Any testing coming up? Continued OPKs...although it looks like I'm getting close to O! This morning's was almost a positive. I'll probably test tonight when I get home. If my body works again this month, it'll be awesome!
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) Work is still stressful because I have so much to catch up on, but barre class has been a big outlet for my stress. After next week's weekend trip to CA, I'm going to start 3 classes a week (right now I'm at 2 a week). My weight isn't going down because my eating has been crap, but I can tell I'm getting stronger.
FFC/AW of the Week (no rules): My birthday was actually pretty good. Low-key, which I needed. DH got me a really, really nice camera and a really good wok, two things I've been talking about wanting for a while. He gets me, that one.
BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017

Any testing coming up? Just started OPKs again yesterday for this cycle. Oh and I started taking Maca root last weekend.
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) Nothing bad. DHs painter should be done with the inside soon so I can help him clean and unpack next week. I've booked a couple new students and a last minute gig which is awesome.
FFC/AW of the Week (no rules): OK so when my last period came a couple weeks ago I was super bummed I wasn't pregnant, but now I'm feeling ok about it and good with life in general. I can't help but sometimes freak out about the advanced maternal age thing playing a part in it. Anyways I was talking to my neighbor who has 3 kids. She is a NICU nurse. She said she thought maybe I was already pregnant and just hadn't told anyone because she knew we started trying end of May. Well instantly she starts talking about infertility and if my OB knows about infertility and maybe I just need progesterone. Back comes my negative thoughts about my age again and maybe something is wrong with me. It wasn't until I had lunch with a good friend today that got me in a better mood today.
This is the part where FET gets really hard.
I did have some bloodwork that didn't come back awesome, so I've increased estrogen dosages and have started meds for an under-performing thyroid. I've never had these issues before, so I'm a little worried, but trying to take comfort in the fact that they're being resolved. Also, I'd started gaining weight without good reason, so I'm relieved that the thyroid was the culprit and that it can be fixed.
FET is only 11 days away. Eeeeeeeeeeeek! I'm scared and excited and everything in between. Mostly nervous.
