Waiting and thinking

God I forget how much I hate waiting when it comes to making a baby. I am on day 7 of my provera and feel nothing. No signs that AF is on the way. I can't really remember how long it would take for provera to work?? The nurse told me it can take up to 2 weeks from the last pill. I started the pill on CD 36!!! I also am getting along fine with the Metformin. Today I will start taking 2 pills at lunch rather than one. My goal is to work up to 4 pills a day. The first couple of days it ripped up my stomach but now it seems OK.

I was chatting with a fellow former infertile. She how has a daughter who is 2 but it took her 5 IUI attempts before she got her BFP. She mentioned that her husband had withheld information from her about a co-workers wife being pregnant because "He knew she would get upset." Its funny that we really never get over being infertile. It still drives me nuts to hear of a women who gets pregnant on the first month of trying. WHY is it so easy for some and so hard for others? Why am I still jealous of these women. Even then I first had Paige and didn't think i would try for #2 I would still get pissed. Another thing that pisses me off is people who know its difficult for me to get pregnant and ask "So when are you having another?" Like i can just go to the store and order another??? I guess they assume that since I had one it will be very easy for me to have another. Guess again honey I have to get back on the roller coaster and ride the wave......now its just different because I have a 19month old to care for as well.

Aughh here's to hoping we have some success very soon:)

We have a plan

Well we had our appointment with Dr. S yesterday and we are off and running. I had bloods drawn to confirm I am not preggo (HA) and I will start provera this morning once I hear from them to bring on my period (cycle day 36 with nothing-WONDERFUL). He wants me to try Metformin daily and then once I get my period I will do Femara cycle days 3-7. We will do the procedure with the dies between cycle day 6-12 and will also start with US on day 12 to monitor.
I am a little concerned with the Metformin......he said it can be upsetting to my stomach and I need to start out slow and only take the meds at lunch to see how I do. Has anyone used this med and had negative experiences with it?

Overall I am excited that we are really trying to give Paige a sibling and I am praying we have success. It is such a different feeling walking back into that office all over again. The learning curve is gone and I have allot less anxiety with the process.

Paige is sick!!! She had the flu shot Tuesday and started running a fever with cold symptoms Saturday. I took her into the ped yesterday and its apparently viral. Motrin/Tylenol seems to keep it under control but this morning she woke up with a 102.9 and was BURNING UP. My poor baby. I still really struggle with anxiety about her health. I am so afraid something bad will happen to her. I am hoping she breaks the fever today, if not we go back to the doctor tomorrow.
