I swear, it seems to get shorter each month. And, I promised that I wouldn't obsess things this time. I still have ovary stabbing. That's what I'm calling it now. Apparently they are awake and mad? Both of them have the weird stabbing, but the left is more frequent now. It's only day 10 too. It seems kind of early to be noticing much of anything but looking back, the last medicated cycle, I had similar issues. It really annoys me that I can't get before ovulation u/s to see if anything is happening. I'm very impatient. For now, my game plan for the next week or so is I'll start the disgusting green tea. I hate green tea but if it helps me, I'll do anything at this point. Timing wise, I'm not stopping till after my appt and they say something is happening. Last month I know our timing after day 14 kinda sucked because that is when the gall bladder issues started. I don't know when I ovulated for sure last cycle. I know that it was later than I thought because my cycle was 31 days long. I had thought I ovulated around day 13, but that would make the LP be 18 days, and that sounds high. And, timing wise, something should have happened if that was the case. So this time we must work on timing. Other than that, I can't really do much more. Because of our wonderful heat wave, which has since ended, my allergies are kicking in. I can't really take anything for it right now because of the whole drying up effect that it has.
I found my notes and info from back when we were ttc K. It was kind of funny to find it, but at the same time, things have really changed! I never had an RE back then. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with me back then but never refered me. It would have been nice because when I still worked, I had awesome insurance. And it covered IF stuff. But I did have a decent ob/gyn and I was somewhat overweight then. I think that was what they blew it off as. The 3 failed cycles all showed the P4 level to be 0.1. I am going to request a copy of the rest of my chart from the cycle that actually worked because I'm curious now. I never asked for the # when they said I did in fact ovulate. I planned to at the next appt but the next one ended up being the one that confirmed my positive test. I do know that the cycle that worked I had major distractions with work and it was around Christmas. A lot of overtime and the usual busy stuff with holidays. I'm not sure the distractions really had that much to do with things then or not. I do have a lot of distractions now but I also know a lot more about everything now than I did back then.
Blog related question....I've decided for now to keep things here rather than move or make it private. I know I get a lot of traffic regarding TTC & PCOS, so I want to keep things public so that maybe someone just starting out or whatever is able to get some info that helps them in their journey. Anyway, when I started the blog, it was with the intent of being just a place to clear my thoughts with all that was going on IF wise. And with hopes of later for tracking a pregnancy and all that comes with that. And now lately it's been for a mix of everything. And a lot more talk about K and family things. And more pictures lately. I wanted to see if those of you who read who are here just for the IF info mind the talk & pictures of the other stuff too? I've debated making a new blog so this one stays just about IF but then it still goes back to the original plan of someday, I hope that it graduates from being just an IF blog. Let me know thoughts on that.
