Not much to report on other than having the IUI! Very exciting. There really isn't too much to talk about, which I suppose in these instances is a great thing. Everything went just like she said it would, she made comments throughout how great everything looked (haha) and how it was the perfect procedure.
Basically, now we are just playing the painfully long, 2 week wait game. That puts us at Thanksgiving to test. I'm wondering if I should even test on Thanksgiving. I don't want to ruin the day if it's negative, so I might just wait until the next day. Though at the same time, you know I'd be preoccupied the entire day thinking about the test, so I don't know! What do you think?
My period is unpredictable at best, so that makes things less awesome. A normal woman would just wait for her period, if it doesn't come then the chances are better (obviously). Mine may or may not come regardless of being pregnant or not. Either way, it's just two weeks! :)
If my period starts before the two weeks, we'll have the same drill as last time. I'll call on the 2nd day of my period, go in for an ultrasound and talk about using Clomid again or injections and go from there. If it's positive after the two week waiting period, then I go in for a blood test I believe twice in a weeks period to see if some pregnancy hormone has doubled (like it should in a healthy pregnancy). Then, some time after that we'll check for a heartbeat at which time I believe I would go off of my Metformin. I'll know more details on all this when the time comes.
Thank you for your positive thoughts, well wishes and prayers. I believe they just might be working!

- I'm happily married to my best friend. As you can see in my 'interests' I'm an outdoorsy kind of girl. I'd rather go camping than stay at a fancy hotel. I love to fish but haven't been in years. I've found I love to blog, too. It's both an outlet for my own personal sanity, plus if it can help even one woman cope with their PCOS--I'm thrilled!

The Period!
All of my loyal man-readers.. stop here. You were warned.
My period showed up just after office hours on the last day of the work week. AKA Friday at 7:00pm. If you remember, I was supposed to call the office right when I get my period and schedule an ultrasound for no more than 3 days after the start of my period. Of course, I will be going in Monday morning. Might just show up! Only problem being, while on this awful birth control I have had really heavy 3 day periods. I did however stop my BC pills, but it wasn't more than 5 days ago--so if this is a 3 day period, might not be here Monday!! Grr. I assume this 'while you're menstrating transvaginal ultrasound' BS is somewhat of an important step in this whole process of creating children.. so I will be a little ticked off if we have to start over next month. I think this is the one time in my life I'm hoping for a long, heavy period that lasts through the weekend. Ha!
Keep you posted after the ultrasound Monday.

2 Days left of Birth Control pills! :D
*EDIT*[Rather than go back through and adjust.. I made a mistake! Today (Monday) is my last day on BC pills. Took the last pill this morning. So I expect my cycle to start Wednesday, which will still put me at Thursday or Friday for my first ultrasound!]
Typically, I always seem to update after a procedure or a Dr visit when things are still fresh in my head--but I thought I'd switch it up a bit and just update all two of my followers (love you guys!!) on what's swimming around in my head! So, I have 5 'active' BC pills left, my Dr told me I could skip the last three if I wanted (I want, I want!) and just go off of it then. So that leaves, what? Monday and Tuesday! And then the waiting game for the period. Which, I skipped ONE day previously and started very lightly spotting, breast tenderness, etc etc.. all the normal period woes. So I'm expecting that wait to be less than 2 days. Which means, first ultrasound in about 4 days! Thursday or Friday, I'm guessing. I forget the reason, something to do with follicles, why I have to have a transvaginal ultrasound while on my period. Other than to make me feel completely uncomfortable! You'd figure by now it wouldn't be an issue. But, it sounds terrible. The ultrasound isn't bad at all, I had one my first visit to diagnose the PCOS. Oh well. As a friend would say, we're doing this for our little miracle(s)! I'll keep you updated, as I'm sure you're just dying to know when I start my period. Ciao!
