I refuse to sink.

Today my monthly visitor decided to once again rear her ugly head.

Can't she just go away for 9 months?!

I called to let the doctor's office know that today was cycle day 1,

but I also wanted to know the results of my most recent

AMH test.

It has been over a week and I still haven't heard anything.

When a nurse from the institute called me back,

she informed me that Dr. B was out of the country

and my file was in his mailbox waiting to be looked at.

I didn't want her to break any rules, but I wanted to know

my results, and I wanted to know NOW.

She reminded me that she was not a doctor,

but stated that my new results came back

at a level 0.70.

Not great, but I will take improvement!

She told me that she has seen patients

with much lower levels than this get pregnant,

so she had faith that they could help me too.

I got off of the phone feeling much more confident.

0.70 is by no means my ideal number,

but I'm hoping with supplements and 

a better diet of fruits and vegetables,

maybe I can up that number a little more!

This is a new cycle filled with new hopes and dreams.

I will begin taking the Femara on Saturday,

and then go for an ultrasound follow-up on August 23rd.

I will not give up.
