Ovulation, sweet ovulation!

Well I just got the call from my specialist and my progesterone level was 8.4.  She explained that anything over a 3 means I ovulated.  Anything over an 8 can hold a pregnancy.  So while mine isn't that high, it's still plenty high enough to get and stay pregnant.  So now I wait and see.  I think I'm going to start testing now and if it's positive, then I know it's because of the HCG trigger I had.  But if it's negative, then I know those meds are out of my system and any test after that should be accurate.  At worst case, I am going to do a blood test on Monday and a urine test on Tuesday before my procedure to confirm that I'm not pregnant BEFORE I do the D&C.  After that, I'll have to talk to the doctor before I find out if I can continue right away or if I have to wait a month before I can continue.

 

So far, I feel pretty good.  It's still pretty early, but I have had some food aversions.  For example, we got bbq boneless wings the other night and the smell made me so sick feeling and I normally love those.  Otherwise, I have been EXTREMELY moody, cranky, and emotional lately.  One minute, I'm so mad just because somebody bumped into me and the next I'm in tears.  I feel really good about this cycle, but then again this is the farthest we've ever gotten and I'm so happy that we are making progress.  It's ok if it doesn't happen this cycle, now we know what works and we can keep going in the future.
