I Pee'd on a Stick.

Three words: Very. Faint. Line. Yep, that's right. There were two lines one was just lighter than the other. I tested this morning, 12 dpo. I showed hubbs and he said he could see the line. Could I?!?! I'm out of tests but I will likely be making a detour past the pharmacy on my way home from the office.

On the other hand, hubbs had a point. Why waste the money when I could just wait until my follow up on Wednesday and see what my RE says. All bets are off if AF comes before then.

Oh so much up in the air!!!

8 dpo.

Well folks, (should I even say "folks" since I am pretty much writing to myself?) I'm 8 dpo. I find it eerily familiar that my last cycle was timed like this. PMS symptoms should be starting anyday now since I frankly don't feel like I got knocked up this time around. I have officially started the frequent grabbing of the boobs to check for soreness. Which, might I add, is both a PMS symptom and a pregnancy symptom so I'm probably grabbing myself for no reason. Perhaps I should give that job to the hubbs. At least he'll get some enjoyment from it. Ha.

Now the great internal debate is if I should pee on a stick this weekend, Sunday, 11dpo or if I should ride it out until my follow-up next Wednesday. Oh who am I kidding. I'll be at Walgreens first thing Saturday.

5dpo.

Time. goes. so. slow. on a two week wait. I'm only 5dpo and I'm already getting impatient. I don't feel any different than I normally do except for the random slight cramping that sometimes appears. I don't read too much into that because I experienced the exact same thing during my last BFN cycle. Time will tell. Last cycle AF came 11dpo, and since luteal phases are pretty standard, I would except her this coming Sunday. Frankly, I hoping that if this cycle is a bust I will at least not start until Monday or Tuesday because I'm not scheduled for my follow up until next Wednesday and I'm worried that will throw me off with planning our next cycle. I'm a nervous nelly.

Is anyone else out there on their TWW?

Let's Play Catch-Up Shall We?

Hello fellow bloggies! I know each of you are on the blogosphere for different reasons, and frankly, I'm flattered you stumbled upon my blog. I've been a frequent blog reader but have never had my own blog. My parents always told me that I talk alot so even if nobody reads this at least I can talk, errr....type it out. So without further ado let me catch you up to where I am at this point in my life.


  • Married in 2006 to my A.mazing husband.

  • February 2009- Stopped the pill because while we weren't actively "trying" there was no reason to be on the pill. Plus, I new that it takes some women time to get regular after the pill and I wanted to be ready when we decided to get in the baby making game.

  • June 2009- Still no sign of my period. See my OB-GYN and she puts me on Provera to try and trigger a period. Yep, nothing.

  • July 2009- My OB-GYN thinks a little estrogen might kick things off. She puts me on Estrogen + Provera. Hmmm.... Still nothing.

  • September 2009- OB-GYN refers me an RE (Reproductive Endcrinologist).

  • October 2009- Dx with PCOS and given my first treatment regimen to start taking when hubbs and I decide we are ready and have the time to focus on getting preggers.

  • December 2009- We are READY!

  • January 2010- Take Prometrium to trigger a period but don't get much of a response. Start taking the middle dosage of 100 mg. on "CD 3-7". CD13 u/s shows 2 mature follies 18 & 24 mm. Lining measures a 9. Yay! Give myself the trigger shot to induce ovulation. Do the baby dance with hubbs for three days. Outcome = BFN.

  • February 2010- After a clear baseline u/s move to Femara and hope for a good response like Clomid but less CM issues. CD 13 u/s shows no mature follies. :( Go back for a CD 16 u/s and one grew to 22 mm, lining a 7 (not great but decent). YAY! Give myself my trigger shot and baby dance. Outcome = ?!?!?

So, that's where I am now, cycle number two. On day 2 of my two week wait and 2dpo. I have no expectations at all. If this cycle gives me a BFP that would be wondeful but if it doesn't then I'll move on to whatever comes next. God has a plan. I'm just waiting to see how it plays out.

I'd love to hear from any of you that are in a similar situation. Toodles bloggies. :0)
