5 days of Smiley faces!!!

I am growing more and more frustrated with this body of mine! Today, I took another Clearblue digital OPK and the smiley face was blinking for the 5th day in a row! The blinking smiley face mean high fertility or high estrogen and SUPPOSED to mean you are about to have a LH surge for ovulation to occur. Well, I have had no signs of ovulation either from cervical mucous or basal temperature. But I have to keep focusing on the fact that I HAVE been pregnant before and that thought of "maybe you can't get pregnant " no longer works! Now, the thought is, how many cycles is this gonna take? If I am not either ovulating or positive pregnancy test (remember Thanksgiving week when I was out of town and couldn't test or temp?), well its very possible I ovulated that week and if I did, I should have a positive pregnancy test (PPT) by Dec 14th. If its not, I will restart the chlomid cycle and here we go again!

After 10 months, I back!

So I took a break from ttc (trying to conceive) to focus on my foundation and get my head right. So I am going through a pretty tough time right now. I restarted Chlomid on Nov 13th which was CD5 for me and took 💊50mg for 5 days. I use Clearblue Digital OPK to get a more accurate reading. The 1st after my last pill I had a solid smiley face which means peak fertility. Well, thats too soon so I disregarded and BD every other day until the week of Thanksgiving happened!

So we went home for the holidays and which was the most critical week of all! I was supposed to ovulate any day between Nov 22nd - Nov 29th. Thanksgiving was Nov 24th, so we had to find creative ways to "make the deposit." And guess what, I left both my Digital OPK AND my thermometer do I could confirm ovulation. We arrived back home and I immediately tested. My digital OPK was blank face. My BBT was normal. I am left only wondering...

Cycle over, now its Chlomid time!

So I had a regular 7 day period that was pretty much textbook, I'm starting to think that the more I change my diet and exercise that this lifestyle change will change my body internally. 

I am not giving up. Me getting pregnant last year is PROOF that I can conceive! I had the perfect pregnancy until my cervix started to open at 21 weeks. An incompetent cervix is what they called it. So now that we know what the problem is, we can make provisions to keep it closed with a surgery called Cerclage.

Ok folks, my doctors appointment is on Tuesday and I will keep you updated with the latest on my condition.

7 Days of Metformin and still no change YET

I have been taking Metformin at 500mg and getting ready to increase to 1000mg today. The nausea is bad! But I can't give up.  I know it works with chlomid but I'm not about to pay $$$ for more medication, so this needs to work. I try not to think about it. Last time I got pregnant,  I was secretly taking chlomid but I didn't tell my husband because I didn't want to add pressure to our life.

But when my doctor measured the baby, he dated the embryo 2 weeks BEFORE I started taking the chlomid. I did 3 rounds earlier that year and took 3 months off before restarting. So we think the rounds actually prepared my body and then it kicked in months later! I have faith it WILL happen again.

Metformin got me Feeling like crap!

Day 3 after my negative test results and well...I FEEL LIKE CRAP! I'm taking Metformin now which is a medicine that is linked to treating PCOS.  Well, the side effects got me feeling nauseous,  so much so that I had to take another pregnancy test just to make sure I wasn't having morning sickness! And of course, the test was a negative which disappointed my hubby. I am going to try to continue taking it, but I don't know how much more I can take!

Stay posted. I am going to start the natural method instead.  It's just so darn expensive to do this. I wish money was no object. I would fix myself...
