New Plan

E 2 was only 99. NP suggested tr!gger Wednesday night. Instead I”m going to trigger early Thurs am (while using OPKs to make sure I’m not going to ovulate on my own earlier than that). Insem before work Thurs, late Thurs night and Friday after work. That will be 0, 14, and 35 hours post trigger. My donor is so incredibly accomodating that I’m sure he’d take time off work if I asked him but I don’t want to. I really can’t take any more time off work this week either. My numerous appointments have been noticed. My supervisor asked today if everything was OK. She knows about the hyp0thyr0id and the P C O S so I just told her I’ve been seeing an endocrinologist to get things straightened out. Only a half truth, right?

Oh my G-D!

I am ovulating!!!!! For the first time in a really really long time (a few years) I am ovulating. I have been temping, checking CM, and peeing on OPKs (even though I know they aren’t always reliable for people with PCOS). All signs point to ovulation! I can’t believe how much EWCM I have. I am talking gobs. I always remembered having a lot in high school before I knew what it was and it freaked me out. I thought there was something wrong with me. People should really explain a woman’s body to her better. I knew nothing of these fertility signs until a few years ago.

All it took was:

• Pr0metrium (400 mg a day for 2 weeks) followed by one of the worst periods I can ever remember (3 heavy days with debilitating cramps followed by 5 regular days and 2 days of spotting)
• Metf0rmin (1000 mg a day for 2 weeks). I started the Metf0rmin on CD 5 only because I had to wait on my liver function tests to come back OK before I could start it.
• Losing 10 pounds.

Here’s hoping it isn’t a freak occurrance. I still have a year but maybe if I can get my weight down to my goal by next summer (and things haven’t worked out for R) we can start TTC with my body because I’m ovulating!!!
