CD 28 - See Spot Run, See Spot Hide

Last night was my last provera pill. Shortly after I had to make a pit stop. *TMI ALERT* Whilst in the loo I noticed a tinging of pink on my TP. I actually said to myself wow! wow! WOW! Ok, deep breath, butterflies, WOW!! SIGH.

I was not expecting it this soon. I dunno if I am shooked at it's promptness, excited at the prospect of a new cycle and a new opportunity, or nervous and scared of bleeding again for 20 days.

This morning I had nothing. But a few hours ago it was back and as of the last pit stop it seems to be getting heavier. Still not a light flow...more of a spotting, but getting there. OMG!!!!!!! I am going to do injectibles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CD27 - The Finale PROVERA

Today will be my last provera. Can't wait to see how long AF will take to get here. Come on girlfriend I am ready for the needles!!

But you've only just finished your last period! Maybe this
one will be lighter because your womb lining hasn't had as long to develop. God,
a year ago I wouldn't have had a clue about all this.

I took the provera initially to stop the abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). But the normal side effect for the provera is to cause you to shed your lining. My lining was 11.7 upon last measure and that was AFTER bleeding for 20 some odd days, so no thin lining here. My doctor really didn't consider the entire 20 days AF, and referred to it as AUB.

So I am thinking w/ the thickness of my lining I am in for it when AF gets here. I just hope that it's my normal 7 days and not triple that. Once she is here I call to set up my baseline appointment. Hopefully all will be well and I can start clo*mid and foll*istim.

CD22 ~ The End is near...

Thank you for your good wishes.

So, I got THE call. Well actually I called them at 4pm b/c they did not call yet and the nurses were still discussing blood work with the doctor. I leave work at 4:15, told DH to race home so I can see if there is a VM. There was. The nurse said the doctor said to go ahead and start on the Provera. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS!!!!!

So I debated all night long... to take the provera or not to take the provera. What if there is a chance I may still O?? I would have missed it last cycle had I listened to the nurse and went home to wait for AF. What if I don't O and I make the wait to start a new cycle even longer. The deciding factor?!? After no spotting or anything all day lone, I went to the bathroom after watching the new 90210(which was not as bad as I thought it would be) and I seen Red. Told DH to come on we are going to CVS and I got my RX and took my first pill last night.

7 days...last time I had to take Provera, it was for 10 days...10mg...and the most horrid, retched, AF I ever had in my life. I am scared of what kind of AF I am going to have when it comes. DH said he will put a shower curtain under me LOL...men!

So, here we go again w/ this yo-yo cycle...it's still a break one and I put my BBT back in the draw.

CD21 - Break cycle turned natural cycle

Today was my follow up RE appointment. Had my blood taken by my not usual nurse who kinda hurts, and then went to get my ultrasound. My 16mm (on Friday) follie is now at 15mm, oddly shaped and has liquid around it. The tech said I am in process of O'ing. She was very happy. My lining was 10mm on Friday and is now 11.7mm, it’s thick, but the bleeding is just spotting now. They then asked if I completed my homework that was assigned to me (relations with DH on Monday), of course I did on Friday, Sunday AND Monday!~! So they next did a PCT (post coital test). We waited to be called back to speak to the RE. What he said is that 1 of 2 things can be happening. 1- I am ovulating on my own which is great or 2- it’s a fake out…a follicle that is empty. The nurse will call me with the results of my blood work. If #1 is true than we had good timing with our relations and the doctor said my PCT was good (last time I had dead spermies). If #2 is true, he gave me a prescription for provera to shed the lining. Once I shed that lining, we will start with clomid and follistim. I asked what could explain the bleeding, he said hormone imbalance. I asked if the ovulation that I may be doing is a residual effect from the oral meds I have been taking, he said no, that my body is most likely metabolizing correctly due to the Fortamet.

CD17 - Visit with the RE

I had an U/S today. My lining is 10mm which means I will still keep bleeding. My ovaries were looked at. My right ovary is quiet. My left ovary has a 16mm follie on it. WTF!!! I then had my blood taken. If I don't get a call I am to have sex on Monday and go back on Tuesday for a looksee at my follie.

So, what are my chances of this follie actually ovulating while I am still bleeding? And there is no chance of implantation b/c I am shedding correct??

I am torn between anger for the bleeding and joy from the follie.

CD15 - AF just won't go away.

Going to see the RE on Friday. Not my RE b/c he's on vaca...but an RE. 15 days and still bleeding this is not normal for me. In all my abnormal AF history w/ PCOS this has NEVER happened to me. A week, 8 days...but 15 is just too much. And it's evil ...it comes and goes. Monday night it was almost gone but I woke up yesterday full of blood. It went away during the morning but came back in the afternoon...by bed time it was almost gone and there was barely nothing there this morning...but it just came back again about two hours ago TMI (lining and all). I'm scared....I am wondering if it's endo and all kinds of things.

CD10 of Break cycle....

Here I am 10 days into my cycle and I STILL have AF. Am I serious, you ask? Yes, I am. I am quite tired of it!!



I called the nurse this morning, she looked at my file and my lining was 3-4mm thicker than normal, I figured my lining was thick and that I would have a very heavy AF. Not a medium at time heavy AF lasting this long....my normal 7 days is enough. I was told if it doesn't let up by Monday or Tuesday, to call so I can been seen for B/W and U/S. I am on a break people, I did not want to step near the office while I was on a break. Please AF I am begging, GO AWAY!!!



Other than that, not much going on. I have jury duty on Monday, which I really don't want to go to. I served 3 years ago. I would rather be at work.



School will be starting soon. DSS will be in the 11th grade. Am getting old...so is his dad!! He already towers us (got that from his mom's side).



Ferrets are doing great. Work stinks like always, but yes, I would rather be at work than Jury Duty. Been listening to some really old music called Freestyle, and it's bringing back my child hood lol.



Almost time to go home. Can't wait.

Oh, good news. My job has opened a gym. It will be ready in September. I am joining. I am very excited. I also am trying to get back on my diet. Have not had any big slip ups all week. My job also sent a survey to see if we want a nutritionist. How awesome!!! I can not wait.
