Well, it's day 9, and I just talked to the doctor/made a followup appointment.
Phil and I are going in on Wednesday to discuss the next steps / additional testing that will be necessary before moving onto injectables.
She said "since you won't ovulate on your own this month, we'll probably have to blah blah blah..."
I thought that was pretty pessimistic. Maybe I WILL ovulate on my own! Who knows? The combo of herbs and acupuncture and clean eating might help my body to be normal. I NEED to be optimistic about this.
Talk to you soon...

Words to Live By
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
