Ovulation

Hey all... sorry I've been MIA, but as always life is too busy at times. How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was nice. The hubby and I took a trip to Vegas. We didn't get to spend it with the familia. It was a hard choice, but we did it to be able to relax and de-stress. It's just been too chaotic for me at work and being home with everyone just didn't seem relaxing. We also did it because we figured I'd probably ovulate around that time. Which I wasn't wrong! We've actually done the baby dance daily. And yesterday my OPK read positive,

so we're still going at it. I'm also charting my temp on fertilityfriend.com. The more I use the site the more I understand my cycle. It's really quite educational. I really, REALLY, REALLY think it's a matter of time before I get my BFP... Can't wait. On other news, remember how I told you my sis was pregnant a while back? Well, she's already showing! She looks adorable! Thank God, I got over not being able to talk about it. She deserves me to be happy for her and I am. :) Well, I was checking to see when I should test for my BFP and I think it's probably gonna be at least 10 days past ovulation.... ughh it's gonna be HARD! I wanna test NOW! Hahahah... I know that's impossible. Well, that's my update for ya. Have a wonderful night... and if I don't post in a while a wonderful Holiday season! Yay! My favorite time of the year!!!

Time Flies...

It's mid november already and I feel like Halloween wasn't even here!But it was and times a ticking'. LOL. Well, let me tell you, I followed my docs prescription for Metformin and it worked. Though I admit during the second week I wanted to give it up and throw it out the window. I just felt so blah when I upped the dose. BUT I stuck with it and mid october it hit me... I was ovulating. I could tell too. It's TMI, but I figure if you're reading this you a. are interested or b. have pcos and could use this information. Any who, I was seriously wet. Which made me realize that the Metformin worked. On a side note, I decided to stop taking all other supplements so that I could see the true function of met. I'm glad I did. I also noticed that while taking supplements and met I wasn't losing weight. In fact I felt bloated. Took myself off the supplements and once again I was regular. Weird, how my body responds. Any who, I really wish we would've taken full advantage of the signs because I'd probably be pregnant, but we didn't know what was going on. It was too different. So, a couple weeks went by and my body began feeling tired and my breasts were just so sore... painful even. I didn't think I was pregnant, but I tested and it came up negative. But I knew AF was coming and yup last Monday it came. It was so heavy the first two days, but gradually became lighter until it was gone. Yesterday was my last day. Funny how some women take AF for granted and us women with PCOS see it like such a great gift. I'm so grateful I'm slowly recovering my womanhood. I feel great. Now it's time to get with it and really pin point that perfect moment to get us pregnant! I hope it's as obvious as it was last month. I already warned the hubs... lol. I would love to know that soon, very soon, very very soon we'll have our little person with us. It's just a matter of time now :) 2012 is going to be a great year. I can sense it. But in the meantime I'm going to enjoy my regained health and keep on losing the fat. Which reminds me... on 1-1-11 I did a list of "Goals, Dreams, Resolutions" and a few have come true. For example I aimed to lose 60# and I have! I didn't even remember that, but I had a note on my phone which I wrote back then. I also aimed to get my period again and I did! Twice! Which would be awful for others, but slowly they're getting closer and closer :) I also asked that my sis and her boyfriend would get engaged and not only did they do that, but they actually got married. Other things were to walk a mile a day which I've done and make healthier food choices which I've done, and go back to school and FINISH a class... which I'm doing. I really am proud of myself. I've accomplished so much this year. I know next year we'll be just as awesome and achievement filled :) YAY!
