Well, I finally broke down and decided to let Dr. King's nurse have her way - so, I started this lovely pill called Provera. Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with infertility, there are many drugs out there, specifically designed to alter your hormones. I've decided they must've been concocted by MEN. No woman in her right mind would submit these pills to the FDA for approval, after knowing what kind of roller-coaster these little pills put you through!
Since I suffer from PCOS (polycycstic ovarian syndrome), I do not have a normal cycle. I'm talking, every woman's dream here: maybe three or four cycles a YEAR! Uh-huh, now you know why I can't get prego so easily... Anyway, so Provera is supposed to MAKE you begin a cycle. Makes you wonder exactly HOW this happens, doesn't it? Well, I have taken this pill before, and let me just warn all of my friends and family now.... the side effects ain't pretty! LOL!
I never really experience PMS or suffer from bitchyness or any of that stuff (though, my hubby might disagree with that statement -lol), but it's a totally different story when I'm taking this "magical" little drug. So, do not say that I didn't warn you all! This could be a rough week.....
But, the good thing is, the sooner I get a visit from Aunt Flo, the quicker I can get back to Dr. King, and we can REALLY get some stuff going. So, hopefully, if all goes as planned - we will have some NEWS (good or bad) in the next couple of weeks.
I'll let you know if I've bitten anyone's head off. LOL!
Until next time.....

Hey Natalie! Mom (that would be Aunt Sue to you) told me about your blog. I look forward to keeping up with your mission and know only good things are yet to come. Jason and I struggled with infertility for a while too. When I read your posts, it certainly brought back memories of our journey and I had those exact feelings. It was certainly tough when Mark and Debbie announced they were having a baby that was not in their family plan. And I remember all those same comments of encouragement. I know people feel helpless because they can't make it happen either but it sure is challenging to put on a happy face sometimes. So...my quest to you is to keep on, keeping on. Keep in touch and keep your "head biting off" to a minimum! :)
