Yesterday was officially day one of this cycle. I guess the silver lining in all of this is that I'm not bloated yet, and actually weighed a pound less this morning. Yay!
The only thing I'm concerned about is that I had a dull ache on my left side (presumably my ovary) yesterday and today it has become more painful. That also happens to be the side on which I had mid-cycle pain a couple weeks ago as well. Could it be a cyst? Could it mean the follicle didn't release and now it's just getting larger? I hope not, but it's probably a real possibility. I do have poly cystic ovaries, after all.
I'm doing fine, though. I have my doctor's appointment to look forward to (did I mention I have a doctor's appointment on Monday? No?). And we're working today on finding a venue for the screening of my documentary in August. Hopefully we'll find out it won't be too expensive. Other than not feeling that great, I'm mentally okay. I might go buy myself something in the next few days (well, actually it will be on my wonderful mother. I mentioned I hadn't bought myself any new clothes since losing weight and she insisted I go and do just that). And I'm taking it easy today. By the way, thanks for all your kind words. I'm really not sure what I would do without you guys (actually, I do. I use to get a lot more upset over these things).
By the way, do any of you want to enter into a pregnancy pact with me?

ReplyDeleteMe too! M needs a baby brother or sister.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!!!
ReplyDeleteHere we go...
Hey, I have an idea. Let's all try to get pg this cycle! Wouldn't that be fun?!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are getting some new clothes. My bathing suits really cheered me up :) What a great mom you have!
Let's all ovulate on the same day this cycle, 'kay? You, me, and Lifehopes can all get pg on 4th of July, how's that ;)
Does this mean you're ovulating, though? (I'm sorry, I'm terribly ignorant about infertility, but I read through your synopsis on the side and saw that a previous doctor felt you weren't ovulating?)
ReplyDeletePlease pray for me? I am almost finished with a 54 day rosary novena. I am praying for the grace of motherhood. However today I feel so sad and disappointed. That time of the month came again despite all the "trying" on my fertile days and all the prayers.
ReplyDeleteAlso today we celebrated my aunt and uncle's 40th anniversary. We had a great time. However my relatives all asked about my surgery and I told them about my endometriosis. I couldn't even tell them that the doctor said I might be infertile cos I thought I might cry. I was also told today by my cousin that her daughter is expecting. I am very happy for my cousin who is expecting, but it made me feel sad too. I know this sounds awful, but how come she is being given the grace of motherhood and not me??
I think I need prayers for a stronger faith and perseverance. I just feel sad and very disappointment. My husband wants me to continue NFP/Creighton model and seeing about visiting a Catholic pro-life doctor, but really I feel like giving up. I have the feeling that we are not able to conceive without medical help. That's the conclusion I've come to now. It's the reality.
Prayers, please? Thanks for listening! You are in my thoughts and prayers.
May God Bless you.

ReplyDeleteYou're not ignorant! (especially considering most of us and our doctors don't understand it either!) I have been told by a couple doctors that I do not ovulate. I don't know if that means I never have, but I like to think I have at some point in my life. One thing that is confusing, though, is that I still get my period, test positive on those pee-stick ovulations tests, get a temperature rise mid-cyle and appear to the untrained eye to be ovulating. There are, of course, signs that I am not, like my mucus stops and starts (I've been told my ovaries are trying to jump-start themselves) and an ultrasound series has shown that my egg is there but doesn't release.
My last two cycles appear the most normal that I've had since I began charting two years ago, so there's a chance I may have recently ovulated. I'm taking medication to correct one of the hormone problems and around the same time started a diet to correct my PCOS. So let's hope! I will hopefully find out tomorrow at a dr's appt. if he thinks I have.
Sorry if that's not what you were asking and I'm sure it's WAY more info than you wanted anyways!!
Oh no, that's a perfect answer! Thank you :) I hope you've got some good news next time you post, I'm praying for you!!
ReplyDeleteI will and I'm cycle day one today as well! I want to lose weight before I start on clomid again. At age 40 I'm running out of time. I can only lose weight and get healthy with God's help. I will keep praying for you!
