I have breast cancer

Well that title is decieving, I dont. Which means I should state the title is a lie. I did however finally get a call from my OB Dr.Wust and he asked if I was "happy just trying month to month..." or "would I like medical intervention.." Of course I was like MAKE ME PREGNANT! I was seven days into my new cycle and he said it might be a little late for this month, but we will try anyhow. So my hopes arent too high for finding out this month, but maybe next month. I was perscribed Tamoxifen, which is where my title comes from, google it and you will read how it is a breast cancer drug people take when they've already had breast cancer to try to prevent it from returning or something. Dr.Wust assured me I was not being given chemotherapy. Im suppose to take 3 a day for days 5 through 9 of my cycle. But I will be taking them for days 7 through 11 so I still hope it works. Its kinda like clomid I guess, but I was doing some reading and the studies dont show significant increase in pregnancies necessarily, but there is an increase in ovulation. So hopefully for me it will do both, make me ovulate (which he confirmed I havent been doing) and allow a pregnancy. After completion of the drug I have to go in at the 10-13 day period to have my blood drawn and my progesterone levels checked. I also read the increase of multiple pregnancies is like less than 1% which is also a good thing. I really really want to be pregnant.. so I have cut all caffeine from my diet, have changed my diet ( starting now more drastically then before... not a diet, but smaller portion sizes and better decisions) Once my sprite 12pk is gone I will be removing all pop too. I was trying to find the dancing with starts workout video but couldnt find it at target or walmart. I plan on doing that tape too to help get some exercise in my life! Still taking my temperatures and now taking a prenatal and folic acid. sooo that is the most recent update of my Quest for a Princess as I just decided it should be named.
On another happy note. Someone made my day and dropped their evening Anatomy and Physiology 1 and so I only have to drive to century 2 days a week and continue to work my 7 to 230 shift which I love. With my Doctor that actually dont mind working for. Life at this moment is good. ( yesterday night lifes moments sucked balls.)

Give me a heart attack why don't you!?!?! Geez. Well, I'm glad there isn't as much a chance for multiples. That's scary. What happened yesterday night?
