    Cycle Status: cd25.  I have no idea what to expect from this cycle.  I am thinking about doing femora next cycle, but I haven't decided if I'm ready for that.  And, I haven't really convinced DH anyways.  With this current cycle being a bust, I think we need a minute to recover. 

    QOTW: I like candy corn.  And my local store has these candy corn jujus that are SO GOOD.  They're like gumdrops, but candy corn flavored.

    Cycle status: either 15 or 13 dpo, based on my lazy temping and opks this month. I'm waiting on AF so we can start our first medicated IUI cycle, but AF is being a punk-ass bitch and making a late showing just to mess with me. We were TTA this cycle, so I'm not even hopeful that I could possibly be KU. Usually I have a short LP and AF would be done by now. WTF. I need to go out of town Oct. 3-5 for a work-related obligation, so already I'm thinking the timing won't work out with doing a meds + IUI cycle this month and might have to put it off another month. We'll see what the RE says when AF actually decides to show up, I guess.

    QOTW: Reeses PB cups FTW!

    CD = ? Waiting for AF, I know that much. I have all my typical post-O signs. DH has his repeat S/A tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.

    Fave candy = depends on my mood! Sometimes Reese's cups (the adhesive-wrapped kind, not the heat sealed wrapper), sometimes kit-may, sometimes snickers or m&ms. DS always chooses snickers for some reason. He doesn't even like them, so I usually have a few of those around Halloween!

    Sorry it has been a while since I last posted.  We went on vacation last week and the week before and after vacation always seem like s---storms.  

    Cycle Status:  I just put a deposit down to do fresh IVF #6!  I may be crazy!  This will likely be our last shot at having a sibling for DD.  I have a follow-up consult with the new RE on Tuesday.  I will start suppression (Ganirelix) injections about 7 dpo!  I am currently CD 4.  So, it won't be too long!

    QOTW:  Chocolate or sweet/sour things (sweet tarts, spree, etc.). I have to buy some Twix this year!
