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!

Off the doc to check and see if I managed to ovulate on my own this time!

Praying for you.

I was just wondering how your appointment went today

Hey rodswife!! Thanks for asking- I'll get the results probably tomorrow or the next day. They have to do some bloodwork.

I'll be anxiously awaiting the results. Lol

Fingers crossed for you :)

Talked to the doc's office this morning, and they said that my progesterone was at 7.4, but they still think I ovulated. This leaves me wondering... Just how low is my "normal" level of progesterone?!? I am going to talk to him about maybe taking some progesterone supplements or using a cream or something. But at least I ovulated! Since I missed the ovidrel shot I don't know exactly when it happened so I am giving myself until July 6 before I consider taking a preg test. If I am on schedule according to the chart (despite missing the shot) then I should start my period on the 3rd or so. I refuse to get too worked up though, until I know for sure I am late.

Ovulating on your own is a step in the right direction. That is excellent news. I'm going to keep the faith. I think this is the month for you. :)

Thanks rodswife! I'm hoping so. :)

Hey girlie. Just checking in on you. How are things?

How is it going? Update?

Hey y'all! Everything is going pretty good! Today is the last day on the chart for this cycle, but I'm giving myself an extra four or five days before I say I'm actually late. We don't know for sure when I ovulated, so it's a bit more flexible this time around. I'm thinking I'm prolly not pregnant this time, though. I've gotten some acne, crabbiness, bloating, and a cramp here and there, so I am thinking I'll probably start at some point this week.

I thought the same thing with my last and ended up being pregnant. Just keep the faith.

Cramping is worse today. Last night after I laid down for bed they got really bad- I was getting chills and goosebumps from the pain.

I hope it just blows over. Praying hard for you
