Well, I really am just terrible at keeping this blog up to date. I guess I will start where I left off. It turns out I did not ovulate on my own just from the drilling. :( When I called the office to get the results she explained that my progesterone was only 0.9, and was indicating I didn't ovulate and that I wasn't going to start my period. I was sitting on the bed, and Jonathan was laying beside me. I hung it up and just started to bawl, I was inconsolable. He just held me and I cried for a couple minutes, gained my composure and went on with my day.




Flash forward to March 14th when I started a period from taking more provera. I expected nothing from this cycle whatsoever. To me, in my head, this whole thing had became a means to the end. To get to a failed IVF cycle so I could say to myself "I have done everything I could, and this is it. Its over, and its time to move on." My doctor told me he wanted to do a Clomid/Follistim cycle, which is the last thing I did before the drilling, so I expected even less. We have 4 ultrasounds that cycle. A baseline, which was normal. A cycle day 10 check, that revealed absolutely nothing. It looked as though it wasn't working. A cycle day 14 check. This one was intriguing. The doctor said I had a dominant follicle, which hadn't ever happened before. He said continue to take the shots and come back. I came back on cycle day 16, still expecting nothing at all. I am laying there like I always do, Jonathan is sitting behind the doctors not even paying any attention to the ultrasound machine. It was pretty much "lets get this over with so we can go home." The doctor, a resident, and nurse were all in the room as well. The doctor tells me I have nice lining, we all have a good laugh about it. Because I always have good lining. Every ultrasound tech and doctor has complimented me on my lining. WOOOHOOO. lol. Then he uses the wand to look the right and says  "OH!!! There's one!!!!" Even he was surprised. I sat half way up...wand and all and said "REALLY?" I lay back after getting a glimpse, and notice Jonathan has popped out of his chair to look over the doctor shoulder to get a look himself. Its been the best feeling during this journey so far. He told us to go home and take the trigger, and then you know what!

Then my first official 2 week wait started. And it took forever. We took tons of tests, tried different peoples houses, just incase our bathroom is cursed. But 15 days after my first cycle with ovulation my period started. And it was crushing. But, its been a couple days, and many deep breaths later I have decided to call this a successful cycle. We finally know how to get my body to ovulate, and that should make the next cycle easier.

Until next time,
