One! :D

IRMA!!

Thirty Two.

No Aunt Irma. No cramps. I even wore white to Bollyrobics to tempt fate.

Come on, P4, drop already!

Thirty One.

We have cramps! Aunt Irma is sending her calling card ahead, I think.

We're going away next month, all I can say is I hope this IUI gets done before then! I'm going to have to stress that to the doctor on the CD3 baseline. If Aunt Irma arrives tomorrow, then CD3 will be the 28th, and that does not leave much time at all before we go away. I don't want to have to miss a cycle! That would be crap. If we were doing Gonal-F it wouldn't be an issue but Follistim left something to be desired in the speed department last time.

So come on, Irma, get cracking! I've even planned on wearing white workout pants to Bollyrobics tomorrow, just to tempt you. ;)

Interim.

I've a new, pretty layout. :)

Thirty.

Ok, Aunt Irma...seriously. CD 30? You're not here? WTF?!

I shouldn't be surprised, when I was on Clomid, my cycles were 32 days long. Soy must be the same.

New layout coming soon. This is cute but impractical.

Twenty Eight

Gee, Aunt Irma, you were here *right* on CD 28 last month. Don't you remember that lovely Christmas present that you gave to me? A BFN!

Where are you now, you old dear, when I'd like to get started with something that requires your presence -- my next cycle!

Twenty-six.

I OVULATED!

The post op went well. Very well.

My ovaries are back where they belong and scar-free. My tubes are open. My intestines are back where they're supposed to go, too. Apparently the surgery took about four hours, I wouldn't have known though. Good drugs are good. Everything was fixed.

I've healed well. The doctor did a pelvic and there was no pain. Since we're ready to go, he did an ultrasound and pulled some bloodwork. The ultrasound revealed a surprise - a corpus luteum! I got the bloodwork results back today; P4 of 8 - OVULATION!

So either the soy worked or it's the biggest fluke of nature ever. Either way, it means A: I don't have to take prometreum and B: I'll get my period on my own! :D

Only another infertile would understand how much of a cause for joy this is.
