This is not a fairytale. I learned that quite a few months ago. Naively, we went into this thinking "Oh! We want to have a baby now" and expected that it would happen because we wanted it to. And, for some that does work. Not for me - or many others like me. It's hard. It's emotional. It sometimes gets the best of you. So, after over a year of trying to conceive and a PCOS diagnosis, I find myself here - trying to believe.

Impatient

I am still waiting to O. I say still, and I'm only on CD12! But I'm so impatient this cycle I want to be the end so I can see if I had the desired result--one word on a digital test "Pregnant." I'm marinating, as I lovingly refer to lying down after DTD. Still no peak on my monitor but my CM seems to be transitioning nicely into fertile. So, nothing new really. Still just waiting.

High!

 The monitor requested a stick today. And lo and behold...high reading. Woohoo!

Soy Oh Boy

So yesterday was CD5, which means it was time for me to start taking Soy. I took 100mg (2 1/2 pills). I had no bad side effects. Maybe I was a little hot, but that was it. This morning I woke up to AF...back again a little heavier. I hope this stuff works.

Magic Package

 I got a package today from a fellow TTC-er. She tried soy and didn't like it so she sent it to me. I start it tomorrow. I hope it makes me O!

New tricks

 I used my monitor today. It was pretty simple . It didn't ask for a test so I didn't have to pee on anything yet. My soy is on the way. A friend from a forum I'm a member of is sending me some. This cycle is going to be like a science experiment--new gadgets and supplements that I hope will make me ovulate and help me confirm it. I also read that sperm count is  highest in the morning, so on days that I get a peak, or even high reading we are going to DTD before DH even makes it out of bed. I figure it can't hurt to have his little guys strength on my side too.

On to the next cycle...

 Pretty sure AF is here. I'm glad, too! Sometimes it takes forever, now I can start my successful cycle. I feel like this is going to be the one. I have a Clearblue Easy Fertility monitor and I'm going to be using Soy Isoflavones aka "Nature's Clomid".

I'm going to be temping and charting through Fertility Friend. This cycle is putting me over the 1 year mark, but I'm praying this is it!

My almost BFP

So on a whim I POAS the other night about 8pm and got this


Everything since that has been stark white. Now I'm just waiting on AF.
