Just wanted to share a quick funny story. DH left for his trip this morning, and we arranged a quickie while he was packing. I thought that I had shut our room door and latched it, but our little dog nosed her way in and sat on the bed while all this was happening. I thought that it would be OVER once I heard her snarfling around the bed! It ended up being OK.
Cross your fingers that CD10 and CD19 work this month! Haha.

@URMySunshine77 - We used to call our little dog 'the best form of birth control' because she was so nosy, and we lived in an efficiency with no way to shut her out.

@CaraH That's hilarious and horrible at the same time. :-)

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from. Jen from New York 2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? TTC #1 since 3/14 3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? Been seeing our RE for about 3 months. Haven't been able to start any meds because either my estrogen is elevated, or my FSH is high. Have my 3 day bloods/sono tomorrow to determine next step. He has diagnosed me with DOR and suggested IVF, whcih we are supposed to start next month. Crossing fingers that all my bloods come back in range tomorrow so we can give IUI at least one shot. Just started charting with this cycle. Haven been doing acupuncture for a few weeks, also.
4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? AF came yesterday
5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) Hopeful...it's the only choice.
2. TTC# 1 for DH and I together, #2 for each of us.
3. Just TTC for now. Just started in May so we aren't looking at infertility just yet. Had fertility issues when TTC DS but that was 12 years ago. Doc wants to wait and see what happens for now.
4. Only on CD-2 of Cycle 2.
5. Since it is a brand new cycle I am optimistic right now.
QOTW: What is your favorite comfort food? It depends. I love Mexican and make my taco sauce from scratch. I don't use packet seasoning. It is still really quick and easy and I find myself falling back on making tacos lately. That may change in a week.
@KirstenAlecia I just want to give you some hugs. Oh boy..moving to Philly? Wow that's drastic.. I'm sorry. Is his job taking him there? I wouldn't want to leave either On a good note your only 4 hrs or so from me here in Pittsburgh lol
