Af showed up today on June 30th, 2008. So it is on to my first medicated cycle in a year. I am anticipating it with a mix of emotions; fear and excitement being two of them. I am taking the drug Femara on cycle days 3-7, which will be July 2-6. So I will finish it right before we leave for Jamaica. I will keep this updated as to any and all side effects that I have from this medication. Although it is nothing like clomid, and presents with very few side effects usually. I also have to add this is my 4th month in a row to have AF. Which is unheard of for me. I also am not having very bad cramps at all anymore. I cramp the day before af and then nothing or very little after that. Which is a turn around from the terrible cramps I used to have when AF came.

I am 5 dpo or days past ovulation and on day 23 of my cycle. It is going so so slowly. I still have 10 days until I can take a test or start my af. Great. So I am just waiting and waiting and waiting. It is really unnerving and frustrating.
Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. John Quincy Adams
So this is our 5 millionth month of trying to concieve or at least that is what it feels like. This is my last month of unmedicated trying. I ovulated finally on day 18, which is weird because my cycles were shortening and then this one is perfect. Maybe that means its meant to be, but I really dont know and dont want to get my hopes up, or anyone elses. So I am now offically in the 2 week wait. I also got a peak on my monitor today and dark lines again so I guess I really really ovulated!!! This is totally new territory for me, even when I was doing clomid and injectibles this did not happen for me!!! Sometimes my AF would not even come at the end of a cycle and I would have to take Provera to start it, so even having an AF for three months in a row is a step in the right direction for us. It is so exciting to us. So please with us luck this cycle, this could be IT for us.
