Let the fun begin!!

I woke up this morning and took my temp as usual. It went down again and I thought to myself AF should definitely be here tomorrow morning. Well once I head to the bathroom I noticed oh AF is here?? So weird, first I normally have some pretty intense cramps a day or two before she arrives, but nothing at all, and second my boobs are usually not sore any more, but still are. Weird but oh well, I was just happy she has finally arrived after a 39 day cycle. I have not had a cycle this long in about 2 years.
Since we have decided that we were going to start ttc again the first thing I did on my way to work this morning was call my RE to schedule an appointment to come in for a baseline cyst check u/s. Luckily for me, they were able to squeeze me in today, so I didn't have to sit and let my mind wonder if I was actually going to be able to start this cycle with meds or not.
Thankfully, I have NO CYSTS!!!!! And they got two new nurses that were awesome they were so nice and so much more friendly than the old one who used to do all the u/s. I have a good feeling about all this, but I am still cautiously optimistic about it all actually working and finally have me dreams come true of holding a little precious baby in my arms.

Update on Ovulation...

Well, it looks like I have FINALLY ovulated. Extreemly late for me, but at least I did. It seems I ovulated cd 25. Which is fine with me, we have a vacation coming up so I am glad that we will still be able to try with the Doctor this next cycle, and I will spend the first week of the two week wait (tww) on vacation. So, hopefully being on vacation will make the wait go by a lot faster than it normally does.
Since af should be here in about a week and a half I am going to realx and try not to think about ttc at all. Since, I know I am not going to be pregnant this cycle since we didn't bd around ovulation. I am going to enjoy the next week before the crazy ride of meds and shots start. The emotional rollercoaster is not sounding too much fun. However, since I know what I am getting myself into I am hoping it will be a lot easier this time to deal with it all. I had a nice 5 month break of meds, and I am ready to be crazy Sheena again!

Please work with me body... PLEASE!!!!!

Well, we went to back to the doctor last week, and spoke to him about what our next step should be. The Dr went over a blood test they had given last time we were in his office. The blood draw was to test my insulin levels they came back in the normal range but high normal, so we decided that we will try Metformin to see if that regulates my hormones and everything. From what I have read this could help me get pregnant! Then we got into the good stuff...the meds. We decided to stay around the same track as before, femara and injections. But this time, we are going to do femara cycle days(cd) 3 thru 7 but add the follistim injections those same days and add another type of injection Menupor on cd 8 and 10, then the trigger shot and IUI. I am hoping with the extra meds it does the trick and bing, bang, bomb we are pregnant. We are all ready to get started we are just waiting for my period to get here so we can start. Which brings me to my WONDERFUL body.
We have been on our little ttc break since October every month I have ovulated anywhere from cd 16-19. Well of course this month since I am ready to start trying again my body doesnt want to ovulate! WTF! So now on cd 23 I still dont think I have ovulated..bummber. I would really just love for aunt flow to get here so we can start trying again. I am just getting really frustrated that my body will never just go with the flow and do what it's supposed to.
