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.

The wait

So I am waiting. There are a few different kinds of waiting in the TTC game. First, you wait to O, if you are lucky enough to O. Then, if you do O, you find yourself in the 2WW, two week wait. This is the wait before you can take a HPT and get a valid answer, maybe. I'm in the 2WW neither of these. I thought I O'd, then FF took my crosshairs away, so now IDK. I'm just waiting for my period. Should be about 5 days now. I'm ready for a new cycle and to try new things.

I've made the decision to go to the doctor as soon as AF is gone. I don't know how far I will get since we still don't have insurance. I'm hoping maybe I can just find out if I am O'ing or not. Either way I am going to take Soy Isoflavones on CD 3-7 and use OPKs and maybe it will happen. Here's hoping.
