Bree and Izy: Thanks! After I posted the first comment I had went to the doctor for my first "check up" since being on the new meds. We talked about TTC, when the day comes. My main concern was my ability to ovulate. She said with my health, weight, etc. that ovulation was not a problem (with the help of drugs). This made me feel so much better! I guess it's not such a huge jump for me, the thought of conception...since I knew that I would be doing AI or IVF, etc. Neither I nor my partner would be comfortable with a known donor, so our route of conception will certainly be more medicinal.
I am almost to nursing school, so I am focusing on that right now. I would love to start a family sooner, but I want to finish school and then work on that. With that being said, I have taken so many classes on the human body that I think I know TOO much! My understanding is that my body is producing progesterone (since I am having a period) but my doctor explained that it's not consistent (hence the two periods a month). So the progesterone will keep my levels at a consistent level, and after 3 months of this therapy I will go back and we will see if my body kicks into gear and does it on it's own. Whew. One final thought: although I definitely want to be the one to carry the child, I am not opposed to using my partner's egg. So one benefit to being a same sex couple is that I have a healthy egg supplier...and my oven can cook our baby!
