So August is not doing me any favors! I started my triple dose of Letrozole, which went successfully I think. I can't say that I had any negative side effects. But my father has been sick and we have been in and out of doctors offices and hospitals for over a week now. I am exhausted and feel like I am neglecting things at home, which my husband is very understanding about.
So with all of this going on, today is my cycle day 11. I began the LH surge tests today. Negative, of course. I never ovulate this early in my cycle. So I will try my best to remember to pee in a cup tomorrow and dip the stick!
Our everyday struggles and victories, including everything about our Home Study and hopeful adoption.

The next journey has begun
After a much needed break from all things "baby", we have decided to being again. I visited my new OBGYN in June for "routine maintenance" aka Pap exam, which was normal. The visit was great though, I mean, I have never felt as comfortable at one of these appointments as I did this time with this doctor and staff. (This is my third Gyno.) He even cracked jokes with me. It was great... anyway, I had a good visit, everything looked fine, and in the infertility department he said "There's nothing else I can do for you...(awkward moment, when my crazy mind is thinking 'well, there is... but...'), you should really follow up with your RE. And I have.
I made an appointment with my RE. We sat down and she discussed all the wonderful things, like needing to try a new donor, me having ancient eggs being that I'm 35, and upping my Letrozole/Femara by 3. (And, yes, this is also used to treat breast cancer patients.) She also added some Pre-conception supplements, Theralogix NeoQ10 and TheraCore.
I started taking the supps over 3 weeks ago. I did learn that I have to take them at night and not lunchtime because they make me feel bloated. Not a big deal, just changed the reminder on my Glow app.
Yesterday was the first night that I took the 3 Letrozole... so far today I do not feel crazy or hopped up on hormones. I will keep you posted.
