Re: 3T Check In
Update: nothing. BFN today so I'll probably start Provera tonight. I keep putting it off b/c I keep spotting and have had a little cramping. Blah.
QOTW: Amandaf is awesome because (among many other reason!) she took over this check-in for me
ETA: She's also very ''real'', which I appreciate! I am rooting for you, doll!
FFC - I'm drinking a Dr. Pepper.. oops
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.
Rockabye is one of the sweetest people I've met through these boards. She is always SO respectful of differences in opinions and never makes me feel guilty for choices I've made in my journey. Even if it's not something she would choose for herself.

Now we are officially "unexplained infertility" I'm not a fan of that phrase but it is where we are.
I think all of you are very real and say how you feel, which makes me stay on this board.
@Aimothy has done a beyond amazing job at losing weight. She is truly and inspiration to me and should be to everyone on this board.
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
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!!~~
Sewilson- she is always supportive and kind. It's also comforting to have someone in a similar place as mean since we started TTC at the sand time. Her posts are usually questions that I have too.

@abt8113 - I'm glad we are at the same place together too. In an odd way it's comforting to know. Let me know if you ever have any questions that you think I can help with!

@aimothy - thank you for the kind words.. they made my day. Seriously.
Mad love and respect for you, lady!
@amandaf6383 - yay for having the appointment set! You can totally do that 10-15lbs
@sewilson33 - SO glad the HSG came back clear! Now you can at least put that behind you and move forward

QOTW: I don't know who is above me, so I'll post about RAB, the last poster I saw. She is always offering meaningful contributions, and she is very sincere.
FFC: I'm dreading our Easter weekend. We have to see BIL and new baby. DH called him to ask if he and his wife could try to be sensitive to us given our situation. His response? "I don't know what you expect us to do. People have babies. You need to deal with it." Asshole.

We are likely going to just take some down time after that and get started on official adoption business in 6-12 months. We originally didn't want to wait that long, but we are realizing now that we need the breather.
@aimothy you always make me laugh. Also I know plenty of people you could send poop to.
