Quick Recap Part 2--THIS Cycle

So we moved on to the current cycle.  I decided I would NOT stress about getting pregnant.  I've had so much stress with EVERYTHING in my life lately...TTC, family, money, job...that it was getting to a point of making me sick.

My doctor confirmed this when I went in for my U/S last Thursday the 16th .  We did the Femara 5mg CD 3-7 again.  This month when I went in, I had 2 FOLLIES on my left!  Nothing on my right...we've discovered that my right ovary just isn't working like the left.  We've never gotten anything off of it.  But my left ovary is AWESOME!  Lol!  Anyway, she decided to have me do the trigger shot again, and I actually triggered 2 days earlier than last time.  I didn't even bother with OPKs this time.  When she came in to go over things with me she hopped up on the bed (I was in the chair) and she says, "I want you to drink and have sex all weekend!"  She proceded to tell me that stress can play a major role in TTC.  She told me to get some wine, and enjoy a romantic weekend with my hubby.  She said she firmly believes that I will NOT get pregnant if I stay as stressed as I have been.  It's not healthy for my body and it's not healthy for my soul.  She told me what I needed to hear...it was time to stop trying to fix everything, control everything, and just go with the flow.

And that's what I did.  I followed her directions (hubby had zero complaints lol!)  After I knew I had ovulated, I stopped thinking about TTC completely.  I left it in God's hands.  I'm currently 7 days past my trigger, so I'm probably about 4-6 days past ovulation.  I'm noticing some strange things going on with my body, but I refuse to dwell on them...for now.  My fingers are crossed but I'm not going to let my hopes get built up.  If it happens, it happens...I have to leave it up to the Powers That Be.

BUUUTTTT...if I'm still having these "strange" things going on with my body at the end of the weekend, I'll be posting all about them here!  Cautiously optimistic...that's the name of the game.
