Well, I WAS optimistic.....

After last cycle, I really thought that this cycle would be different. That maybe the Provera would jump-start my period AND kick my ovaries in gear. Alas, it wasn't meant to be :(

It is currently CD55. Fertility Friend gave my cross-hairs (dotted, not solid) for CD30, but I don't believe it. Although, our timing would have been perfect, LOL. I am going to switch to temping vaginally next cycle and keep up with the green tea, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

This is starting to get depressing and I know it is all my fault. I really think that if I could just lose some weight, my periods would get back to normal and hopefully ovulate again. I am at the heaviest I have ever been and have begun to hate my body. I was so excited to buy all new clothes and then realized that I was buying them in a bigger size and I got even more depressed.

But it is very difficult, especially when the diets that used to work don't anymore. I don't know what to do. I've tried Atkins (which worked very well for me in the past) and nada. I tried Weight Watchers and just got so depressed after weighing in and barely losing a pound all week, when the weight was melting off everyone else. I thought about going on Nutrisystem, but really don't have the $$ to spend.

So, I'm at a loss as to what to do now. I am supposed to go to the doc at the end of next month if I am not pregnant, so I'll most likely be looking for, at the very least, an endocrinologist. I'm hoping to find a PCOS-friendly doc that will help in treating the PCOS (which the weight gain/difficulty to lose is a part of).

Any PCOS-ers out there have any ideas? Did Metformin help?

Finally, Lord Stanley is home where he belongs!



So, I have been MIA for awhile and it has everything to do with this:





After 49 looong years, the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup! What makes it even more special is to see the fast turnaround from being one of the worst teams in the league to champions. Five years ago, you couldn't pay people to go see a Hawks game. Sports talk radio didn't even take calls from people wanting to discuss hockey. Now, you can't go anywhere without seeing someone in Hawks gear!

Welcome home, Stanley. Welcome to Hawkeytown!

I'm still here!

I know it has been awhile since I last posted, but I just didn't have anything really to post! I still don't actually! I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm still here :)

We've been very busy going out of town for Memorial Day (which I may post about, but I forgot my camera, so I have no pictures), to rooting on the Hawks in the Stanley Cup Finals (1 MORE WIN!!) and work. Since we've been back from our long weekend out of town, our plans have pretty much revolved around where we were watching the game and spending the least amount of time at home as possible! Seriously, we just want to take advantage of the gorgeous weather we've been having and that means not sitting in the house.

Now that I have sufficiently bored y'all to tears, I'm done :)

I promise to have something more interesting to write about next time!
