Cindy B's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
January 19, 2001
I can't believe I missed my last entry. I kept looking at the time on Tuesday thinking, "Cindy, don't forget …". Well the next thing I know the time was up. But I didn't have much to tell anyway, but I do now…
I just came back from the OB. AF came super late, about a week later than expected. But better late than never. So Tuesday, Jan. 9 was cycle day 1 for me. On days 3-7 I took 50 mg Clomid and from days 8-12 I am supposed to take 0,02 mg Progynon C, which is supposed to help build up the uterine lining. So, I'm on day 11 today and still have one more day of Progynon C to take. Then I get to wait.
So yesterday I was still having AF and I was kind of worried that she wouldn't go away. But this morning there was almost nothing there. Anyway, I told the OB all about the weird cycle, etc. He took an internal u/s and he said the even though I was still having AF until yesterday, my lining is building up nicely and he found 2 follicles (one on each side) that are big enough to come into question. He even showed them to me. But to be honest, I don't know he can figure out what anything is on that screen. Anyway, he said that my O would come later, probably about next Thursday. The funny thing is that he keeps talking about when I O and I always talk about if I O. I hate to be negative, but I guess I just want to prepare myself for the worst. I know every woman's body is different and reacts differently to the same thing. But, for some reason I have heard so many stories of women who have PCOS and don't even O on 200 mg of Clomid and I'm just afraid that I won't either.
The OB also said that after I O I should come in so they can check my Progesterone levels. Nonetheless, Stefan and I are scheduled for a big, fatty BD fest next week (this is probably going to be difficult news for him to take! LOL!)
We shall see what happens.
On Wednesday, I officially said goodbye to all of my collegues at my old job. I had a few last things to clear up before I start my new job on Feb. 1st, so I came by (even though I still have vacation). It was so strange to have to say goodbye to these people. But I have to look forward at all of the new people that I'll meet soon.
Today Stefan and I are driving to Fulda (again). I think the car can drive the whole way by itself at this point. We were there in November, December, and now in January. His aunt is celebrating her 80th birthday on Saturday. Luckily Stefan's cousins, whom I really like, will be there as well as my BIL and his girlfriend, Anke, so it should actually be fun.
So, I hope everyone has a positive, low-stress week!!
Take care,
Cindy
