Can someone tell my...

Can someone please tell my uterus that it has to cooperate. So after a week and a half of spotting my nurse at TFC told me to get some B/W done in order to figure out what was going on. She also scheduled an appt to see the doctor the following day.

Went to my appt this morning and found out that a) I was not preggo and b) Progesterone level was low. The doctor told me that my lining was also thin so that contributed to not getting a full AF. Before she did the U/S I asked her about our next treatment with either Clomid or Injections. She told me that because I didn't O on the previous rounds of Clomid that my chances this time around were slim. She recommended that I go ahead with the injections since they would monitor me closely in order to make sure that I didn't over stimulate my ovaries.

She finally did the U/S and it clearly showed the my lining was very thin. When she checked the ovaries she gasped because right smack in the middle of the monitor was a HUGE CYST!!! My heart sank to my feet and I knew that was not a good sign. She didn't find any cysts on my left ovary which was a relief to me. After poking me for a few minutes she told me that she would prescribe BCP in order to shrink the cyst and asked me to come back in one month to see the progress. Simple...NOT!!! When I was checking out I got asked if I had high blood pressure and I said Yes. Well it turns out that now I can't take any BCP b/c the doctor is cautious about my blood pressure.

So here I am frustrated as can be because I have to let this cyst shrink on its own. This changes any plans that we had to start our next cycle any time soon. Now all I can do is wait and leave it in God's hands and see what happens :(

In other news...we're going to see the Yankees play the Rangers for the American League Championship. Super happy since DH and I have never been to any playoff game. My license exam is fast approaching so I'm in full study MODE!!!

God help me through these next few weeks...

This Waiting Game Sux...

So I finished the Provera last week and I'm still waiting to see AF. I've been spotting since Sunday night but nothing has given me any indication that AF is ready to pop her head around the corner.

I try not to get myself wound up about this cycle but it's hard not to think about it. I went to Target and bought the Biggest Loser Wii game...LOVE IT!!! I knew I had to start exercising at some point so I caved in and bought it. It actually kicks your a**. I love the fact that there are set routines for whatever your goal is. So I'm actually staying on track with the game and doing cardio walks every other day. According to the game I lost 2lbs last week so that's 2 lbs less from my total goal...I'll keep that number to myself...LoL.

Things are going good in the Lopez de Victoria-Gabriel household...jeez what a long name...Imagine trying to sign that on a piece of paper. DH has been coaching Xavier's soccer team and that has actually been a distraction since I get to play soccer with him and the boys. My engineering test is 23 days away so I've been busy studying the material that I haven't used in 4 years!!! I'm looking foward to seeing my Mom in Puerto Rico. She always knows how to put a smile on my face even if she has to bring me to tears to then get me happy. I actually get to spend more time in PR so I'll be visiting my BFF and her baby girl. Her life stories are like a soap opera show...she knows how to make things interesting.

I also did the unthinkable this past weekend...I got a tattoo!!! DH couldn't believe that I did it since he knew that at some point I had to tell my Mom. She actually took it better than I expected and even told me that she thought that my brother would do his before I even did one. There's a meaning behind the tattoo...it's an ambigram that says FAITH one way and HOPE the other. DH found it when searching the web and thought that it represented our journey TTC. I'll post the pic later when it has healed properly.

Gotta go...time to leave work and head home...
