<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hey Everyone, </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey Day! I know I did. It was absolutely wonderful with all the people I love. I stuffed my self nice and full with Turkey and all the Thanksgiving Day fixings'. I hope you all did the same. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As for me I am nearing the ned of my 2 week wait. I am currently 14 DPO and tomorrow and as of right now I still really haven't noticed much. I told you last week after my husband and I did the baby dance I had some spotting. Since then I haven't had any more spotting and I still haven't started my period. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Things I have noticed... My breasts have been super sensitive... I haven't had any kind of morning sickness or anything like that as of yet. I have had really bad heart burn at times off and on. I have also had some really weird breaking out on my face. I don't typically break out on my face unless its that time of the month right before I start my period. This is different. Its all along the side of my face and on my chin. I actually thought it might have been a rash but my husband said that it looks more like a break out then a rash. So who knows. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Like I said before I am not chalking up anything right now. It's a bit early for assumptions yet. Although I would be lying to you if I said I didn't want this to happen so bad. I can't even begin to tell you! I know there are a lot of you in the same boat as me and struggling with the whole pregnancy thing. It's the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Oh, and another thing I have noticed. I have been having tons of clear "discharge". It almost looks like ovulation cervical mucus. I was talking to my friend about it and she said that it could be semen. Really?? Can semen sluff off like that?? I didn't really think about that. Anyways, those bad boys need to keep swimming damn it LOL ! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well anyways, wishing everyone a Happy Holiday's! And a happy 2 week waiting and happy bfp. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">XXOO,</span></div>

Symptoms... And more...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Howdy Ya'll! Is everyone getting ready to scarf some turkey and go in to major food coma's for like two days? You don't gotta lie, you know you eat turkey and all the fixings for two days. :) We do! I have no shame in my game! HAHA! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As of today I am 9 DPO at the current moment. I haven't tested yet. I want to wait to miss my period first before I take a test. Here's a little TMI for you. November 23rd, Husband and I were doing the dance and I got a bad cramp. Didn't think much of it continued on going... Once we were finished dancing I went to the bathroom and cleaned up. When I wiped I had LIGHT pink spotting. I thought my period was coming. I got really bummed. I went about my day was prepared to start my period... and nothing after that... We danced again the next day and normally if I were going to start having sex definitely would have triggered it and NOTHING... Still today... November 25 and still nothing. I am so keeping my fingers crossed that this is the month. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Some recent symptoms I have had...</span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Heart Burn</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Constipated</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been itchy everywhere</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">my sex drive is out of control</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">my back has been hurting</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been really sleepy</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I got in the shower tonight... and like a ton of bricks I got super nauseated. I have been super nauseated for the passed hour... Sex drive is still going strong. HAHA </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So fingers crossed that this is the month! I have been praying so hard for this! Hoping you all are getting your BFP's and are at least enjoying doing the dance. Saying a prayer for all you ladies out there trying to get pregnant! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>

As I sit here at my desk enjoying some of the cooler weather that California is deciding to give us. I find my self wondering if I might be pregnant or not. It's hard to not think about how wonderful it would be to be pregnant with our beautiful baby. It would be such a wonderful gift for this Christmas. I would love to do something totally adorable tell my parents that they are going to be Grandparents. What an awesome Christmas gift to me and Josh and not only to the rest of our family.<br />
<br />
Then on the other hand, I think about how this just could be another set up for another let down. I don't look forward to doing pregnancy tests for the blow of the answer that it might not be anything. Its just a bitter sweet feeling I have when going through the two week wait. I sometimes don't understand how these young girls can "accidentally" get pregnant or these girls could have a one night stand and get pregnant or people who have multiple children and can't even take care of one of them. Yet, their are two people who love each other unconditionally who would love to be a mommy or daddy to a beautiful little boy to little girl.<br />
<br />
Anyways, enough of the sad stuff thats not where I want my mind to be right now. I could sit here and dwell and think how I might not be or how I might be. However, until I am going to try and not read too much in to it until I have some pretty major symptoms and missed my period... as of right now... I just wait....<br />
<br />
How do you entertain the time and your mind during this time? Its the hardest time of the entire "trying to get pregnant" part. I mean yah you have your period which suck and no one likes bleeding or having use tampons or pads... Bleh. Then you have the ovulation. Trying to get the egg at just the perfect time. At least doing the dance with your man is a little bit fun... But as soon as ovulation has happened... then you have the two week wait... I feel like that is more painful then any of the other hoopla... BLEH<br />
<br />
Well sending baby dust to everyone! And keeping my fingers crossed for all of you out there in your two week wait. Waiting to get your big BFP! <3 Much love! </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hey Cysters, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hows it going for you all... I hope everyone is getting their BFP's tonight. as for me right now... I have just been taking ovulation test after ovulation tests. LOL literally like a bunch of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So far... I have continued to take my fertile aide, Myo- Inositol, Ova Boost, and Fertile CM. I mentioned in my last blog I had started to bleed. I thought I was just starting my period. I was totally convinced thats what it was. It ended up being so weird. I was bleeding basically old blood and then one day I had like red very mucusy (if thats a word) blood and then went back to brown blood again. I had some weird cramping... I stopped taking ovulation tests during that time because I was convinced that it was my period. After thinking about it and seeing the mucus I thought you know what... I should take a ovulation test just to make sure that I wasn't ovulating. Low and be hold. my test had gotten a bunch darker then the ones from the start of the week. I couldn't believe it. It still wasn't positive but it was getting darker. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I continued to take a bunch of tests and tonight I took my tests and I have to say, this is the darkest I have ever seen any of my tests get. I would say tonight I would be positive. We are going to baby dance tonight because I want to catch this egg. No doubt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There you have it folks. The last test on the bottom is my full on positive. I can't believe it. I finally ovulated. Now for the wait... now... to see if I am pregnant in 2-3 weeks. Longest weeks of my life is this whole waiting gig. Fingers crossed ladies. I really have high hopes for this month and I really hope that I am not going to be disappointed like all the times before. I would really love to get my BFP. It would be an awesome christmas present to the immediate family for sure. I would love to do something super cute to let them know we are pregnant. :) Anyways, thats just thinking a little to far ahead. Lets just wait and see how the next two weeks go and maybe I will have some awesome news for you all... I wishing you all BFP's and know that I have my fingers crossed for all of you out there struggling and trying to have a family. Post your OPK's in the comment box below I love seeing everyones progress... Love ya all! </span></div>

Very Very Interesting... Maybe a Little TMI<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I just had something very very strange happen. Not entirely sure what the heck is going on. Anyway this might get a little graphic and a little TMI. So cover your ears and close your eyes if you don't want to read weird girl problem ish. LOL<br />
<br />
Anyways, On the 9th I thought I started my period again. I started to bleed old brown blood for a day and then had I started bleeding red blood. It wasn't a lot. I didn't need a pad. However, when I wiped it was there. Here we are on the 12th and I haven't bled or anything all day... I go to the bathroom and I wipe and there was a little bit of brown blood with a little bit of red blood along with a whole bunch of cervical mucus.<br />
<br />
Natually, I had kind of given up on this month because I had started bleeding. I didn't think much of it so I hadn't been taking my ovulation tests. I don't know if I am having implantation bleeding or if I am having ovulation bleeding or what. I am trying to suck down enough water to take a test to see if I get a positive ovulation test... Who knows! I would love to be ovulating right now. Even better I would love to be pregnant. So who knows! :)<br />
<br />
Keeping my fingers crossed for all the possibilities right now. I would gladly and happily take being pregnant right now. :) So I am just going to go with it for now. :) Figures crossed for all you out there doing the dance and doing what you gotta do to have a little one :) Enjoy!<br />

Hey Guys,<br />
<br />
So I have been taking my vitamins for about 2 weeks now. My period has completely stopped and so far things seem like they are going back to normal. At least thats what I am hoping for. That would be simply amazing is all I have to say about that. I want to say this, I have felt so amazing since starting the FertilAid, Myo-Inositol, OvaBoost, and Fertile Cm. Since starting these vitamins I have seen a huge change just in 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
So I have been taking the ovulation test since the last day of my period. I haven't had a positive ovulation test yet. Although I recently learned that women with PCOS can ovulate way later in to their cycle. I didn't know that. Although, this doesn't surprise me because the rest of our bodies are out of wack why wouldn't this be too LOL. I plan to continue taking the tests until I get a positive OPK.<br />
<br />

Here are the few digitals that I have taken. I have taken a total of 4 but I took one and it didn't read it correctly my little thing showed a book instead of a smiley face LOL so I tossed that test! So far these are really pretty faint. I have also heard that these don't really show the progression on these the same way the little wands I used above. Basically I am just using the digitals to confirm ovulation. </div>

<span style="color: red;">So I thought I would post these as well... These are from tonight. The bottom one is from my digital and that is the darkest one thus far I have gotten (It's a lot darker in person believe it or not) and for whatever reason small wand I think was a bust. It didn't even show a second line... and the control line was all deformed and what not... It was strange so I just chucked that one out because I don't think it took... All my other ones have been getting darker as the days go by. Reminder I am not even in my ovulation window. Because I have PCOS I start testing right after my period. I am about to be in my window in ONE day... SO they should be getting considerably darker soon! YAY! Just wanted to update you all! Night Night Folks! </span></div>

High Hopes For This...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Day 3. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So this is day 3 of Myo-Inositol, FertileAid, OvaBoost, and FertileCM. I had pretty much been shedding old brown blood for about a month and then on October 23rd I actually started shedding regular period blood. I guess this was me starting my period. Not really entirely sure. Since it was red blood I counted it as my first day of my period. Its been just about 5 days and finally this evening it seems as though it may be tapering off.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I will say this, it is a lot of vitamins to be taking in one day. I am just praying they are making some sort of difference in me right now. I would love nothing more to try this month and hope for a possible pregnancy. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It has just been hard the past couple months. It would be nice to be able to have something be normal for once. LIKE MY PERIOD... No pun intended HAHAH! I know my husband and I would love nothing more then to have a baby. I know he would make the perfect father. I want him to be a daddy. I know he would be amazing. I see him with our nieces and nephews and he's perfect with them. I know with our children it would be another story. I want to be able to take pictures with our baby. I would love to share the beauty of our holiday spirit. I would love more then anything to give my parents the joy of having a beautiful grandson or daughter. I just have such high hopes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am just going to keep hoping for the best and taking these pills. I would love to see a drastic change. As of right now, things are looking promising and if they keep going this way... I will be starting ovulation tests... If I can go one day with out bleeding then I will start the ovulation tests the next day. I will keep you all posted and I am sure I will be posting my ovulation test once we start seeing double lines. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Fingers Crossed Ladies... And my fingers are crossed for you all out there struggling the struggle with me. XXOO! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Alright, so I had a mild break down the other day when I last posted. I have been quite frustrated with all that has been going with me and my PCOS. I felt like I was giving up on my PCOS, my husband,and my hopes of having a baby. I gave this a lot of thought and realized that I didn't want to give up my dreams of having a baby and giving up the hope for my husband to have a baby. I know he wants to be a daddy and I know more then anything I want to be a mother. This is not the time for quitters and not the time for giving up on anyone. We have come this far and we have been through so much and we love each other and I am going to keep trucking on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So with that said, and now with the new mind set comes a new plan. I have been having some prolonged bleeding. Let me just say this... this is not the business of PCOS I tell you. I have never felt more uncomfortable in my life. It is just freaking constant. The only time I get some kind of relief is when I am laying down and resting. Other then that, during the time that I am active and moving around and running errands and what not (living my life) I feel like I am freaking Niagara Freaking Falls. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><i>My last period August 29th-September 5th </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><i>since then I have been having brownish bleeding/spotting till about 4 days ago (October 23rd)I started my period (I guess if thats what you want to call it)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been taking a double dose of iron (so I wouldn't feel lethargic from all the bleeding) and vitamin D. Hasn't really lightened my period any. Just made it a little more tolerable I guess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I did a lot of research and tons of reading of what I could do naturally that would help with not only my PCOS symptoms but as well as help me achieve a healthy pregnancy. I also have checked with my doctor and spoken with her to see what might be right for me. Though what might be right for me maybe different for someone else. I do not have a regular period and have a hard time ovulating. I belong to a couple of Facebook groups that are pertaining to PCOS and talked to many women and have done my own research on many of the things I am going to be discussing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been trying to eat healthy for about 6 months now and it has just not been cutting it. I have been trying to loose weight for some time and NOTHING is working. I have taken the plunge that many women have... I have decided to go paleo. What is paleo you ask?? Well its "a diet based on types of food presumed to have been eaten by early humans, consisting of meat, fish, veggies, and fruit and excluding dairy, grains products and processed foods."-google It has been a hard change but one for the better. I haven't given up dairy because I don't indulge in a lot of dairy as is. I am a non-milk drinker so I have decided that having yogurt is an okay source for me. I do not have it daily but more as a treat because it is on the sweeter side. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So while I am watching what I am eating and trying to exercise a bit more. My husband and I are going to start walking nightly on the nights that he's home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Along with that, since I am not going to be seeing by my doctor till November I have decided to try a few more natural and herbal choices. Now, just a reminder I have discussed and been in contact with my doctor and she knows what I am doing and the choices I have decided to make. She has okayed them all prior and I advise any of you to do the same if you are in the same predicament. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJREOep9FBOl6L2q87dVmX0eeCzyiUgb9d7pTaE1Pr_Az3e_3huWbOk47akCdacR1xppSTXB_NkVHF2ZjIUpgaw0Dj_N7-XuqLYcjYOaVQLZeK8JYx7IxCXhI91AFUNGILKEoMYWmbNzGD/s1600/myo-inositol-35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJREOep9FBOl6L2q87dVmX0eeCzyiUgb9d7pTaE1Pr_Az3e_3huWbOk47akCdacR1xppSTXB_NkVHF2ZjIUpgaw0Dj_N7-XuqLYcjYOaVQLZeK8JYx7IxCXhI91AFUNGILKEoMYWmbNzGD/s1600/myo-inositol-35.jpg" height="400" width="363" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The first one I have decided to try was Myo-Inositol. It is a naturally occurring substance belonging to the B complex family of vitamins by acting as an insulin-sensitizing agent. It helps promote proper hormone balance, ovarian function, egg quality, menstrual cycle regularity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Myo-Inositol maybe be particularly helpful with women who suffer with PCOS. This also may be taken with Ova-boost. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvD4OL-JAxLKbabD8qdILB7rCT_r7SduWnWPlBFL4VkEP_5mEvf_jnfngM_CUlvcTckA_UwO9QmDNdjVRXMOfVz4JfYY3my-kFkcBfJ9HqZKn6ljS-moDbaRttanEJytzzKKk0UhGeLbHX/s1600/yhst-10669596438250_2269_8878425.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvD4OL-JAxLKbabD8qdILB7rCT_r7SduWnWPlBFL4VkEP_5mEvf_jnfngM_CUlvcTckA_UwO9QmDNdjVRXMOfVz4JfYY3my-kFkcBfJ9HqZKn6ljS-moDbaRttanEJytzzKKk0UhGeLbHX/s1600/yhst-10669596438250_2269_8878425.jpg" height="400" width="264" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So along with the Myo I am taking the OvaBoost. This is a natural formula that promotes egg quality and ovarian function. This formula also contains Myo-Inositol as well. Women who are suffering from PCOS have found that the extra boost in the Myo helps with regularity of their period. It is highly recommended for women with PCOS to take this fallowed with the Myo. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is another gem that I found that I thought I should be taking as well. I know this all seems like a lot to take but I am hoping that all this will be worth it in the end. Anything is worth it if the outcome is a little baby in my tummy and in my arms at the end of this road. Anyways, Fertile CM is designed to improve cervical mucus quantity and quality to help you conceive. This is a vital part of trying to have a baby. Let's be real ladies some women who have PCOS do not get a good production of cervical mucus. I don't really have a problem in that department but I am going to take it anyways because I feel it couldn't hurt at this point. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is a fertility supplement to promote hormone balance and help you conceive. I know for me, right now my hormones are so out of wack and I know anything at this point couldn't hurt. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Right now these are the 4 natural remedies I am going to try before my doctors appointment in November and see if I notice a change in my self and or my period regularity. I would love for this to help and do something naturally... Ladies, any of you wonderful women out there who have tried these supplements... let me know how they worked for you in the comments below. I would love to hear from you and see what you thought about them? What are you doing to get a more healthier you? What are you doing to get your fertility back on track to achieve a healthy pregnancy? Well ladies, I am going to bed because it is late and my eyes are seriously almost shut at this point. Good Evening Lovies! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">God, sometimes I swear. I feel like I just get so frustrated with this stuff. Right now I am having a super prolonged period. Its been going for about a month. I am just seriously sick of it. For a few weeks its just been this brownish old looking blood. Now, its full on red bright blood. YAY! I have been struggling with the worst headaches the last couple days. I don't typically struggle with headaches either but for the last couple of days, man this headache has just been the death of me. I just want to have a baby... I just want to have a NORMAL period. I don't know why things just can't get normal. It just seriously puts me in the foulest mood. I wish I had more positive things to day today. I just don't. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am sick and tired of bleeding days on end. And excuse me if this take this blog off the charts but it would be nice to be able to have some "time" with my husband if you know what I mean. I would really like to live a normal life. Geez! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Right now, I am sitting here in my bedroom and I would rather stay up in my bedroom and just sit here then even think about leaving the house. UHG! Why do we have to feel this way and why does this have to be so freaking miserable. I am supposed to see my doctor but not for another 2 weeks. Just wish I could get in to see her so she would finally change my meds.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I feel like my time clock is ticking and my husband is going to be 40 in two years. I really would just like to be able to have a baby soon. Really Really SOON! Nothing like feeling your time clock ticking and feeling like having a baby isn't going to happen. Uhg... I might just sit here and cry! UHG!!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well anyways I think I am done with this blog post today. Hopefully I will be back with something a little more positive. Hope you all are having a better day then I am! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well it's been a while since I have written a post in here... There has been so much going on lately that TTC has been honestly put on the back burner. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">First of all at the end of August my husband and I moved in to our new home. Which has taken up a bunch of our time. Then the whole unpacking and getting your house organized the way you want it and the boxes... oh the boxes... they have been everywhere for weeks on end. Seriously. We have just finished unloading the boxes around this house and we still don't even have a kitchen table. Our other place wasn't even close to as big as the place we have moved in to. We didn't have room for a kitchen table. LOL So we didn't have one! So, now we are trying to figure out a table for our kitchen area. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Amongst all this going on, my husband had recently started a new 4 week job which was literally kicking his butt on top of moving and having to move boxes up and down our new 2 story house. He wasn't having it. Really the only time things got accomplished was during the weekends when he had more then 6 hours of sleep. Then after his 4 week job was up, he started another physically draining job that is more long term. For those of you wondering. My husband is a plumber for a union. so when the job is done and over with they move you on to another job. Hense why all the new job placements. This job now is so physically demanding and its strictly outside. We live in California and the weather STILL hasn't cooled down. Have I mentioned that its OCTOBER. Seriously... Let the RAIN COME already. We are ready for fall. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So as if this wasn't chaotic enough to deal with. I have been dealing with this hellish PCOS crap on the regular. My symptoms have been crazy out of control. I am super uncomfortable and been having bleeding again, and tons of clotting. Yah I know super amounts of fun. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We have just been so tired and exhausted over here that we just honestly haven't had the chance to do the baby dance. Well we have... but I hardly think it even counted as anything. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been contemplating weather or not I have wanted to post this on here or not. My family and I recently learned some very devastating news. I recently lost my Aunt. She had been sick for sometime. She was just too young!!! My aunt has been battling many ailments and illnesses for about 3 years now, and sadly her body just couldn't keep up any longer. Friday is her funeral and I am already hormonal so I am going to be worse come Friday. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So needless to say it has been a hell of a few months. I am praying and hoping for things to slow down and cool down for a while so that we can catch back up. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here are some updates as of late... Since the last time we had talked... I had been to the OBGYN... this was the visit where she prescribed me Metaformin. I noticed right away the changes it was making in my body. I started loosing a bit of weight. But the pill it self made me sicker then shit. I literally couldn't eat anything with out it making me sick to my stomach and run to the bathroom. I then made another Dr. appointment with my doctor. This time not really for an exam but more like a little chit chat. She ended up taking me off the Metaformin and has now prescribed me provera. I am so irregular and my periods will go from 3-4 months with no period at all to seriously bleeding for almost 3-4 weeks long. Accompanied by tons of cramping and really bad blood clots. It has been highly entertaining. Also extremely painful. I haven't yet started the provera as of yet... She wants me to try the provera by it's self but if I am still finding that I am not ovulating she is going to have me do chlomid along with it. YAY! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In the mean time I have decided that I am going to try some fertility supplements. Along with the oils I have been using by DoTerra. I have only used fertility blend (which I have found didn't work for me at all.) as well as vitex. Vitex did bring on my period after not having it forever and ever. However, it didn't stop after I got it. Which is the problem at hand you see. LOL So I am going to be trying the fallowing fertility supplements. Ovaboost- to help with egg quality. Helps promote healthier eggs. Fertile CM- which helps promote heathy cervical mucus. Which is also a huge thing when trying to conceive. As Well as FertilAid- which is just a fertility supplement for women trying to conceive. I am going to give these a go and see if these make a difference in how I feel and my monthly friend as well. I will also leave a disclaimer on here of how they are working weekly. :) Hopefully a BFP is in the works. I would love to end up a preggo mama:) Fingers Cross for a BIG FAT POSITIVE.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well here's to tackling PCOS and trying to have a mini me. Here's to all you fabulous folks trying to conceive and much baby dust to us ALL! XXOO</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hey to all my cysters! So much has been going on as of lately I can't even begin to put in to words or figure out where to start. Its been a crazy couple of months. Lets start with some things that have happened in the past couple of Months. My husband and I went out to visit our best friends from Utah for our littlest nephews, Lucas' first birthday. We can't even begin to tell you how big he is. He's just been such joy to watch grow and we are so lucky to have been able to be apart of his life. We came home and my best friend and her son came out to California for a couple of weeks. While she was here her husband ended up having some medical issues. My aunt who has been ill for quite some time took a turn and ended up in intensive care. She is now out of intensive care and doing much better thankfully. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My beautiful niece Somer graduated from preschool! She is officially going to be a big kindergartener. I can't believe how time flies and how big she has gotten. My nephew Jaxten turned 3 years old this June. He's getting so big too. Feels like yesterday I was welcoming both of these little characters in to the world. Time just flies. I can't begin to tell you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We also welcomed home NaShay and Kelby and little Lucas back to California. They recently moved backed and we couldn't be happier that they are here with us. Josh and I are planning on moving in the middle of August in to a bit of a bigger home in a near by town. We can't wait. We are so excited for this move and so excited to just get it over with more or less. HAHAH the stress of moving! Honestly, Josh and I haven't even had time to be trying to have a baby recently. We have sort of placed that on the back burner for the time being. We just have so much on our plate at the current moment its hard to be trying to do that as well. Its crazy town! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We have had some very unfortunate news, my husband Josh lost his grandpa just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, he has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It's been a rough road but we honestly couldn't have done any of this with out our family and friends who have loved us through all the hard times and been there to support us through all the good times. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am so sorry that we haven't been posting as much on here. I just wanted to give you all a little update as to where we have been and what has been going on. It has been a lot! I promise you that there will be much more postings on here once we have moved in and gotten settled. Then let the TTC journey begin. It's on folks! Thank you all for your unconditional support through all the ups and downs and sticking around reading my blogs. We will be having more posts come up soon! :)</span><br />

Hey Everyone, I know it has been a while since my last post. We have been out of town for a little while and we just got back. I have been really focusing on my beauty blog because I fell way behind on my blogs and needed to catch up. Now, that I am finally caught up on that blog I can finally catch up on this one. So, here I am... I just wanted to give you a bit of an update. I think the last time I talked to you guys I was still ovulating.<br />
<br />
I finally got my strong positive on the 20th. So naturally we had been *dancing* pretty much the entire week before and a bunch after ovulation. So, now I am approaching the end of my 2 week wait. I have 1 more day left of my two week wait and I probably won't text till after 1 week after my missed period. If Aunt flow hasn't showed her face before then. <br />
<br />
So for the past week I have been having the fallowing symptoms:<br />
Breast Tenderness<br />
Neck Aches<br />
Cramping off and on (could be PMS)<br />
Headaches off and on<br />
Cervical Mucus(lots)<br />
<br />
I couldn't hardly stand it any more so I broke down and tested this morning... However I still had a negative result. I didn't use a 5 days before missed period test. I just used one of the cheapo deluxo test from Wal-Mart. It was still negative. So I am going to wait for a while and test in about a week.<br />
<br />
I have to admit when I finally decided to look at the test, I was a little disappointed. However, I can't even be too disappointed because this was the actual first month where I actually felt like my body was doing something that it was supposed to do. Also, I am still learning a lot about this whole trying to conceive thing. I mean really... This whole having a baby business... It's HARD... Learning what your body is doing and knowing when to test and when to have sex. Its a lot. A lot more then I ever expected.<br />
<br />
So if I start to have any more symptoms I will definitely update again. I am going to be testing sometime next week. So bare with me guys. Long process... Believe me!<br />
<br />
Sending all my baby dust to those of you out there trying to do the same thing I am trying to do. Hopefully you are all getting some BIG FAT POSITIVE pregnancy tests. Off to LA LA land I go. I am so exhausted. Night night! </div>

So thought I would kind of explain my chart. If you look at the 15th and 16th... they are shaded purple. Thats because I started bleeding some. Now, we did the baby dance on the 14th. Started bleeding that night. Bled for about 24 hours or so. Was completely find come the 17th. I thought I had lost all hope. I thought I had started my period only after 11 days. Through the days of bleeding I continued to take ovulation tests. </div>

These are from May 13 - May 15. You could clearly tell I was trying to get there. You could definitely tell that I was actually progressing this time. When I was testing earlier in the week I was pretty much staying right at about the same... It wasn't till after I had some bleeding the other night that I was actually tell my tests were getting some what darker. </div>

Now, the top one is from May 18 and Today. Now I am kinda thinking that the bottom is pretty damn positive. I was thinking I should take a digital one. However, I think I freaking ran out. I am not about to go to the grocery store and buy one at like 1 AM LOL. I just can't believe it. I think I have finally ovulated. Please please please keep your fingers crossed and hope that I can get pregnant. Now off to do the baby dance. </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I feel so defeated at this point...I was seen by my OBGYN probably about a month ago. She told me I had PCOS. I have been struggling with PCOS probably since I was a teen but just didn't know it. I have always had irregular periods and what not. Anyways, during my appointment she told me she wanted me to try some natural ways before she decided to give me some meds to see if we could get my period regulated. So I did what she asked. I got on my prenatal vitamins, and started taking a vitamin D and Iron Pill. So now since I have started those I thought my period was actually starting to regulate. This month I had a 7 day period as apposed to a 19 day period. Ridiculous I know. My cramping was pretty painful but all together wasn't horrible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I finally get to my fertile window. Although my test today was still not quite positive it was the darkest ovulation I have had since I started taking them. The kicker was that I was bleeding pretty heavily. I was having some cervical mucus with it. So I asked on some of my groups to the women who are suffering from PCOS and some of these women said this was quite normal for someone who may have PCOS. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here I am this afternoon just in a rut and feeling pretty lousy about what my body is doing. My husband doesn't get it. I just broke down. I was only on CD 19 which means my period was barely 14 days ago. Really??? I will say this. I am not bleeding near as bad nor as heavy... and my cramping isn't near as invasive as it was the last time. Course I am only on day 1 of this crap. I finally just broke down again this morning and just said I can't take this like this anymore. I need to get this bleeding regulated and under control. My OB said if it got to the point where I felt that nothing was working and I was just uncomfortable to let her know. So I finally broke down and called her this morning and told her I wanted to start the meds now. I just can't go on like this. So I will be being seen again on the 29th. I really can't wait to get these meds started so I can finally start having my life back. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I never realized how debilitating this could be until you have to live like this day in day out. My husband is constantly wanting to go out and hike and I am going to be totally honest with you. I love being out on our adventures. WHO THE HELL WANTS TO HIKE WHEN THEY ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLE AND BLEEDING. Not me. I mean once a month for a day or two to feel like you just want to lay low and relax because your cramping and bleeding is more heavier is NORMAL in my opinion. To have this twice to three times a month its just not fair. I want to be able to enjoy the outdoors and enjoy my husband. So Come the 29th I am praying for a drastic change. I can't wait. Please keep your figures crossed that this shit helps! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I hope all you ladies out there struggling with these PCOS symptoms are feeling better real soon. <3 </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">**Since I started bleeding too heavily I am going to chalk it up that I am not pregnant and I did not ovulate. YAY for my body sucking ASS! *** insert heavy sarcasm here!</span></div>

SIGH... I don't even know where to start this right now. So since yesterday I have been having some spotting. We did the baby dance this morning and last night and since last night I have been having some spotting. I was told this was normal. I am just seriously praying that I don't start my period full on earlier then expected. I have been temping and still taking my ovulation test daily. I really just want aunt flows ugly face to just stay the hell away. So I can ovulate normally and just get this baby making thing on the go! Super frustrated about all this. So fingers crossed.<br />
<br />
Moving on to the ovulation watch. Nothing really hasn't changed really. my temperature spiked a bit today but then again it was hotter then hell by 8 AM. Then I took an ovulation test again and still negative. I am really hoping that it happens really soon!<br />

Well here you have it... These are the ovulation tests since May 5th. I know thats a lot of ovulation tests but I have had to try to test since I have been off my period. I needed to see when exactly I ovulate because I don't know when I do since I have PCOS. Freaking lovely disease. Anyways... this is my ovulation watch as of May 14th. I will get back to you guys in a few days with the ovulation watch as well. Hopefully I will have a positive one come up sooner then later. Hope you guys have a wonderful evening. Goodnight! </div>

Yep, 4 test this morning. I know I know their are 5 tests there but that last test on the bottom was the one I had taken tonight. So yes, 5 test total today! What the hell was I freaking thinking here really?? 5 tests this afternoon. As if I couldn't tell from all of these that they were effin' BIG FAT NEGATIVE. Lets just take one more... DUH! The two top large OPK tests were from the first morning urine... AHHHHEEEMM.... as well as the two bottom cheap tests. HAHA I can't even believe I just admitted this all to you guys. LOL I am a freak show. Really! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tonight when I took the last test I finally thought I noticed the line getting darker but then I wasn't sure because all these lines are freaking confusing. They all look the damn same to me right now. LOL I guess I will really know when the damn thing turns positive and they are as bright as the control line DERR... </div>

Just can't believe my self on how many test I have actually taken today. Tomorrow I won't be taking as many I promise. I will be a good girl and just take one test tomorrow and then another one on tuesday. I will be back to update you again come Tuesday. I figure updating you guys every other day it allows me to collect 2 or 3 ovulation tests and gives me something to talk about. Not sure you guys want a minute to minute update as to what is going on with my ovulation. So I figured this works alright for now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Well its time for this girl to go to bed and tomorrow is another ovulation test day and we shall talk again Tuesday! Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">SIGH... SIGH... I don't know about everyone else but for me... tracking my periods is the hardest thing out of all this. I never know when its going to start when its going to end or when I am going to ovulate. One of the many joys of having PCOS. I just started using a new ovulation tracker on my phone this week. I was using Ovia. However, I felt like it wasn't giving me an accurate ovulation date... The new one I have really allows me to just manually put in when I start and when I end and then it predicts my ovulation of that. **disclaimer** an app on your phone doesn't tell you for sure when your ovulation will occur. This is just a prediction. It helps keep you on track to know what your body is doing. Only you will know for sure when you ovulate. I know I have to take tests starting right after my period ends. Even though I know I am not going to ovulate the day after my period. I just know that I don't have regular periods which probably means I don't ovulate regularly as well. So I just test from that point on and when I get a positive on my cheap ovulation test I will actually take a digital test right after to see if that confirms with the one I just took... And then... Let the baby dancing begin! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> This app is super easy to use. It came recommended from one of the ladies in one of the groups I belong to on Facebook. This is awesome for my PCOSers. I really like this app because it allows me to chart exactly when I start and when exactly when I end. Then it predicts when your ovulation should be based on the information given for that particular month. It allows you to chart your basal temperature, your moods, your weight, symptoms, Cervical mucus and your tests (OPKS and Pregnancy Tests). Just so everyone knows... The information on these charts are not mine! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
I still really like Ovia too... I just felt that it wasn't being accurate for me since my periods are not regular enough. I know some women can have PCOS and be more regular then I am when it comes to periods per say, so this app may work perfect for you and its totally awesome as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well I have been trying to have a baby since February. Which hasn't been long to some people. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I had been having problems with my period. I have never had a regular period even when I was a young teen. To think I probably had this when I was younger and just didn't know it. Anyways, when I found out I had PCOS I was struggling because I wasn't getting my period. Then I started taking Vitex which is Chaste-berry it is really great for to help regulate your cycle. Well it definitely worked... LOL worked so good that my period came alright... Then it wouldn't stop for like 19 days. I went in to the doctor and she told me my iron was really really low. Well NO SHIT... after bleeding for 19 days straight I guess so. I got a prescription for Iron and along with deficiency... I was vitamin D deficient. I kind of knew that going in that I probably would be because I don't drink milk. I never have since I was a kid. Go figure. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Anyways, so I started my period... Started spotting on last Saturday. Aunt Flow showed her ugly face fully on Sunday. I was stressing so hard core that I was going to have to go through another 19 days of hell. Not to mention painful hell. I was so scared I was going to jinx it. I still kind of am to be totally honest. However, my period started to taper off Saturday and by Sunday I didn't even have to wear a pad. (Doing a happy dance)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So now... I just wait to see if I ovulate. Thank god I have bought just about every ovulation test known to man so I am prepared. I've got my basal thermometer ready and by my bed. And all I have to do after that, is do the deed. If you know what I mean! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Fingers Crossed! Hopefully there will be a tiny little baby in my tummy ! :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Have a good night guys! </span></div>
