03-1-2010 - Update and such

My mood while writing this blog: neutral

So most of you follow my posts on the TTCAL forum but for those who dont (and really for my own records) I wanted to write an update on all things in my TTC life. So to start off I have been tracking my cycle for a few months now and kinda have a good idea of what to expect now. My last cycle had a luteal phase of only 9 days! And the one before that only 11 days. Because of this luteal phase defect I was able to convince my dr to refer me to an REI. It was not easy and the process of just getting the appointment was a pain but I got it done and went to meet and consult with my new dr on the 30th. She is really sweet and I like her a lot. She seems to know what to do and has a pretty good game plan. So since I was already on CD28 and 4DPO there werent any tests to do. She told me that DH has to give a semen sample and we still need to pull his chromosones to match with mine. She did a pap and pelvic and breast exam... been a while since I had all that done... wooosh! Nothing like having a giant q tip rammed up into your cervix! Though I will say she did really good with the speculum... I am usually really sensitive and I hardly felt that. Also if I dont get a BFP this cycle I will be going in for testing on CD3 for progesterone, estridol, testosterone, LH, FSH, TSH, Prolactin and cardiolipin IgG,IgM. She also wants me to go in for a pelvic ultrasound... it will be both TV and TA.

So I have been checking my FF chart over and over and comapring to everyone and just reading into every little thing... I actually forgot what it was like to TTC and live through a 2WW! I mean how rediculous do we get during these times??? I just took an OPK just to see what it would be. IDK whats wrong with me! FYI it was darker than my last OPK but not possitive. Probably means nothing but I am retarded and couldnt not POAS, no matter what kind of stick! Today I am 8DPO my temps have been on a downward turn lately but not dipped below the coverline yet. I want to hold out a little hope just in case. The dr told me that if I get a possitive I will be put on progesterone, but not before getting a BFP. Since my last cycle had an LP of 9 days I plan on testing on Tuesday, the 5th which will be 10DPO assuming my temps dont plummet before then. I only have to wait two days but its horrendous!!!! hence the peeing on an OPK for no reason at all!

So thats it.... thats my update for now... tick tock tick tock... man waiting sucks!!!
