Bitch day

I will start taking the Clomid tonite; I have read that I may hallucinate and suffer from hot flashes. My mother tells me I will most likely be a bitch.
Woo!
I better be pregnant by this time next month.

My house is covered in a fine layer of white powder. It is the remnants of the popcorn ceiling form out living room. We set up sheets of plastic to try and trap it all in one room but a bunch of it has started to leak out. Mac has spent the last several days scrapping and sanding and expects to be finished with it tonite. He does it all from the top of a ladder and I can hear him in there grunting and groaning. I cant imagine how miserable it must be. The heater comes on and all the heat is trapped by the plastic sheeting, he says it gets REALLY hot in there while the dogs and i freeze.

The Super Bowl is this Sunday and I am thrilled that the colts made it all the way. I am not thrilled that the TV is in our guest room due to the living room work. We are going to start painting the living room Saturday so there is no point in putting it back up. Guess we will be watching the Colts win form our bed. Should I risk our sheets by making nachos?

Okay well I am off to do homework and get my muffins out of the oven.

Marching for Babies!

Talked to the nurse and got my test results (negative, not pregnant). Apparently my pathetic nothing of a period isn't good enough so I have to wait for a real one to start the Clomid... come on body, you can do it! Okay back to school work

waiting

I am making myself wait until 9 am to call teh doctors office for my test results.

We went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox last night at the dollar theater (i guess i should say $1.50 theater... darn inflation) and it was really good. I highly recommend it for all ages. The writing was witty and the animation was a lot smoother than I thought it would be.
The dogs are not very happy with ut right now. Mac has been scraping the popcorn off of the popcorn ceiling in the living room so the whole place is covered in plastic tarps and white powder. needless to say the dogs have been spending a lot of time upstairs. Unfortunately they have not proven to be completely trustworthy in the past so while I am downstairs working in school stuff they have to be in their cages upstairs. We are doing out bes though; the weather is miserably cold and I walked them in the dark last night because just looking at them makes me feel guilty.
Okay well back to waiting....

Okay so I am feeling better after this doc appt. It is possible that I ovulated after the ovulation test two weeks ago and if so I would only now be starting to have positive preggo tests, so I did a urine test in the office (negative but not uncommon for PCOS) and then did a blood test that I will get results for on Monday.

IF it is negative we are going to wait til Feb 20th. If i get my period before then, I start clomed on day 3, estradiol on day 8 and progesterone on day 17.
If I dont get my period before then I will take provera to get a period and then wait until my NEXT period to start the clomed cause its hard to figure out day 1 with clomed.

Also mac has to take in a sperm sample to get analyzed if i am not pregnant (he REALLY hopes i am pregnant) I said "ha now you get to do something uncomfortable!" :) he is actually taking it pretty well and doing a ton of research on message boards and things. I have a great hubby!

So I am in better spirits today in spite of the rain and cold outside.

My fingers are freezing!

Today was another tough one productivity wise BUT it was great weight watchers wise. I am going to have to refer to last Friday through Monday as my "semi-lost weekend." I went off the deep end with not tracking my points and pretty much eating constantly, however, what I ate was healthy, so it wasn't ALL bad. I just can't seem to get my act together this week. I have gotten some school stuff done but not nearly as much as I wanted to and I find that frustrating. I just keep getting overwhelmed! I was walking the dogs today and the thought struck me that I was going to have to walk them tomorrow AND the next day AND the day after that and I just wanted to cry. What is up with me?
This may all be related to my finally calling the lady doc today for my test results. The nurse said everything was marked as normal, so I asked if that meant I ovulated last month and she looked at it and said it looked low and she was going to have to talk to my doc and call me tomorrow since my doc is out of the office today. Sigh. So much waiting and frustration. Meanwhile I haven't had a period since Dec 23rd, which could mean I am pregnant but I am not happy or excited because PCOS is mean and hateful and this could all be my hormones exacting revenge on me for... umm.. .something, who knows?
Oh well all I can do is give myself a pat on the back for writing my research article reaction today with frozen fingers and go make a big salad (mmmm... raw broccoli and cucumbers sound SO good)

Hey! Guess what!! I did skool stuff today!!! Like actual assignments and stuff!!!!

I guess the mental block is over. Its hard coming off of vacation and going back to the real world. Perhaps my vacation was just too long? (a month)

Regardless, yesterday i gave both dogs baths and did dishes and laundry and basically nothing academic and today I got up early and made myself work, even ordered my books!

Now I need to go grocery shopping and prepare for girls night this Sunday (can I still call it girls night if it is at 1pm.. oh well whatever). I had the brilliant idea that we should all bring healthy snacks and now all i want is pizza. Maybe I should create a healthy pizza?

We shall see...
