Starting Fertility Treatments

Hey everybody! It's been a long, long time since I have posted anything, but I wanted to just put an update out there. I was sleeved Dec. 20, 2011, and have lost 54 pounds so far. The doc gave me the green light for getting pregnant a couple weeks ago, and I am doing my first cycle of Clomid. I am so excited! We go to count eggs in 2 days! I have been wanting this for so long now, and I can't believe it's finally happening. DH and I have been wanting a child for over 4 years now. We didn't find out that I had an issue until 2 years ago, and I was diagnosed with PCOS. I am so thrilled to finally be at this point, and hope so much that we can get pregnant right away!

Good luck. I get fascinated with looking at my insides. I wanted them to record my operation so I could watch it. Lolol they said no. I love soup. It goes down smoothly.

The results on the test yesterday were very good- my tubes are all clear! Thursday we count eggs!

They found one egg today. We won't get to look again before the shot to make me ovulate this time, so we're just praying that the little sucker does what it's supposed to. 16 days til we know if it worked this time.

Good luck. All it takes is one.

Fingers crossed for luck!!!

Good luck! Every now and again there's one hiding that they don't see, so here's hoping you have a good chance this month.

Kind of freaking out- we went to pick up the ovidrel shot, and the pharmacy was closed already! We thought they were open til 8! Now we don't have the shot, and we won't be able to get it until tomorrow morning at 10. I was supposed to take it tonight at 6pm. I won't get it until 16 hours after I was supposed to take it! I am so frustrated and upset. I'm scared that I just wasted a whole month of medicine.

Hubs went to the pharmacy this morning to get the Ovidrel shot. Better late than never, right? Well the pharmacy didn't have it ready for us. They have to special order it, and won't be able to get it before Wednesday. Maybe I will just ovulate on my own. I've been kind of bloated and crampy. Part of me is afraid that the follicle will just keep growing and growing and growing until my ovary is the size of a basketball....

Hang in there girl. Maybe this is gods way of saying its going to happen naturally. Don't lose faith. Praying for you. Baby dust is coming your way.

Thank you so much my wonderful friend! Is it normal to get tired and cranky when you ovulate?

For me, I always get moody around that time. Not so much tired as just very emotional and moody. I also get really thirsty. Lolol
