Tomorrow marks two weeks until our ultrasound. I have to see the doctor tomorrow to get a note for work (yes it’s early, yes it’s necessary) and it is going to take everything I have not to bump that appointment up a little sooner (it’s scheduled for 7w3d). It’s like taking a pregnancy test. I [...]
Waiting. CD 17. Annoyed about the best laid plans… Likely going in on (stressful) work days even though I had a three day weekend based on timing of previous cycles. RE seems unperturbed by phone, so we have not gone in, though he made it clear he is around all weekend. This is one time [...]
CD 15, no +OPK, starting to go a little stir crazy. To be fair, over my nine month charting history (seven of which have included OPKs), it has only recently been the case that my OPKs turned on or before day 15. Over last spring and into the summer, they sometimes did not turn until [...]
Took a couple mile nature walk with Wonderdog today, our third such walk alone in the past month. There are multiple purposes of our walks: dog and I get exercise, we get to see the now- more-limited sunshine, I get some quiet reflective time. I also work off some of the anxiety I may be [...]
… And the livin’ is busy… At the last minute, C watched our niece last night. I was at work for most of it, but they apparently had a lovely time running errands and making dinner. C sang every great toddler song with her and pointed out the various fruits and vegetables in the store. [...]
… and sheesh it was pricey. A couple more days of pills, a couple more days of waiting, and then we get back to OPKs and more waiting. I’m not looking forward to another TWW but fortunately this time of year is super busy. Speaking of super busy, it looks like I will probably be [...]
Did some bloodwork. Learned we are overmedicating my thyroid issues. The pro is that I don’t have to take meds on weekends for the time being (which means I can eat whenever I wake up! woohoo!) The con is that I’m not sure how this will affect our next try; calling the doctor tomorrow. In [...]
So you’ll remember I had a fantastic list of plans for this planned break. So far it’s been mostly just a list, as we’ve been busy and de-stressing but not on the things I thought. We probably have just under three weeks and just about two more weekends until we’re in another TWW. One of [...]
The past few days have been a slow let down, an awkward transition from the movement of trying and the anxiety of waiting to the slower pace of pausing. The first day or so, I found myself symptom checking on a regular basis, for some reason not fully conscious of the confirmed end of the [...]
After some “what if but yeah right” spotting yesterday, CD 1 officially began today. Which meant a trip to the RE for an ultrasound and plan making. We are going to do an HSG next week just to be sure everything is in working order and use this next month as a diagnostic month with [...]
