Hey, Everyone, I hope you all had a fun Valentines Day! Mine was good. Did all the typical Valentines Day things. You know, guys complain about having to get girls presents for valentines, when it's so easy for them. The holiday pretty much dictates: flowers, card, chocolates. No thought required! We girls don't have a that kind of privilege, we actually have to put more thought into what we give our sweethearts. I wonder what the male equivalent of flowers and chocolates would be. A video game and a bag of Doritos perhaps? I don't know....

Anyway, I've got an update. Got my test results back. Looks like I'm ovulating (good news), and my progesterone is in the normal range, but in my opinion still a bit low. My level was a 11.6 on day 21 which is good, you want it to be a 10-12, but higher is better. I talked to my cousin Tabby because she knows alot about this kind of stuff. She said that if you have a level of 10 then it means you ovulate, but it need to be at 12 for the egg to be big or developed(something like that) enough to be able to conceive. I could possibly do it with that 11.6, who knows?

I'd be more convinced if it was just a stinkin' 12! Anyway, my doctor doesn't think I need to be on progesterone now, but would definitely put me on it after I get pregnant. And he said he would prescribe me progesterone now if I thought I would feel better with it. I don't know. Even though it helped me feel alot better when I first took it, the past six months I've been using it, it seem to not be as effective. It did help just enough to take the edge off, but I've still been having depression. I think it helped me manage my anxiety better, I didn't get as panic-y. I am willing to try being without it, seeing as my levels are fine, but I know that it is something I had to be on for a while at least. I can always have him prescribe it if I feel I really need it again.

I also got my thyroid checked, and its now hyper when it used to be on the other side (hypo). Last time I got it checked, I had leveled out, but its one of those things you have to check more frequently and adjust your dosage as you need it. My doctor was going to reduce my dosage, but now wants me off of it for a month and will test it again. Hmmm, guess it will be something that I will have to try. I do think going on medication for it was something that I needed to do at the time, and do for a while. I'm kinda hoping that my body can readjust itself, it would be nice not to have to worry about taking meds. I still need my supplements, though, I know that.

Anyway, I'm super glad that I'm ovulating so I don't have to take a fertility drug for that. We will see how the next couple of months go. Hopefully, we will figure out what my body needs at this time to get pregnant!
