Now that I'm taking a (forced) month off of medically induced cycling, I've sort of been taking my temperatures here and there without much thought. I'm doing it more out of force of habit than anything else. Usually my temps hover around 36.12 C or so. So imagine my surprise when I took the thermometer out of my mouth this morning to see 36.48 staring back at me. What the? I almost never ovulate on my own so seeing this temp on CD22 is a bit of a shock. Now I'm counting backwards trying to remember the last time the hubs and I BD'd last. Did we miss this miraculous egg-dropping? Did we lose our chance at a free chance to get pregnant?
Oh gosh. Fertility anxiety never ends.

Waiting
Is it just me or does it seem like this whole TTC journey is comprised of a whole lot of waiting? Waiting for your period, waiting for follicles to mature, waiting to see your doctor, the two-week wait, waiting for results, waiting, waiting, waiting... And now I am waiting, yet again. Waiting for these darn cysts to go away.
It's been a while since I blogged, so let me back up a bit. The hubs and I had a great time in Hawaii. It really helped ease the anxiety of the 2 ww. However, I was pretty bloated most of the time with a mild case of OHSS. I looked to be about 4 months pregnant. Not exactly a bikini-ready body but at least I wasn't in any sort of pain. I knew I wasn't pregnant when my OHSS symptoms started to go away towards the end of the trip. And then I REALLY knew I wasn't pregnant when I got my period full force on the last day of our trip. Extremely crampy and irritable is not exactly how one would like to spend their last day in Hawaiian paradise. So I apologize to the hubs for being a bit of a *bleep*. A sour end to our vacation, but the rest of it was so wonderful that it didn't really ruin it entirely.
So I am now on CD10 but my day 3 ultrasound revealed quite a few cysts - the biggest measuring around 5 cm and others around 2 cm. The doctor didn't want to take the risk of starting me up again on meds until the cysts resolved. So we are not doing anything this month besides trying the good ol' fashioned way. Which is pretty pointless because I very rarely ovulate or get my period on my own. But it's still worth a try, I guess. MIght as well make it a fun wait!
