Doctor Appointment

Just got back from the OB and got some encouraging news. The dr. seems to think that I am ovulating since taking the Metformin has regulated my periods, which according to her means my hormones are balancing out. I still have my doubts though. She seems to always be too positive and like she is trying to keep me from getting discouraged. And I'd rather know the truth. I showed her my BBT chart and she said it looked great, eventhough after I "ovulate" my temp goes back down. So she said to give it 6-12 months! I thought I was going to fall off the table. She told me that a year ago when we decided we would start trying to get pregnant. Then when I started Metformin, she said 3-6 months. So I am waiting until July, and then we take the next steps. Semen analysis and possibly Clomid. She also told me that we could do a day 21 progesterone check to make sure I am ovulating, but then she reassured me that I was. That would require blood work every month, and insurance wouldn't pay because it's for fertility. AND on top of all this I am home sick today. The pollen is killing me. My whole face hurts, but I'm afraid to take any meds due to it possibly interfering with my fertility. So I'll suffer, and I'll do it gladly if it means a better chance of conceiving a child.

Negative

So my hubby came home and this morning he practically made me pee on a stick! :) I knew it wouldn't be positive because my spotting's been heavier. Of course it came up, you guessed it, one pink line. Then today everything in my body seemed to go back to normal, like a regular cycle. Go figure, a waste of a test! Anyway, another chance to try. I don't know why, but I just feel it's going to happen sooner than later. I go back to the OB at the end of this month, so we shall see what she says.

"After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you."
1 Peter 5:10

Waiting and Wondering

So much for 30 days in my cycle. It's now been 34 days and I'm so anxious to know what's going on in my body. I FEEL like I'm cramping and about to start my period, but I haven't. And I've had minimal spotting, but that's it. So I looked online (bad idea) and read that many women have the same symptoms when they are in early pregnancy. So my hopes go soaring and then I come back to the realization that I'm more than likely not pregnant. AND I've been taking my BBT and it's been down. From what I've read it's supposed to go up if you're pregnant. So then I also looked that up on line and some women can still experience low BBT, especially if it's early. So...I just don't know. Jonathan is out of town anyway and I would never take a test without him here because it's just as important to him as it is to me. So maybe by Sunday I'll take one.
