Trying in the Bush

Our journey as we try to bring a miracle to life while living in a remote bush village in Alaska.

This month has proved to be another month of ups and downs.  Our doctor decided to do a test run of clomid to see if I would ovulate on my own with it, so I started 50mgs on day 3-7 and then began testing with an opk on day 8...I was certain nothing would come of it, and day after day of negatives confirmed my fears.  Having PCOS means that tests like OPK's as well as pregnancy tests, don't work right, positives are just not something I get, ever.  Then day 22 the impossible happened.. I found myself staring down at a smiley face!! Woohoo! Success!!


As giddy as I was you would have thought it was a positive pregnancy test!  I called my doctor's office as soon as it opened (from school, I was substituting that day for the science/math teacher) and then the coaster plummeted back down....the doctor wants to do another trial run this next cycle as well, he won't be available to do an insemination and he wants to make sure I am regular.  I explained that according to my temps I always ovulate around day 22..but that was that, he was going to be out of town and we would have to wait until December's cycle to do an insem.  I am so tired of waiting.. I understand it, but hate it... then talked to hubby and he suggested that we do an in home insemination this month...I thought about it and thought, why not? No harm would be done, worse case scenario we don't get pregnant and it's money down the drain, but we both decided it was worth the try..there are no guarantees even doing it in the doctor's office that it will take..so this next month is it.. we will officially be trying....and if it doesn't work (and I am thinking positive thoughts right now.. one shot wonder!) then we will be trying the following month with the doctor!  Wish us luck!
