Final Update

AF came with a vengeance Saturday but today there has been no flow at all yet....weird for me to only have a 2 day period.  Oh well, I'm not complaining!

I called my RE on Friday to get suggestions for a birth control pill for and he recommended generic brand Yasmin.  It had a mid-level of estrogen to help with PCOS symptoms but still shouldn't make me gain even more weight than I have.  Good news is that he is calling it into my pharmacy so I can cancel that GYN appointment I made for next month.  He also said that I have a good chance of ovulating on my own for a few months after stopping the pills when I've been on them for a few months.

I've been reading online that the worst pills to miss taking are during the 1st and 3rd week and typically when girls get pregnant while on the pill it's because they miss pills during these weeks.  Since I'm not taking these pills to prevent pregnancy, but to get my PCOS symptoms under control, I'm going to purposely skip pills during the months I know I'll be around my husband.

Peace, love, health and happiness to all!

11dpo ~ The End

So...I was pretty excited about my temperatures and the way I was feeling the last couple days, despite the fact that I was convinced nothing was going to happen this month.

Then yesterday my temp dropped, just like it did at 10dpo last month and then today took a nosedive.  Even though I stocked up on Dollar Tree tests, I'm not even going to bother testing unless AF doesn't show up by Monday.

Also, we are going to be super busy the rest of the year with my husband's promotion and moving halfway across the country.  I'm really not going to the time or mental state to bother with temping and doctor appointments, etc.  In addition, starting December 5 my husband will be away for 3 months for training and obviously we can't do any babymaking then.  I've considered doing a round of soy in September just because it's cheap and doesn't require doc visits, but I'm not totally set on it yet.

I need to call my GYN and get an appointment to get put on birth control.  I have heard of PCOSers getting pregnant after coming off birth control because your hormones are back in check, so let's pray that happens to me.

If I get a surprise BFP I'll let you all know but until then, fairwell till Spring 2011

HCG Post Day 4

I feel ok today, just my stomach muscles hurt, like I've done a bunch of sit up.  This happens to me every month so I'm not thinking too much into it.  I still have a headache but it's pretty mild compared to what I've been dealing with.  My temps are still all over the place.  I got another + OPK today.  Since I already have quite a few of them, I decided that I would just use them to test out the trigger.  I was hoping my temp would spike today so I can't stop obsessing over it but no such luck.

Something strange...I went to bed with my belly button hurting a little and I ended up having a dream that I had an infection in my belly button where I use to have it pierced (10 years ago).  When I woke up my belly button hurt worse than when I went to bed.  LOL

I shouldn't even be thinking about this because I know pregnancy this month is a long shot....but I've decided that I will tell my husband on our 1st year anniversary which is Sept 4.  Although, I'll find out about a week prior so let's see if I can hold it in that long.

Until next time....

HCG Post Day 3

So....I was just informed that the OPK's I've been doing are pointless.  Ha! Apparently those tests pick up on LH and HCG and since I have HCG in my system, well then they will obviously be positive.  But I will tell you that the one I took today was only barely positive.

I feel somewhat better.  I still have a headache and I'm tired but most everything else is gone.  I can also cry at the drop of a hat.

I'm debating on whether I want to go get some Dollar Tree tests and test out the HCG or just wait it out normally.  I should probably just wait so I'm not obsessing so much.

HCG Post Day 2

Wow...beginning yesterday late afternoon I began feeling like total crap, like I was coming down with strep throat.  Horrible headache, mild nausea, body aches, mild sore throat, SO tired, feel feverish but not running a temp.  I've not had any twinges or cramping or any kind of pain in my pelvic area.  My stomach is a little bruised where I the shot went in but it doesn't really bother me.

Today I still feel bad but not as bad as yesterday.  I think I'd be a lot better if this headache would go away.  I'm sure being out in the 103 degree weather most of today didn't help my headache at all.

I got a strong positive yesterday afternoon and another positive today, though not as strong.  I told The Hubs last night he was off the hook but since I got another positive today I have to take back my statement.  He has been super super busy at work and now I'm starting to get pulled into it so timing has been horrible but we've managed to pull it off.  Maybe I'll just be so busy the next couple weeks that I won't drive myself crazy with waiting until I can test.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

HCG Post Day 1

Yesterday evening at about 7 I felt like something was going on down there, not too much pain or even uncomfortable.  I was stuck sitting at one of my husband's co-worker's house so I couldn't really dote on it like I would have if I was home.

This morning I woke up feeling perfectly fine and about 30 or so minutes ago I started feeling somewhat feverish so I knew I was having an LH surge.  Sure enough, I just took an OPK and it was positive.  We'll have sexy time again tonight, a quickie on Saturday afternoon and I told my husband I'll leave him alone for the month after that.  He's been super busy at work with crazy hours and will be for the next 3-4 weeks.

Prayers this works!

Checking my Work

I just took an OPK and it was negative but a pregnancy test was a very faint positive (so that's what it looks like!! haha).  So I guess I injected the HCG correctly according to the pregnancy test but I was under the impression that an OPK was be positive right away as well.

I dunno...maybe I'll take one tonight before sexy time and see what happens.
