C#4, CD41, 8DPO
Happy Monday!
Well, I am glad to be in the post-O phase of my cycle right now. Also glad to be at 8DPO, since my LP was so short last month that I AF arrived after only 7 days. So, whether I am pregnant or not, I suppose 8 DPO is as good a place to be as any right now. I really don't feel any symptoms, so I won't be holding my breath. If I make it to 12DPO with high temps., I will definitely test this weekend. I also took some steps over the past week that have made me feel more "in control" (to whatever extent I can be) of my TTC plan:
1. I called my gynecologist and made an appointment for Feb. 27th. I was hoping it might be about a week earlier, because if she decided to put me on Clomid or anything I could hit it at the right time in my cycle. But, I'll take what I can get!
2. I also talked to a friend from church yesterday about my problems. I have been meaning to talk to her for a while, but she's an ob/gyn and is often on-call on Sundays, so I don't see her much. At any rate, I asked her if I could come in to talk to her, and she was so sweet, she talked with me right at church. I briefly told her what was happening, and right away she said, "It sounds like you need Clomid. Your cycles are too long." Can I just tell you how much better I felt to hear that? I mean, nobody loves to hear that they need help ttc, but to have someone say to me that she knew how I was feeling and basically confirm that I wasn't nuts for thinking that something wasn't right - it made me feel lots better. She also said that she'd offer her opinin whenever I wanted it, as a doctor and as someone who'd struggled with ttc. She has a daughter who is over a year old, and I found out that she was conceived via IVF.
So, that's what's going on in terms of ttc. I will go to my doctor, see what she says, and then consult my friend again if I don't feel good about the response I get. My doctor is very nice, so I didn't want to go and make an appointment with another one without first going back to her. I just feel better knowing that I have a plan, you know?
Other than that, not much new or exciting around here. I painted our bedroom last week. It was white and I went with sage green. It turned out really cute! My mom also made those really cute, sheer, pocket curtains (Pottery Barn style, but much cheaper) and I got cute fabric flowers to put in the pockets. We also got a new kitchen table and chairs (after much looking), so that was nice. After almost a year, our house is finally looking more cozy.
Next week DH and I both have a week off of school, which is pretty amazing since we're in two different districts. So we are going to finish up some house projects and take some fun day trips. I'm really looking forward to it! In fact, if there's no exciting news from me (but please, please, let there be exciting news...!), I will probably just take a week off from my entries.
Until then, girls, I am wishing everyone the most positive of positive thoughts!
Take Care,
Laura
