I'm theoretically coming to the end of my 3rd cycle taking progesterone supplements. I'll start the pills again on Thursday. The first two "cycles" were completely anovulatory. I didn't bother to get the ultrasound because I never got any indication whatsoever that ovulation was imminent.
This "cycle" has been very odd. For the first 10 or so days, my basal temps were disturbingly low (96.2F-97.2F). Then there were 4 days of normal-ish temps (97.4F-97.6F). For the past 2 days, I've woken up with hot flashes and my temp has been 97.9F. I've had some ferning show up on the spit-o-meter (OvuScope just doesn't have the same ring to it ;) but it hasn't been consistent *at all*. I ended up not getting the ultrasound again because I would have probably needed to do it either while we were out of town, or on a weekend when the lab was closed. Oh well. Maybe next time.
I think I'm gonna schedule an appointment with the OB/GYN soonish since I haven't actually followed up with her since my nurse practioner left the practice. I'm gonna hold off making an appointment with the endocrinologist about my thyroid until my temps stop being so wacky.
If my boobs start hurting, I'm gonna get suspicious (tho I'll likely think that it is psychosomatic). We've done just about all the random crap people tell you to do when you're not getting pregnant. We've gone on vacation. Stopped Trying (tm). Just spent $$$ for me to join the gym. Not that any of that was intended to increase fertility, well, except joining the gym since any weight I can get rid of would likely help.
I've been trying to eat more fruits and veggies and less flour/sugar. When we're in town, I go to a 90 minute yoga class on Saturdays. Today I worked in the garden for 2 hours, prepping a place to plant my tomatoes. Tomorrow I'm gonna go to the gym to peek in on a couple of classes and probably use the treadmill (I wonder if I can knit and not kill myself on it...) My dog would love me more if I started taking her out for walks in the morning again. Hopefully this stuff will help counteract the wonky hormones and steer them back to their normal balance. Alas, only time will tell.
