It was enough provera! My period is finally here. I was so rudely woke up at 5am. I knew it was coming but didn't expect it so early. Not fun that early in the morning. So it's officially day 1. I emailed the nurse already, in hopes that they can squeeze me in Monday morning. Monday or Tuesday I'll be going and probably starting meds the same day as the appointment. The original plan was they wanted to do it days 3-7, but that isn't always possible with scheduling.
I'm forcing myself to try this positive thinking thing that I was reading about. It said to stay calm, and just keep telling yourself that it is going to happen, that your body will ovulate, etc. So, I'm going to try to stay calm, and keep reminding myself that.
The obsessive crazy person in me already checked the Dr. Amy site and found out that if things work, based on a 28 day cycle, I'd be ovulating around March 14th, which is a weekend (big plus there with Dennis's schedule lately!) and I'd be due around December 5th. So I'm crossing everything and praying that this time works. Even if it can force me to ovulate, then it will be a positive cycle to me. We are pretty sure the last time I ovulated was the cycle that I got pregnant with Kristopher. So that was 5 years ago now! It's about time right?!

Here we go.
I was just told to start provera. So first pill taken! Here we go! As soon as it shows up, I am getting scheduled for my first appt before day 5 to get all the rest of the study stuff and medications. The provera probably won't take long to bring it on. I can't believe we're actually starting this now! It's really happening. Everything crossed that this works fast and everything will be ok. More updates to come.....

Intro
I've decided to create a blog to keep track of our upcoming appts and all the new stuff going on here. I haven't been updating much lately because it's been boring while preparing for the upcoming PCOS study. Now we are real close to starting to this will be my place to keep track of it all and hopefully change it to be a blog to keep track of a pregnancy in the near future. After over 4 years, it's about time right?!
Anyway, for those who don't know much about the study or what's going on, here's a recap.
In September we found out that my like 6 year diagnosis of "unexplainable infertility" was really PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Funny we find that out as we had maxed out all our infertility benefits, so anything to help was all out of pocket. So, everything was on hold. In November, I found out about a trial study being held for PCOS patients wanting to get pregnant. I made a few calls and quickly had my appt to come in and be evaluated to see if I was eligible. I met all the guidelines and was accepted into the study. The study is a "blind study" between clomid and femara. I won't know which med I'll receive, until the study is totally over and then we find out which it was. It is done for 5 cycles and everything is totally covered. I'll be monitored by u/s and blood work many times throughout each round, and be in touch with the nurse as well. I've had a HSG done and we determined my tubes are open. Dennis had his test done and determined he is "perfect" hahahaha...seriously though, all his came back great and she had to use that word perfect when giving us his results. I've had a total hormonal work up and various u/s done and everything is great except I definitely have PCOS. After all this time though, I'm glad to finally have a real answer.
