Thanks for the check in @rubysi. How was your New year? 

Yeah, cd 2 sucks. I didn't have any hope for this cycle, but at least my body is working. We are having to take more time off meds to save for IUI. It's going to be a bitch to pay for all of it and the meds and travel, etc. Bleh!! IF is so freaking expensive!! It's ridiculous. Ugh!!

QOTW: I have decided to let go this year. This means I am just going to "be" as it were. I am hoping/praying for an easier year. 

Edit: I always forget the QOTW!!

Hi ladies Thanks for the check in @rubysi! Hope you had a good new year Doing ok. 2nd cycle back to ttc with ntnp. Fingers crossed for this month. Trigger warning, friend mentioned: I have a good friends shower coming up at the end of the month. I've been avoiding a lot of stuff, but it is a bit easier to suck it up for her and put my big girl pants on. She had a 2nd tri loss last spring, so I am so happy for her rainbow. yes! Learning lots of new stuff in the lab at work hoping I can do a bit more this week! I'm not great with my hands, so it's a challenge, but it will be good for so many other things. Qotw: I'm making plans as if we aren't ntnp. It's a new fiscal year at work and I am making plans that I will be there all year and booking time off. I'm also back to my regular training for my races in July. Hoping to be pregnant, but I don't want to miss out because I might be. I spent last year living in "maybe", I don't want that for this year

I think it is a good idea to live your life in the now and make adjustments when it is nessesary. I was also living in the "maybe" and wished I hadn't. I don't know why but every time I see the phrase "girl pants" I envision a girl with a pout literally hiking her pants up... it makes me giggle. I hope the shower isn't too hard for you.

Hugs.

So I had my it has been 6 months with the RE and no success appointment today. The not so surprising answer is there is no further testing to be done. The suggested ivf, which does bring me to tears because the cost is so high, and uncovered. I made dh come because I cannot think properly at the Dr's office... bad white coat sufferer here. The dr has requested I lose 10% of my body weight healthily and suggested dh do the same. For the next 2 months we will do letrozole and TI and figure out if we want to and or financially continue. Metformin and high dose vitamin d. This is not a good start for 2015.

QOTW : I am working on doing the things I enjoy. Working on and planing my garden, playing video games, and laughing. Laughing always makes me feel better.

@rubysi ((Hugs)) I am so sorry for that WTF appointment. It sucks so much. I hate that for you. I hope that y'all come an answer you are both happy with.

Hey all. I've spoken to a realtor but not in love with any of the 34 houses available... I'm on cd 20 and still waiting to O. Having a rough night, read some AWFUL things on Facebook, I won't share the horror with y'all. DH is snoring peaceful at my side he has to be up in less than an hour for work and I'm supposed to go with him so I can take his car to the shop. I still haven't gotten any sleep.

QOTW: I'm slowly updating my wardrobe. I've had most of my clothes for 5+ years and they just don't fit correctly anymore. I never feel "put together." Doesn't help that I hate shopping because nothing fits properly anyways.

I am sorry none of the houses available are what you are looking for, hopefully the right one will be available soon. I hate sleepless nights... looks like there might be a nap in your future. A wardrobe update sounds like a good plan. I hate shopping too, but it is a nessesary evil.

I'm not stressed out about the houses, the market changes daily so I'm sure the right house will pop up soon. I'm trying not to be super picky, it's not like we are buying. I only have 2 must haves; a decent sized kitchen, preferably not galley style and a good size fenced backyard for the pups. You would think that wouldn't be too hard to accomplish. No naps for me, too much to accomplish today.

@rubysi‌ sorry about your appointment

@crimpgirl‌ I've decided the same thing. I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a wedding in July and have decided I'm just going to plan for it as if we aren't trying. If Im lucky enough to get a bfp before then I'll make adjustments. Until then I'm just going to plan on having a fabulous time with my best friend!

@rubysi boo to ivf being so expensive. I hate the idea of you spending your hard earned savings on it.

It is worse it would be debt not savings.
