I hate dealing with scheduling things when no one answers the phone or ever calls back. So I just called again, and someone answered! Turns out the regular scheduler is away and someone is filling in and she actually answers the phone. Unfortunately, there are still no appointments open. So I will continue waiting. Hopefully by the end of next week I will either 1) have an appointment for surgery and/or 2) be pregnant naturally (HAHAHA). Keep your fingers crossed!
Oh, so I temped for a few months and then did OPKs for two months, using cheap testing strips I got from the interwebs. Temping was somewhat inconclusive, but my temperatures at the end of my cycle were definitely higher than the beginning, and there was a definite drop-off right before my period, indicating that I had in fact ovulated (I think). Based on my charts, the first doctor I saw, an ob-gyn resident, seemed to think I was ovulating around CD 24 or 25. I asked her if that was normal, and she had no idea. I never got a positive using the OPKs, but I don't know if that was user error, the fact that they are a cheap internet purchase, or because I never in fact ovulated. I'm a fairly rational, scientific person. I want to continue testing, both temperature and using the rest of my leftover pee sticks and/or buying better ones (Clear Blue?) online. My husband is adamantly against this. He thinks we should just let the doctors figure it all out for us and stop worrying about it.
I guess I'll wait until I have surgery and see what happens. But I hate not knowing what's going on.
