Month 1: Day 18 of cycle

Notes:

• Timed contact tonight but DH has to work so contact early in the morning.
• I am really scared now. I did feel some slight pains at the right abdomen but no sign of increased temperature yet. It is now day 18 but there seems to be no ovulation.
• Bought a new thermometer and my temp today is at 36.3 – been having 36.3 since I first took the temp.
• Is it possible to ovulate without the temp rising? I am scared 😦

Month 1: Day 17 of cycle

Notes:

• Timed contact last night.
• Possible untimed contact tonight.
• Felt a very slight pain at the lower right abdomen last night but it lasted just a few seconds – is that the release of the egg? Hoping hard that it is the case 🙂
• Still no sign of increased temperature.
• Still scared.

Month 1: Day 16 of cycle

Notes:

• Untimed contact last night.
• Timed contact tonight.
• Been trying to take temperature but broke the thermometer uh-oh

~~~~~

It is the 16th day of the cycle and am scared because:

• I have not felt any pain that is supposed to signal the release of the egg.
• I have not noticed any sudden drop or increase in my temperature. Is it because the weather’s been so cold these past few days? Still, that scared me coz the doc said I’d be able to experience the sudden increase in temp. Breaking the thermometer does not help, either. Sigh.
• I am feeling some slight pain at my left breast already 😦 a signed of an impending period, perhaps?

Month 1: Day 15 of cycle

Notes:

• Timed contact last night.
• Doc said daily contact is OK coz of DH’s high sperm count.
• Possible contact tonight.
• Possible egg release starting today. Crossing fingers 🙂

Month 1: Day 13 of cycle

Notes:

• Timed contact last night.
• No contact today.
• Timed contact tomorrow.
• Went to doc for TVS. Here are the results:

 

TVS Results:

• Polycystic left ovary
• Normal right ovary with dominant follicle sized 1.5 x 1.3 cm
• Proliferative phase endometrium

~~~~~

Praying hard and crossing fingers that the follicle will burst and produce an egg that will be fertilized soon 🙂

Month 1: Day 11 of cycle

Notes:

• No timed contact today.
• Timed contact tomorrow.
• Will be seeing doc on Saturday.

Month 1: Day 10 of cycle

Notes:

• No contact last night and the other night.
• Contact tonight. This is day 10. The start of the week leading to ovulation (crossing fingers and praying hard).

Month 1: Day 9 of cycle

Notes:

• Last day of Clomiphene citrate
• No contact last night and tonight
• Planned contact starting tomorrow

~~~~~

Wish us luck and baby dusts!

Month 1: Day 8 of cycle

Notes:

• Started the Clomiphene citrate intake on the 18th – last pill will be taken tomorrow. Crossing my fingers and praying hard.
• Contact last night. Too early but I guess we want to maximize our chances.
• Planned contact: Wednesday (23rd), Friday (25th), Sunday (27th), Tuesday (29th), and Thursday (31st).
• Ovulation expected on the 27th. Hopefully, mature follicles will be there on our next TVS.

Month 1:Fourth Day of Cycle

Went to the doc this morning…Notes are:

• Hubby’s sperm analysis perfect. She called DH a millionaire 😀
• It was me all along. Of course, am not sad. In fact, am happy that DH’s count is good – that would make the baby quest easier 🙂
• Doc gave me Clomiphene citrate – that’s expected. I’ll be taking in beginning on the 18th until the 22nd. One tablet a day.
• Have to do timed contact on the dates she noted for us.
• Have to go back on the 26th to check for follicles.

~~~~~~

I really don’t want to keep my hopes up. I know that some women do get pregnant on the first cycle but many don’t. Well, I hope we’ll be lucky and blessed to get it on the first cycle, though 🙂 keeping fingers crossed!
