Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving weekend and survived possible baby/family situations! AF greeted me late Thursday night a few days early, but she didn't stop me from doing a little shopping Friday morning! I'm planning on telling DH tonight that this month we are doing it like rabbits, no questions asked!
QOTD: Do you have a blog? If so, link please! If not, are you gonna start one?! Yes I do have a blog. I've been writing on it since March of 2008. I'm not the most exciting writer, nor do I have a super exciting life, but it helps me get out what I'm feeling related to infertility! Follow along if you'd like! Link is below in siggie.
ps- I feel like I'm running out of ideas for qotd, so if you think of anything you want me to ask our little group, let me know!! thanks!
Re: ***Non-IUI/IVF Check-In***
Thanksgiving was OK. One of my aunt's came to my parents' house b/c she was convinced I was planning to announce that I was KU, and she didn't want to miss it. Ah, if only I had something to announce. But instead, AF came to visit on Thanksgiving, so it's on to medicated cycle #2.
QOTD: Yes, I have a blog, but I don't write about my IF issues on it. I started it b/c DH & I were training for a marathon, but my RE has recommended that I stop training while TTC since I wasn't an avid runner before. So, since all of my friends/family have the link to the blog, I don't use it for more private thoughts. I may start another one, though, for IF issues.
Still plugging along on my never-ending cycle... on CD92 now I think. I'm just going to wait it out through the holidays. I have an appt in early January with a new RE since mine left the practice, so I'm just going to wait and see him then if I haven't already gotten AF by then. That's the plan at least.
QOTD: I started a blog when we were in the process of building our first house and have only updated it like twice since we moved in last year. I don't blog about life or IF... I'm just not that interesting. If/when I have kids, I can see having a blog to update with pictures and goings-on since my family is out of state, but not when it's just the 2 of us. I don't really have anything to say that anyone would want to read!
I had a good Thanksgiving. I am waiting for AF to start any minute, but this cycle is being weird. My temps indicate no PG, but at least I have made it to CD 13, which is long and rare for me.
I do not have a TTC blog. I don't think I will start one. Our family does not know about our journey and I don't think we will share until I am PG or have the foster or adoption process underway.
Future QOTDs: What IF steps have you been through? What IF steps are coming up? What is playing into your non-IUI/IVF decision? Would you ever consider IUI/IVF? How long have you been TTC? How many kids would you like to have?
AF showed this morning and I think that was our last non IUI/IVF cycle. I called to schedule my HSG today and then I think it's on to IUI either this cycle or next. Kind of sad but kind of exciting all at the same time.
QOTD: Yes, I have a blog and it's linked in my siggy, but it's private. It's not really that exciting, more like a place for me to gripe and complain about this IF journey. If anyone wants to follow, just let me know.
