Nope
No ovulation at all. Looks like my body might be considering it, but not right now. Fucker.
On the semi-positive side I mentioned my concern to my acupuncturist, who scheduled me an appointment for next wednesday when I get back from my trip. If I still haven’t ovulated she said she has some herbs that can help things along. And if that fails I’ll be calling the nurses for medication.
Although I have to admit, it’s tempting to consider just taking some progesterone to fake-ovulate like a FET. At this point I’m totally not concerned about catching an egg – if it’s even on the side that has a tube still. I just want to keep things on schedule for my IVF cycle, damnit.
And also, I am so not having a good week. This time the week itself seems fine… it’s me that’s all messed up. Anxiety… way too much anxiety. And for what? I’ve just not been right since Saturday.
Ugh. Because what you need now is your body not cooperating. *hugs*
Anxiety sucks. It stuffs everything up. When I’m anxious I can’t concentrate, I can’t sleep, I don’t eat properly, I can’t think, I’m pretty useless for everything. Wouldn’t surprise me if my body got confused as well by my constant anxiety.
Nat, just wanted to say thanks for posting that awesome article about stillbirth. I couldn’t agree with the premise of the article more. I KNOW countless stillbirths could be prevented by simple awareness, more open discussion, better screening, etc. My brother’s loss of his daughter is one of the ones that falls into that category. There will always be unforseen or unpreventable accidents, but there are sooooo many that could be avoided with these simple steps. I do hope that the Congress bill passes and that awareness increases. It really, really needs to.
Again, thanks for sharing. And thanks for spreading the knowledge about stillbirth in all of the ways that you do through your blog.
Fingers crossed for O (or medication to bring O) very soon!
What a tough week. That really sucks. :( {{hugs}}
Hey, Nat’s ovaries! SPIT ONE OUT ALREADY, BITCHEZ! I don’t care which one of you does it. Just make a decision already and get it done.
(((((Natalie))))) I’ve never heard of using progesterone to fake-ovulate… sounds very sophisticated. When are your August injections supposed to start?
