CD7

Hey everyone! I'm currently on cycle day 7. I started Provera on Sept. 3 and took 10 mg for 10 days. I did take it in the evenings just in case I got some of the not so pleasant symptoms. Overall, I really have no major complaints about Provera. I got a lot of menstrual type symptoms (cramping, bloating, break outs, tender breasts) but it wasn't a big deal at all. Generally it should only take 3-7 days after the last pill for your cycle to start...however my body was stubborn. My doctor had me come in for blood work 10 days after my last Provera pill after I still didn't start bleeding. I was definitely panicking at this point (thanks to google and all the horror stories online). I left work at 4 PM that day, made the 25 minute drive to my doctor, got my blood drawn and the VERY NEXT MORNING...my cycle started. I was frustrated/elated all at the same time! I thought if I had only been more patient by about 12 hours, I could've saved myself the worry. Fast forward a few days, I started Femara on Sept. 27. I also opted to take this at night because drowsiness is a pretty common symptom. I take (2) 2.5 mg pills for 5 days total. Again, I feel pretty fortunate that so far I haven't had any horrible symptoms. I have been having headaches off and on and also some leg pain...both of which are common. I feel like no matter what symptoms come by way, it's all for the greater good and it will be so worth it in the end! So hopefully, within the next week or two I will be lucky enough to get my first positive OPK and we can finally conceive this baby we've been praying oh so long for! Baby dust to all!!

Until next time!
