Ok, here I am on cycle day 41 and still no AF. It appears that the PIO shot is not working for me this time - nothing is ever easy. Last time I was in this situation, I took the shot and AF arrived two days later. Well, I took the shot on Monday. It is now Friday. No spotting, nothing, nada. So I called the nurse. Guess what she said - we have to just wait. I have to wait at least 10 days after the shot before they can do anything - whatever that might be. Evidently, some times it can take as long as 10 days for it to work. So, that will put me at day 46. If nothing happens by then, I'm supposed to call her back. I don't know what the plan is after that.
By the way, I survived the baby shower yesterday - just barely. Actually, it wasn't too terrible because our department is mostly guys, so I sat at the end of the table with the guys who spent most of the time talking about movies and whatnot and basically paid very little attention to the present opening. The few women who were there are older and all have kids, so they sat next to the pregnant co-worker and ooh'd and ahh'd. I thought I was going to make it out alive until it was time to pay, and we were all lined up at the cash register. One of the women turned to me and said, "So what about you? Are you planning to have children?" It caught me so off guard that I mumbled something about how nothing is working out for us. I don't know if she misunderstood me or just didn't have a clue about what I was talking about, so she just smiled and nodded and said - "Oh, so the time's not right, right now."
And I left it at that.

The PIO shot has never worked for me overnight. The soonest has been 6 days after the shot.
UGH! UGH! UGH! I'm so sorry that you are still waiting. I just don't get why this is so fucking hard for some of us (and I find myself saying that A LOT lately).
I hate those innocent, yet gut-punching, moments when someone innocently asks whether or not we are going to have kids. Seriously, there are two reasons why someone in their mid-30s don't have kids. Either they don't want them or they are having fertility issues. And in my book neither should be up for discussion!
Sending AF vibes your way. Take care.
SUCK! So sorry. I hope AF comes for you soon.
Sorry you are still waiting, I hope AF shows up soon.
Sorry also for the rude comment. I don't understand why people think it is okay to ask these kind of questions. Privacy, please!
Argh! Rip my heart out - I swear people just fill in conversation so there are no gaps, no one really listens to each other anymore (did they ever?) Anyway, I feel for you girl.
And where the h#$$ is Auntie Flo???? I have not done the PIO to bring it on, but hoping it shows up in the next day or two.
So sweet of you to comment on my blog. I've been following your every move, but haven't commented because I didn't want you to feel obligated to come look at mine. I totally understand if it's too difficult right now. But I'm thinking of you and hoping and praying with all my might that things will finally begin to go your way. You really deserve a break. Love and hugs.
Oh the dreaded question of "Are you going to have children?" I guess people just feel it's a safe question to ask. Perhaps "yes" or "no" is all their looking for. No one can quite know the pain they are inflicting. At least you were able to maintain composure throughout the "festivities." Kudos to you!
Sorry about no AF. Hopefully she will arrive soon.

Sheesh on that clueless woman. I'm sorry for that sucker punch after you had survived the actual shower.
And come on AF. This is getting ridiculous (shaking fist at universe on your behalf).
Small talk from clueless people is only another proof that Einstein was right (again) on universe and stupidity being infinite.
As for AF - I am so sorry... I so wish you can finally catch a break soon. It is so unfair - not that THAT has anything to do with anything anyway, but still...
Hey Riley, thinking of you - hope AF has finally showed up but at least your are halfway through the 10 days if not. So sorry you keep running into these roadblocks, it just isn't fair. Good luck hon.
