Re: 3T Check In
I will be doing my HSG either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Depending on the results: I am going to either ask the RE about an IUI this month (if results come back clear with no mucus blockage or anything else). If they find any blockage or mucus build up we will try naturally. DH and I discussed this and we are both comfortable with this plan, now I have to discuss it with RE.
QOTW: Blog - TN is really the only blog I particpate with. Sometimes when I'm really bored I'll check out BabyCenter but it is too busy for me to enjoy.
Otherwise I stalk people.com or usmagazine.
FFC/AW: I've gained so much weight over the past 3 months from emotional eating that none of my clothes fit me. I refuse to buy any new pants because I am will not let 3T get the best of me. I can't crash diet like we did last year it caused too many problems with my digestive system. So, I started walking 3-4 days a week and I am hoping walking and cutting out junk food will show me some results. Also, my GF wants me to do a mini marathon with her in May so that is my goal right now.

DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
QOTD: I read YHL but then I also flip over to GOMI to see them rag on YHL and Bower Power. I can't help reading the snark! My other time suck isn't a blog, it's the ClickinMoms forum.
AW: Spring Break is next week! The conversations at school have turned to "Doing anything exciting over break?". I just smile and say "nothing really, just relaxing". While secretly I'm thinking, nothing major, just making a baby!

Update: Well, I thought AF showed, but she hasn't shown her head since so I'm confused. I'm expecting her to reappear sometime today or tomorrow. If not, then I really have no idea what's going on.
QOTW: Oddee.com (probably NSFW.. most things are totally ok, but the ads on the side can be risque' at times), Wimp.com, and People.com
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.
@sewilson33 So sorry AF reared her ugly head.
@looneylife So many things crossed for you with this cycle. I hope this is it.
Update: Just waiting for AF to show. Started spotting a bit this morning, so she'll probably be here in a couple days. We discussed trying this next cycle now that I would have coverage to move to the RE to help me stay pregnant, but for once I'm the one saying I'm not ready.
QOTD: Hmm, probably here or Pinterest. I love going over to TB and lurking.
FFC: I just got these cloth diapers from a friend who decided not to use them with her son anymore. Yes, I officially have a full rubbermaid tub of baby stuff in my attic. No, I don't give a sh*t if it will be 2-3 years before they get used.

@Brij2006 - I have a hutch in my basement that has baby clothes, toys, books, shoes etc in it from my nephews. My SIL was going to donate them to salvation army and I took them without telling anyone.

QOTW: I've been reading a lot if fashion blogs lately trying to up my game. I've also been following toneitup for workouts. It's easier for me to use this than making up my own workouts.
Aw; today is our anniversary! We are taking off tomorrow for hill country and wine tastings (if I continue to test negative). Do you think that is okay? We typically share a tasting and don't drink much more than that. I just don't want to do anything wrong.

Abt- happy anniversary!
Island- have fun in Boston!
2nd beta came back at 4, so confirmed chemical. I'll go in for a bunch of tests, including a saline sonohystogram sometime between cd5-11. Figuring out how to pay for ivf in the meantime. And drinking.
