Is it working already?

It's been over a week since the surgery and things are going well for the most part.  I am back to work now and have been able to survive a full day of work and class without passing out so I think that is progress!!  I do, however, have an infection in 3 of my incision sites so I am now taking antibiotics to try to get rid of that.  I have been keeping the sites clean but I think I got the infections because I sweat at night.  I know, it's gross, but it's the hormones... I can't help it!! 
I saw Dr. S yesterday about the infections and he was so excited to hear that my cycle has begun, by itself, so soon after surgery.  I don't know if this is just a fluke or if it means that the procedure has done what it was supposed to do already.  In 3 weeks I will be getting some blood work done to check my progesterone levels which will tell us whether or not I ovulated this cycle.  Skeet's out of town for a couple of weeks so I am hoping that if I do... it doesn't happen until he gets back!!  I know it will probably take a couple of months before my egg quality starts to go up so I am not going to expect anything major to happen for a while.  I will start tracking my cycles better now to see if they are coming on time every month.  I don't want to get my hopes up too much but I keep thinking that it's about time for Skeet and I to get a break.  I'll keep you all posted!!

I hope you get feeling better soon! Take it easy! I'm excited to see what this will do with your PCOS and fertility. I think it's so neat that you found this procedure, and found an open-minded doctor to perform it! I'm excited to see how the next couple of months go!
