I'm not pregnant. I spotted most of my vacation and then started the day I got back. I wasn't sad, though. I took two pregnancy tests on vacation. I thought it would be great to find out I was pregnant while on vacation. Maybe do one of those cute announcements "Vacation-$2,000, Souvenir- $15, The fact that there are three people in this picture- Priceless." But it's okay. I really am okay. I even thought for a little that maybe we shouldn't keep trying. Maybe we should just be us for a little while. Who knows.
I'm getting my day 21 progesterone level drawn this month-- on the 10th actually. It's a Saturday, but CBH has a 24 hour lab. Hopefully it will show that I do in fact have low progesterone and that will start the right treatment. The Metformin is working and it isn't making me as sick. So that's a plus. The doctor said I might start on Clomid in January if I'm not pregnant when I see her. But we will see if the progesterone level changes our plan.
Either way, I'm okay. I really am. I can wait. The days don't seem as long anymore. The weeks don't seem as hard. I'm okay to be patient. And I'm not even praying for a distraction.

Early Ovulation Celebration
My medicine is working!! I ovulated on day 12. I usually ovulate on day 16-18 so I'm ovulating a whole week early! Here is proof:
Saturday, November 5th (Day 12)
The Metformin was making me really nauseous, so while we didn't "try" on that day, we did the very next morning. I think it's okay since I took the test at around 9:00 p.m. and we woke up the next day around 8:00 a.m. I finally broke down and called the doctor about my medicine. I was just miserable with nausea. The nurse suggested I take 1 750 mg pill in the morning and one in the evening. Since I've been doing this (2 days) things are much better!
Today I noticed some very slight pink CM when I went to the bathroom (possible implantation bleeding?) and my breasts are really sore. They are usually sore the week before my period, so maybe I'm going to have a shorter cycle and thus-- they're sore. Who knows! Either way, I'd rather document it then forget it.
We go on a vacation next week, and then a couple of days after I get back I'll know whether we successfully made a baby! Can't wait-- for both vacation AND a potential baby!!

Unworried and Waiting
I'm not worrying much lately about whether to have a baby or not lately. I just feel peaceful, like it will happen when it happens. My bloodwork came back and it's only borderline for PCOS. So maybe I don't have it really, or maybe I just have it a little. I'm still on Metformin. It really sucked at first. I was sick to my stomach at first, then I was just not hungry at all and I lost my appetite. It's kind of back to normal now. I need to start eating better. I was at first, now I'm just eating healthier. I'm going back in January and if I'm not pregnant by then I might start on Clomid. I'm just supposed to track my cycles and use ovulation kits.
So far I've had two negative ovulation tests. I'm only on day 10 though, and I usually ovulate late. I'm confident that things will work out perfectly-- just as God has planned.
