Happy Monday... with interesting facts about PCOS, ttc, and misscarriage

Hey yall!

I must say I'm not a fan of Mondays or early mornings, but today it was both. After a fairly quiet weekend, although I worked on Saturday, I had to go in this morning for the last beta test I'll see in a while. I had to get up bright and early, when it was still dark outside (somehow that's just not natural...lol), and had to go get blood drawn before going into work this morning. I'll have the result tomorrow at about noon, and they should be back to that non-pregnant value :(

I am somewhat relieved because the bleeding did stop altogether and it seems I won't need a D&C, whew!!!
But I have been reading up on things and I'm starting to wonder why in God's name would the doctors that we've seen let us conceive on our own, when there are so many complications with PCOS and undocumented ovulation. I'm still excited that we were able to get pregnant, but it's stupid that I had to go through a misscarriage just for the heck of it.

I've learned 2 very important things this weekend, by reading a great book, and they are:

1. Ovulation that happens after day 20 of the cycle (which is likely for me, since I have a 32-day cycle) produces eggs that are not viable and that lead to misscarriage.
2. Conception that occurs later than 12 hours after ovulation is at risk for misscarriage, because the egg begins to desintegrate. So sex should happen before, but definetely not after, because it would just be pointless.

So now I go back to the issue of doctors..... what kind of stupid cruel joke is this to subject us to such disappointment, and a possible D&C just for kicks? Isn't it simpler to just tell us to be patient and not try while we're only on Metformin, before we had a chance to document ovulation, and just start trying when we start the Clomid treatment? Now we're put back a few months, but I decided to take some important steps during this time in educating myself more and making sure we go about this proccess the right way. I'm starting a BBT chart, and getting an ovulation monitor and when it's time to start trying again, we'll be sure to do this right.

Don't get me wrong, I know there's millions of other reasons things could've went south for, but why not try to eliminate the reasons that are in our power to control, rather that trusting everything to faith?

Hope everyone is having a brilliant week and Happy Monday!!!
