I took my Letrozole from CD3-7, and started my OPK's on CD 11. I bought some cheapies from Ebay, because I was going to be testing twice a day, all the way until CD35, or so, trying to get a positive OPK! And well $36 for 20 clear blue tests is just spendy to be doing twice a day, for that long of a period!!
So, they arrived in 2 days, and I was so thrilled!! I started testing with the cheapies, and did not get any type of line, then tested a couple more days, and then one morning, I said to myself....I need to do a clear blue today. They are obviously much easier to read, as it will be a smiley face, or no smiley face!
It was CD15....So after I wake up, I go to the bathroom, pee in my cup, dip the stick, same routine....Wait around while it is flashing, and loading the results....
Then BAM....Smiley face appears!!!! It was like an instant magnet to my face!! I swear I was smiling ear to ear!! I was beyond excited!!!
I go into the living room, where my husband is watching TV, hand him the test with a ridiculously big smile on my face. He doesn't quite get it at first, then realizes, and gives me a big smile, and tells me congratulations baby. I said babe......we HAVE to do it!! I don't care if I am late to work!! And well then, I'm sure you know where it went from there!! And, I certainly was late for work!! Oops. ;) But I have never, and will never put work before starting my family!
That was last Wednesday. July 23rd. It was a great day! I have since been feeling flutter feelings near my uterus, almost like a muscle moving, or a sensation, I am not sure what it is, or how to explain it!! I have also been having some cramping from my ovary! Yay, my ovaries are actually working!!! I am just so happy that I am functioning this cycle!! I have never felt any of these feelings, and I KNOW that is a good thing!!
I also realized I missed my therapist appointment...It has been 5 or 6 weeks since I have seen her. Some days are a little hard, but I think I am really really at a good point! I didn't even notice I missed my appoint until like 2 weeks after I missed it!! That makes me feel good that I am not needing that right now at this point!!
So, fast forward to today!! 1 week after my positive OPK....Progesterone test day.......The day I love, but the day I dread! I have really horrible veins!! They can either not tell which direction it is going, or can't feel it, or are just not very smart!! So today I get off work super early, at 7am..The lab opens at 8...I can go and wait until they open, and be one of the first ones they see...But then I decided that wont be the best idea, as I don't want to be the first one they see, since I have horrible veins as it is, I want to make sure they are FULLY awake before poking me....May seem kinda silly, but its true!! I know how I am when I take my first couple phone calls of the morning. ;)
I decided to go wash my car, and kill some time...I go in and sit in the chair, she feels around on one arm, doesn't feel much, then goes to the other arm, doesn't feel much, and then goes back to the first arm.....She was attempting to feel the top of my hand...no no no. That is a no touch zone. I tell her which vein they get it from, if they can't get it from the preferred vein...She then proceeds to get it from the one I told her. Man, I really hate needles!! And it was like this time, she was not holding it right, and it took FOREVER to take the blood out, it was horrible. Maybe I am just over exaggerating, but ugh!!
So this was about 9:45am this morning. I anxiously waited until 4:30pm to call about my results....The results were in.....
(Insert drum roll here)
My progesterone level is 13.4!!! Can you believe that?!?! 13.4!!!! I was smiling ear to ear!! I said thank you, with the most happy, giddy tone, and the nurse on the other end could DEFINITELY hear how happy I was!! So then I tell my husband, He gives me a nice firm hug, with a kiss, and rubs my belly! <3 Gosh I love that man!! I cannot wait until I am pregnant, because I really love how he has been rubbing my belly!
I truly feel this is our time. I am anxiously waiting one more week to take a pregnancy test!! Please, Please, everyone keep praying for us, and keep us in your most happy thoughts!!
I have been eating MUCH healthier, and going on walks, and just in a much better mood, and feeling very hopeful, and positive!! I feel this is the time. This is the cycle. It is our turn now! :)
