Good Morning Fellow Chartstalkers!
Well AF is here. She came during the night. I had a work function/party yesterday afternoon/evening and everyone was drinking, and I couldn't. It was so boring not to have even one beer knowing that AF would 99% for sure show up today but being worried about that 1% chance that she might not. I can't say I was in the head space to enjoy it. And there was karaoke (Latin style) and I really don't like the music here, so that annoyed me even more! They are into this style called Vallenato. It is accordian, drums and guitar. I hate it. Not a fan of the accordian. It is very odd that in Latin America the accordian achieved such heights of fame. There's a story about some German that immigrated here at the turn of the 20th century and brought his accordian out and somehow got them all hooked. It's only big on the Colombian and Venezuelan Caribbean coast.
Anyway, so this wasn't my month after all. Turns out my body likes the 15 day LP better than the 12. So if I forget ladies, you'll have to remind me that I am banned from testing from now on until 16DPO.
I'm ok with it as I had my depressed day yesterday. For the first time really, DH was completely let down that it was a BFN. He said he couldn't work yesterday once he saw the temp drop and so spent the day cleaning out all the drawers and cupboards in the apartment. Bless! He doensn't want to stop trying, even for a few months, as now he realises how much he wants a baby. He wants to push on with the clomid to give us more of a chance. I think the doc will up the dose now as he didn't seem very impressed with my 1 follicle last month. So I guess as long as I'm here I might as well take advantage of the reduced cost to have fertility treatment and the fact that I am already in it. Once I get home I have no idea how this kind of thing would work, and what they would have me do.
I have one more month here before we leave for the UK. We leave on the 15th of June. So that's one more cycle I can do on the clomid and hormones. Then for the trip I am away for another month and so will talk to the doc about what to do for that cycle if the next doesn't work. I imagine that if he monitors me with ultrasound again this month and everything looks fine, then I could just go ahead and take the meds without monitoring for the third month. I don't have PCOS so seem less likely to develop cysts on clomid.
Oh ladies, so sorry to rant and go on. Just thinking out loud (on electronic paper???) and you're the lucky ones I am sharing with
Kitty, we leave to return to Oz on the 19th of August. Once we get back from Europe I have 5 weeks here and DH 4 weeks. He is staying on after me to go to a conference in Vienna. We have friends here the whole time though as from next week so that might make it all more difficult.
Sorry again to go on. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Is the weather still good? I hope not too good, as I want it to be nice for my trip in June. So please don't use up all of your British sunshine before then!
Hope you Ov soon Loola and catch that eggie!
Trudy, Kitty's doc seems to know what he's talking about. I like the advice and knowledge he shares with her, and she in turn with us, so you are probably fine. Your attitude is nice an positive, and like you said, you got pregnant before so you will again. It is just a matter of time
Kitty, glad it went well and you are happy with the plan to wait a few more months. It sounds the most sensible and logical course of action in your case. Plus you've been out of action trying for a few months so even though it is coming up to a year now (? is that right) you haven't had that many chances. Hopefully your cycle will be normal again this next one.
Hi to Polly, ROM and anyone else I missed.
0>50 is excellent. So progesterone might not be the problem?
Im not stressed in the slightest, in fact Im the most chilled out Ive felt in years at the moment. Ive realised that there is no need to have a baby immediately, we can wait as long as it takes. I still want to find out if there is a problem with either of our fertility now though of course. 
my dh is training for a mens 10k run in june
