I did it!!!!

I know I said I wasn't going to be able to update till tonight, but I got to my appt early, and out early so I decided to come home for a few hours. The awesome news is:
I OVULATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really happened! She reviewed my journal and thinks too that it was probably around day 13 like I had thought. Urine test was negative, but it is only day 24. She ordered the P4, and a hcg count. We are hoping for higher teens of the P4, and anything with hcg :) She said since I'm on day 24, if the progesterone is under 10, it means that it's dropping, and that I will be having a period within the next week. If it's higher teens, it's a very good possibility of pregnancy. Our timing was "awesome" in the words of the nurse, and everything looked great by u/s. I saw the giant black spot on the left ovary. The uterus looks perfect. They were both very happy with the u/s and the fact things are working first cycle.

The gall bladder issues, we will just wait and see what I found out from my PCP and see how quickly I can get in for surgery. The RE says if I could get in this week, that would be great, because it's so early that if I am pregnant, it won't be a big deal since it's not even detectable yet. But, if it takes them a few weeks to get things in order, then we have to discuss it.
Now, if I did not get pregnant, that is ok too...At least we know that this med works, and I responded great. They said at that point, we will not do round 2, and they want the gall bladder taken out asap. After I get the clear from the surgeon afterwards, I will go in for another progesterone draw and pregnancy test, and pending negative test and no sign of ovulation, they will do an u/s to determine if we need a withdraw bleed or if we can just start meds and make it day 3 cycle wise.

I don't want to seem greedy or anything but I really want for this still to be a total success this month. I know our chances even with great timing isn't real high, but I just want it now. I'm not a patient person when it comes to things like this. It's been 4.5 yrs of trying and no evidence of ovulation that whole time. I just want it to be everything right now! Even though I'll be terrified of surgery if I am pregnant, I have faith that it will all be ok.
So...I'm officially obsessing. I'm insane. Really. I'm not spotting yet, and I always spot about a week before I start, so that's a plus. But we will see what the blood results are today. I should have the call by 3, and then my appt with the PCP is at 3:40. I'm going to beg and plead for this surgery to get done asap so it's behind us. If it could get done this week, I may not have to take a break at all from the study. Provided I don't start a period till next week.

Anyway, I'm extremely happy now, and just had to update now. I've got lots to get done before heading out again, so I better get off here and do it.

  2. Alright!

    Wow, you get a BETA this early in the study? Would it be nice to get an early number back?

    I hope they get to your surgery ASAP, I'm sure it will be the best for everyone.

  3. Michelle, this sounds so promising right now! I bet you are just jumping all over the place (um, at least as much jumping that you can do without too much pain!)

    I can't wait to hear numbers!

    Good luck!
