OMG! I think I'm pregnant!
I'm not currently on any medicine to help me get pregnant. I had gone to the Dr. recently to discuss this but was waiting for my period to start to do another required test before beginning something new.
About two days after my period was supposed to start I decided to take a pregnancy test. I always thought I would wait at least a week after my period was late because I'm not always consistent with the start date. But something was just a little different this time.
It came back positive for being pregnant!!! :-)
I went to hubby, who was watching tv:
me: um, we need to talk
you: did I do something?
me: um, yeah you did.... I'm pregnant (showed hubby test)
you: really?
It's still unbelievable. I haven't been to my Dr. yet to confirm but I'm taking prenatal medicine. We finally had sex since the announcement and of course hubby said afterwards, "this won't hurt the baby right?" :-) no.

Maybe there is hope?
I've been doing some research on PCOS and getting pregnant. I've gone one route already with Metformin but that didn't pan out. I've read that Clomid is another really good option. And then I found out the other day of another real good possibility - it's called Femara. Evidently this is VERY new, so much so that everything I find about it talks about how its used for Breast Cancer. But I've talked to two ladies who have taken it and got pregnant immediately. That sounds so promising. I have an appointment with my OBGYN in early December so I will be bringing this up to her.

We'll See
Well we had another try at it a couple of weeks ago. Of course I'll never waste my money on a pregnancy test until I've missed my period for about a week.
This is the first time in my life that I look forward to "that time of the month" cause I want to see if its not there.

nothing
That time of the month came where I determined I should be ovulating, I took the ovulating tests - just to be sure - and it never turned positive. I guess I skipped a month and now that's another full month gone for possibly being pregnant. Hubby keeps sprouting out names.

Failed!
Hubby has been really cute about this pregnancy thing. He keeps saying things like...
"How long before we know we're pregnant?"
"Sure is hard making a baby"
"Are we pregnant yet?"
He's even thinking up baby names. I think they're cute I just don't participate in the play. I guess I can't until I know for sure that we are pregnant and its a reality. I never played that game when I was little and all the girls did that.
And "lucky me" the cramps I was experiencing yesterday just reinforced that our 3 days in a row didn't work... I guess we'll have to try again!

3 days in a row! ! !
We've had discussions about getting pregnant. I've told you that there is only one time during each month that I'm capable of potentially conceiving. And I take an ovulation test to know for sure when it is. And if it shows positive we have 2-3 days that we need to have sex - AND you have to c^m inside me...
Well that time came and I was curious if you remembered what I had said. I mentioned I was positive and we needed to have sex for the next 3 days - Fri/Sat/Sun. Friday night I went to bed cause I was tired and you were up on your computer. I thought to myself "well I guess he's not that interested in trying for a kid". To my surprise when he came to bed he wanted to have sex.
I'd have to say that the sex we had those 3 nights in a row were really good. I guess maybe I felt it was a little different because it was kind of for a different purpose. You seemed to really enjoy it and take a little more time and pleasure with it. Or maybe its just me.
Anyway, I won't know yet for a few more weeks if it worked or not. I won't even try to take a test unless I'm a week late on period.

Got kids?
We have been kind of trying to get pregnant for about two years. I've dicussed it with my Dr. and finally a test has advised that I have PCOS. Which means that I don't ovulate on my own. (and luckily enough to gain weight and have a nice acne problem - those are other discussions)
To help me ovulate I have to take these pills which are huge and I really have trouble taking pills. But to help us concieve I take the pills (up to 4 a day). The only problem is that on the 3 likely days that I could be ovulating we need to have sex. And those first 2 months or so that I first starting taking the pills we either a) never had sex for whatever reason b) had sex but ended with you not ejaculating inside me (you prefer the hand jobs to finish up with). I stopped taking the pills! Why take them? I'm doing my part to help with this situation and you have to do your part.
One of your friends came into town this week who has recently had a baby. You told them you had never held a baby before so his mother made you hold the baby. And when you came home you told me that it made you realize that you wanted a baby and we needed to do whatever we needed to do to make this happen.
We had a nice little discussion. I told you, again, that I potentially have 3 days that I can get pregnant. I kind of know in advance based on my periods but won't know "for sure" unless I do a test. So it was decided that I would mark on a calendar the potential days and then make another mark when I was for sure. I told him that I was a little cautious about "telling" him of "the" day because I didn't want him to be thinking of this and not able to perform. He told me he didn't know how he would react so we'll have to just see how this works. I also mentioned that on these 3 days he has to c^m inside me - no hand jobs.
I don't know how successful we're gonna be. I talked to another lady who also had PCOS and she said to just go straight to the fertility medicines which increase your chances of getting pregnant. I've looked into this and most insurances don't help with these procedures and its about $1200 for just ONE treatment. Yeah like we have that type of money just lying around.
