Re: 3T Check In!

  • Not much going on here.  I am kind of trying to take an emotional break and not focus on TTC this month.  I am still temping because I am still going to acupuncture.  But no OPKs or anything.  I want to make sure I am still at least ovulating.  Which I pray I am!

    I am most looking forward to Thanksgiving!  And all the things I can cook with pumpkin!

  • Update: CD 6, second day of Clomid. DH and I decided that if this cycle fails, we're only willing to do one more round of Clomid (5 rounds total) before moving on to IVF, regardless of how many IUIs we're actually able to do (TI is enough, according to our RE). Oh, and my parents offered to help pay for IVF and insisted we let them know if we need help. We don't/won't, but it's so sweet of them to offer.

    QOTW: I can't wait for the food. I love baking in the fall, and I only use my crockpot in the fall and winter. I can't wait to not cook. In fact, I'm trying to get DH to agree to buy me a second crockpot so I can have one in the wash and one in use!

    FFC: I really don't want to go to a party at my ILs' where SIL will be 7 months pregnant. We have to go, though. Ugh. I just hope she STFU (she knows what we're going through and isn't exactly sensitive about it. The stories I could tell you...)
    TTC #1 since Feb. '12. dx: "unexplained" IF
    After 2 shitty IVF cycles and 1 loss at 6+2 (EDD 11/7/14), DH and I are pursuing DIA.
    11/17/2014 - ACTIVE AND WAITING!

  • Update: We've decided after a 6 month break to start giving a shit again, so I got some OPKs and I'm going to start peeing on things again. If we have to try IUI again this winter, at least we will have put in another effort.

    QOTW: The weather and the colours. And, my parents live here for 3 months in the fall and I LOVE that.

    QOTW: I'm looking forward to going to Montana! we have a friends wedding at the end of September and i'm super excited because it also coincides with our anniversary so its a two in one trip!

  • Update:  Nothing new here.  I did get AF on my own this month so that's something I guess.  I've still got weight to lose but I'm finally not bs-ing my way around that so I'm hoping it'll start to come off fairly quickly.

    QOTW:  My birthday, our anniversary and Halloween!

  • Good morning ladies sorry for the late update. Good luck to those who need it and hugs to those who need it. And of course congrats to those he needed to!
    Cycle day one was yesterday. I get blood work today and they, as usual, are not informing me of the exact date so I can plan schedule at work, But from reading the paper work I believe I start birth-control on Sunday and Lupron shots and every other day monitoring that point. They will be contacting you today so hopefully we don't just keep playing phone tag. As my old friend Mario says, "here we go!"
