AF, where are you?
For the love of God--just get here already! I am so, so ready to start this next cycle, and all I get is this damned spotting. I am sick of living on pins and needles! AARRGGHH!
I am excited for you to start...just when I wanted to start again my cycle went from my standard 28 days to 32 days? Go figure? Thats just life's little way of keeping you alert!! Don't ya love it?! I'll keep checking on you for the lovely DAY ONE!
7/06 - After 3 months and no period, see OB. She puts me on progesterone to see if my body starts to "work itself out."
11/06 - Work itself out? Ha! OB finally caves and performs all sorts of blood tests on DH and me. All tests, including HSG, are normal. I am diagnosed with PCOS and start 50 mg Clomid. No ovulation.
2/07 - I try 100 mg Clomid. Ovulation on CD18, BFN. In the meantime, I see an RE for a second opinion.
4/07 - RE starts me on Metformin. One of these days my eggs will shape up and work like they should...
6-07 - Cycle #1 Femara - BFP!
11-07 - We find out our son has no bladder or kidneys - a lethal malformation - and decide to terminate the pregnancy at 20 weeks. Zachary Andrew is stillborn on Nov. 7.
1/08 - During rest cycle before treatment, BFP!
10/08 - Our baby boy Tyler is born
11/10 - Start TTC #2 the old-fashioned way
3/11 - After seeing my RE again, find out I have Hashimoto's Disease (hypothyroidism). Must stop TTC and get thyroid straightened out.
9/11 - Finally get approved to start TTC again. Currently on Cycle #1 of letrozole.

I hope she shows up soon so you can get on with things!
Hope AF shows up soon!
Why does it never show up when you want it to?

Oh, that kind of wait is infuriating! Come on, AF, get this show on the road!
Mine pulled the same shenanigans this month...argh!
