"Lets get ready to rumble!!!"

So, this was me today!

I went in for my annual visit at my GYN for my pap smear and such. I Dr. H that I hadn't had a period in 48 days and that when it did come I would start fertility treatments. She thought it was "horrible" to wait any longer than 48 days so she called my RE (fertility doctor) to see if there was any reason they would want me to wait longer than 48 to start a period or if she could prescribe Provera to induce a cycle.
Well...
My RE's nurse called me back and told me that I could go ahead and start Femara (my fertility med) tonight!! I was so excited but a little concerned because I hadn't had a period. She said that since my diagnosis was Annovulatory (not ovulating) then I could be waiting for a very very long time to have a period and there was no reason why we couldn't go ahead and start my medicated cycle now! After she answered all of my questions I was all like "Lets do this thang!" (in my head of course).
I am so flippin excited to FINALLY start my medicated cycle!!! I will be taking Femara for 5 days, starting tonight. This will help my follicles grow big a strong! Then on April 13, I will go in for a sonogram to make sure I don't have a cyst, make sure my follicles are big enough and that I won't become octomom! If my sonogram looks good then I will take my trigger shot, which will release my egg, and then I will do my IUI (intrauterine insemination) which will bring the sperm into my ute waiting for the grand arrival of my egg!

I went to my RE's office today to pay for my IUI package and my RE was standing at the desk talking to the receptionist. I was very close to saying "I can't wait for you to get me pregnant!!!" but I thought better of it and settled for a "Hello". I must warn everyone that I may be a little bit of a B!tch on this medication...so consider yourself warned!!

Realistically I know that this will probably not work the first time, but I feel like I am finally being proactive! I am also relieved that my intuition (of me not ovulating) was correct. It feels really good to have an official diagnosis! So your thoughts and prayers would be appreciated! You can direct them to my ovaries and follicles if you would like.
GROW FOLLIES GROW!!!!
