Hey Guys!
I've totally been reading and am super super excited and whatnot (YAY ANNE!) but there is really just nothing going on in this neck of the woods...
I'm just about done Christmas shopping, thank God! Eddie and I have been laying low at work and home, just trying to destress and enjoy one another. We've taken this month to just be us and embrace the fact that we may or may not have children. I haven't taken a temp, checked cm, or calculated when would or wouldn't be good for us to shake our groove things. We've been eating better, and just really honestly living outside of the ttc world (and what a relief it has been!).
However, that being said...my last cycle was Oct. 25 (although I didn't take clomid this month, so I don't even know if I ovulated more or less if it's on it's way or not coming at all). So... the majority of my cycles were 35+ days, therefore leaving me to anticipate it's arrival any day now :) And, the psycho-samatic symptoms this month are: smelling a lot of stuff I wouldn't normally smell, constipation (oh baby!), and breast tenderness. I've also had three bouts of IBS this week, which I haven't had in forever.
Dh has a dr. appt for a referal to get an SA monday. I'll probably post more after that. I am going to make an appointment soon with my new ob/gyn and then get a referal for an RE for sometime in January. At that point, we'll follow through on really truly trying to conceive, to the extreme!
Everyone... keep posting, I'll keep reading and praying! :)
Anj-you're so sweet, thank you for keeping us in your prayers
Anne- u b so lucky. take care of that cannoli pierogi!
Jenn-glad to see you're back... keep up the good work!
Helen-I understand completely... my cousin's fianse thinks I'm a whack job for ttc whilest I have to stand up in her wedding in less than a year (less than 9mon to be exact!)
Shannon-Where are you guys at that you got 12 inches of snow?! We were supposed to get that much but ended up with barely an inch :)
Tiffany- Sorry about the ivy. Hope you guys get better soon!
Vanessa-Hope you keep writing, it's good to get more perspectives!
