Question, Ladies.

    So I am sure i'm not the only one that does this, or at least I hope not... For a few years now we have been buying little baby things here and there... mostly things on clearance or really really cute things we just had to have. Today I was on ebay and found these

I know, super cute, right?!?! ahh! so cute! Paid 7.50 for them on Ebay, free shipping. They are from Mudpie.. I think they have a website...

   Anyway, we don't have much, but we do have maybe a plastic tote full. I was wondering, should I do a baby buys blog?! I figured it would be really boring, but maybe it wont be? I will probably also do a video on my youtube also.  I'm feeling a bit more optimistic this cycle.. not sure why, and I probably shouldn't get my hopes up but sometimes that's hard to do I guess. Anyway, just wanted to share this!

Yay! Good News Everyone!

    Sorry it's been so long since my last post. We are looking at moving, Nate started a new job, and things have just been hectic in this house!!!

    We went back to the RE this past Monday, the 5th.  If you all remember, we haven't been back since he made us take a break back in October or November. He sat us in his office and said my levels of everything were looking good and he wanted to take the next step to get me pregnant! Woohoo! He wrote me my first prescription for clomid! Starting out on 50mg, CD 3-7.  Was on CD 26 day of doctors appointment but he went ahead and gave me provera to go ahead and start the cycle so we can start clomid!! So excited!!! Finally, some medication that is going to get stuff done. I go in for a mid cycle ultrasound on CD 12 or 13!!!! :D:D:D Honestly I am not expecting the 50mg to work for me. Since I got sick at the beginning of last month I have not been taking my metformin! I know I know, its bad.. I tried to take it the other day and I was SO SICK, it was the worst I have felt in a long time. I just couldn't bring myself to take it again and there was no way I was going to be able to go to work with what it was doing to my stomach.  Who knows, 50mg may be all we need!


Oh yeah, I am on day four of ten with provera... so six days of pills left. They are doing a number on me this time... Hot flashes, mood swings, the works... what is the deal with that?!

   Not much else is going on, I have lost another 8ish pounds since my last appointment with my family doctor in December. I'm not going to be all hardcore weight loss... bad for fertility. But I have made different lifestyle choices that are leading to a healthy weightloss, 1lb a week or so. That is fine by me.. I honestly wouldn't loose any weight, I really love my body the way it is, but I am doing for the sake of my fertility.

    I know I am going to get pregnant.. I know it is going to happen. It has to. Its going to work. It will work. Maybe not this cycle, but I know it will. I just have that feeling like it is our time. Things are great other than our incomplete family status.

                                                Look below for a bad ass rx!

Update!

    Hey there, I know it has been a while. First off, I randomly started AF yesterday. It was a 31 day cycle for me. For the last 6 months my cycle lengths have been 45-50 days. Which is weird, becuase I had to stop taking metformin about 2-3 weeks ago because of some illness I was going through.

   Total different story. At the begining of the month my doctor thought I was having an appendicitis. Was going to go in for surgery that night, but they figured out that it was not an appendicitis. I ended up with gastroenteritis... which is like metformin side effects times 100. I lost 15lbs in 5 days. I felt like I was literally going to die. About a week and a half later I feel better.

  Think everything is fine now? Not quite. I woke up the day before yesterday with a terrible toothache. Went to the dentist that day and they scheduled me for surgery the next day (yesterday) to have all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed! So yesterday I had that done. It was a really weird experience. Here I am though, one day after the surgery and I am feeling ok. I am a little sore, and the only thing I can eat is mashed potatoes and ice cream.... Which I normally love but when thats all I can eat, its getting old!!!!

   We are still going back to the RE on March 5th. Still excited!!

Not much else is going on. I have no idea when I will ovulate this cycle. It seems each cycle is getting shorter and shorter. Which is good, but now I have no idea when I will ovulate!!!

CD 3 Update

    To start this blog off, this has been the WEIRDEST af I have ever had. Usually hell has broken loose by now. However, this af is unusually manageable. Maybe I am just getting "healthier" or something, would the metformin do this? Its just strange.  I thought the bleeding I am experiencing might be implantation or something, I know, I am reaching pretty far out. But, I have heard of women that mistake implantation or early pregnancy bleeding for af (?) so I have been taking hpts and not really seeing anything.  So I am expecting the flow to pick up, but today is day 3 and my cycle doesn't really go for more than 4 or 5 days (?). I am so lost.

    On another note, the last time I bought some first response pregnancy tests I got a fertility test with it. I know I have used them before, but I don't think I ever read the instructions. So today I used the fertility test by the instructions.  It is basically just an FSH test.

Results look normal, though at the RE he did an ultrasound and said there were PLENTY of eggs left, so I didn't really expect this to be elevated.

I have been using my ovacue, but of course we wont be able to tell anything with that for a few days... like 20 ish to be exact (since my cycles are longish- 46 days is the average right now for me.)

Nothing else to update!  Hope everyone is doing well! 

Say some extra prayers for a blog buddy of mine who is 12 dpo and is testing on Monday.. she is going to be the best mommy ever, her baby is just being picky about when he or she wants to be born!

Cycle day 1 and some good news

I am sitting here at work typing this on my iPhone, just wanted to share with everyonethe news that we got yesterday. My family doctor called and said my a1c is now 6.6%! ok ok, it's not great and I didn't think it was that much better (6.8 in November) but apparently it was great news to Dr.M, my re! He was ecstatic! He was talking with my family doc and ok'd me to start back fertility treatment attye heck ing of March! Woohoo! I wasnt expecting this so soon I guess.. I thought it was going to have to be a lot lower. Dr. M expalained to family doc that he just wanted it under 7% and it was originally, but wanted to get it a little lower just to make sure baby will be absolutely healthy. He said I probably could have been with child by now but the chance of birth defects was high (I don't understand why, just because of sugar level?). Anyway, should be startin clomid in March. I hope it will work extra great since I will have been on metformin for 5 months by then. Don't have the exact date of the appointment, I will call at 8 today.

Another thing, I started a 12 day bottle of provera about 7 days ago and af showed this morning.. That's weird isn't It?? I did some calculations yesterday and I think I may have ovulated on the 28th ish, meaning I am not out yet.. Which would make today 8 dpo, had some spotting on the 3rd and some cramping. I'm sure it's af, but not really sure at the same time.I will keep you all updated!
