Update to Screwed Up...

Thank you everyone for your advice last week - I feel bad saying that I didn't take it.

I did call the RE as Amanda suggested, to confirm taking the Femara CD5-9 instead of 3-7 (because I screwed up and didn't take it)  I was still hemming and hawing about taking it, but waited patiently for the call from the REs nurse. 

She called at 4:55pm.  I picked up.  There was no one there.  I hung up and waited for her to try me again.  She didn't.  When I called back at 5:01pm, she was gone.

WTF?  With everything going on in my head, plus this little mishap, I figured the universe was screaming at me again and I was ignoring it, so for once, I'd listen.  I'm not taking the Femara.  I'm praying like crazy that I "O" on my own again (rare) and that it happens before I get fed up and start taking Prometrium to get AF.  I'm sure to kick myself over this but I'm trying to "give it up" this cycle.  I'm not in charge anyway I guess, so why delude myself into thinking I have any power over the outcome?  Pfft.

On a related note, I didn't handle yesterday well at all.  Knowing I wasn't going to take anything, knowing I'm probably looking at a marathon cycle, knowing that "WAITING" is going to become my middle name... I had a hard time yesterday in the company of a friend who has a DD my daughters age, 2.5 year old twin girls, and is 6 months pregnant.  I've never had a hard time being around other pregnant people.  But yesterday sucked. 

Thanks for listening all, and sorry for not following your advice!

P.S. To my cycle buddies lillinzlou and lena0210, I hope to stay on track with you guys!

    We are going non-medicated too. I did start taking royal jelly and DHEA this month, though. Still not sure if I'm ovulating on my own, either. I will be doing OPK's, though, and being monitored by RE. Are you temping or anything? I really have a great feeling about this month!!! Remember: STAY POSITIVE!

    Good luck this month, I really hope your body remembers what it's supposed to do. I'm unmedicated except for my DHEA and my baby aspirin (OK, fine, and the luteal hCG shots), but all of those are because I *know* I can't get KU with a sticky baby without them.

    So I have a question, I couldn't post when you wrote on Friday, but why were your choices only cd3-7 and 5-9, and not 4-8? My RE's office does both a 3 day start and a 4 day start for some people. Anyway, water under the bridge.  

    May this be our lucky unmedicated months!

    Ugh, I'm so sorry the timing didn't work out.  I hate it when there is that phone call confusion!  Is it still too late to take the Femara?  I feel like I have read stories on TTTC about people taking Femara or Clomid later in the cycle when the first round did not make them O.  But hopefully your body will remember what it's supposed to do!

    I'm giving my body (and brain!) and break and doing unmedicated cycle this month too.  I hope this is the one for all of us!
