Re: 3T Check In
QOTW- some killer stilettos and a rockin dress/outfit.
AW- I've been sick with a terrible cold and not eating much the last few days, so I've dropped a pound or two.
Update: PUPO
QOTW: new shoes always make me feel sexy. And when DH puts his arm around my waist.
FFC: I've been waiting to drop this one all week. I honestly have taken 3T as a sign that DH and I are pretty awesome people. Every time people say something about people they know facing IF, they always say something like, "They're just the nicest people. I don't know why these things happen to the most deserving people." My sister (a fertile) said this to me about her friends who are saving for adoption, and I said, "Well, no offense, but I'm in that same situation (3T), and you're not. Clearly I'm a better person than you." I said it in a joking tone, but I totally meant it.
TL;dr? Us 3Ters must be superior because this shit always happens to the nicest people.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermCreated by MyFitnessPal - Nutrition Facts For Foods
Update: My body is being weird.. AF left and I started temping again on CD 12. My temps have been high, which has NEVER ever happened. They've all been in the 97s. I don't get 97s unless I've O'ed or it's a random high temp. This makes 4 in a row in the 97s. And I had spotting/pink tinge on CD13. I'm just annoyed.
QOTW: uhhhh... nothing lately. I have no idea.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
@sweetpotato123 That stinks about spilling the meds. I would've freaked out too. Also good luck at your appointment today!
@poppies717 Pssst, you're pregnant right now.
@nfp147 Sorry you're having a rough time with your birthday, and am so sorry to hear about your friend.
@rockabye You and YH have started a new diet, correct? Maybe your higher temps are from that. Mine seem to be higher than usual when I'm being strict with the PCOS diet.
No new update here. Just waiting for O or 90 days. My Dr wants to run some blood tests if I get to 90 days, and at that time I'm going to ask about Metformin. Also attempting to get back on track with the PCOS diet since I fell off on vacation.
QOTW: What makes you feel sexy? When I've eaten right and exercised. Also a good pushup since I'm very self concious about my girls.
FFC/AW of the Week (no rules): I'm going to AW H. He hasn't been drinking with me, and has followed the PCOS diet right along with me. He's lost 20 pounds so far. This week he has ran 4 times, and we ran together on Tuesday night. I finally asked him last night what his "why" is with this. He said that he doesn't want his weight to be any factor into our IF and wants to be able to go straight into treatment without restrictions once we're debt free.
I love that man!

We started the diet in November though and I've had a cycle (or 2? I can't remember) since then. My temps were normal (meaning, low.. in the 96s) up until I took Provera and stopped temping before the period I just had. I think my body is just staging a coup d'etat. Who knows. I don't really care what my temps are as long as I ovulate!!In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

@poppies717 Praying for you every day!
@nfp147 Sorry you're having a rough time with your birthday, and so sorry about your friend. That is so sad.
Got a call in Tuesday and my OB/gyn decided we can do Clomid. Of course this was CD9, so we will start next month. We also got a referral for a RE from one of DH's coworkers. Do you think we should still get in contact with the RE and start that process or wait?
OOTW: Hot outfit and heels. Also typically when I have a recent haircut and a week of healthy eating/working out. I also feel sexy when DH makes certain comments on how I look rather than his typical daily affirmations.
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"

How are you feeling? I am so hopeful for you. When's your beta?
The beta is Monday.
I've had a headache and cramps for a few days. But my BFP and BFN cycles have felt identical so I'm not reading in to it.
I'm mostly just scared.

My first BFP was on 11dpiui (so today basically). My second was a negative on 13dpo (8dp5dt) but was positive on Day 14 which would be Sunday.
I have plans on Saturday and Sunday and a negative would make them really hard.
But finding out on Monday seems sooooo far away.

Nothing to update here...whomp whomp whomp.
I feel my sexiest after I freshly shave everything and put on a cute pair of undies.
