    Inches are truly what's important! You can lose inches without actually losing any weight since muscle both takes up less space than fat does and yet weighs more than fat does. Keep it up!  :-bd

    TTC #1 August 2014. BFP 9/26! EDD 6/9/15
    Baby A born 6/17/2015
  • Whine: Our marriage class at church brought up IF on Monday, and how to deal and cope through it. We're the only couple in the class without kids. So it was hard for us to discuss and listen to how others would handle it. It then caused us to have a heart to heart Monday night that began with me breaking down and bawling my eyes out, and realizing that H and I are not on the same page with IF (even though he said at our appointment he was ready). It is making for a pretty emotional roller coaster in the M household.

    Win: Because of our IF discussion, H has been very comforting and a lot more open about communicating his feelings with IF. It has definitely made our relationship stronger in the past couple of days, and cleared the air on some things.

  • @Flamingo86 Happy Anniversary! Any special plans?

    @sparklingdiamond Sorry about AF. She's a major biotch!

    @LuckyAngel07 Thanks. There have definitely been some long conversations about this. Since my body actually O'd last month, he now doesn't want to start the Clomid, because he thinks we have a chance of it happening naturally now. Trying to explain to a man that this is the first time I've O'd since January when we began NNT, so the odds of it happening again are pretty slim. And that it happened after 72 days of my cycle, isn't normal.  But he's pretty determined that it can happen naturally, and he wants to just "let things be" for longer now. Oh well, I'm going to respect it. I want us to be on the same page before we begin anything.

    Is your DH open to other treatments like acu and such, they can go along way to regulate your cycles without taking clomid?
