We continue to wait for the phone call from the fertility clinic. Last we heard, they had indicated that we may expect a call within 3-6 months. That would put us at approximately June-September for a start date. They call and then arrange an initial appointment for a few weeks after that. My hope is that the herbs or the metformin will help in the meantime and we won't even need to see them. I'm now taking 1500mg per day of the metformin and I've noticed what appears to be a stabilization of my BBTs. I'm taking that as a positive sign.
Also this past week the lines on the opks started getting darker and then faded away again. The next few days temperatures will tell if that was ovulation or just another false reading from the PCO. My fingers are crossed that I was successful this time around, and that I am on the right track. I'm not sure how much longer I can endure this cycle. My plan B is to go back to the walk-in clinic end of April and work with Provera/Clomid from there.
I'm also exercising more and going to the gym twice a week. I am back seeing my personal trainer and hoping to lose a few pounds as I wait. Plus I've read that PCO can sometimes be brought under control by exercise and weight loss. So it can't hurt to try. I also recently joined a yoga studio and am going twice a week at lunch hours.
This past Thursday was my last day (for the next twenty-four months) as a City Planner. Monday leads to my first day as an Applications Analyst. I have some big changes to look forward to and am trying not to be nervous, but it's difficult to be the new person. I'm hopeful that the new job will reduce my stress levels and help in some small way with TTC. I also look forward to the new challenges and learning. On top of that, I am also preparing for my final exam on April 19th for my Professional Planning designation to become an RPP, MCIP. I have been working towards this for the past 4 years.
Right now a BFP would be very welcome. In some small way I think it could diffuse my worries about these things and cause me to relax knowing that no matter what happens, that there are bigger things for me. Plus having something so very precious to focus on would be elating. Fingers crossed that my BBTs continue on an upward path from here.
