Inspirational Quote: I spent a lot of time near the ocean this weekend, and was reminded by a good friend of this quote: "A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner."- Anonymous

QOTW: I was thinking of each and every one of you yesterday.  For some yesterday may have been painful, for others it may have been bearable with family by your side.  How did you spend the weekend/Mother's Day?

This week/weekend was a roller coaster for me.  And yesterday was 50/50.  The morning was great, the afternoon terrible and the evening "so-so". My parents and sisters were really loving, and it was wonderful to spend the whole day with my mom.  But, MH was really not supportive and decided instead of being supportive to me yesterday he would sleep for the majority of the day. It was depressing and frustrating.

We went out to dinner at this lovely place by the ocean with the whole family which was really nice, despite the fact that I was constantly annoyed with MH.

I'm really loving that quote that I shared.  A dear friend reminded me of that this weekend, and I just keep repeating it in my head like a new mantra.  I guess if we never faced adversity or hard times then we'd never grow and be the wonderful people we are meant to be.  You don't really appreciate true happiness without unhappiness first.

Hi kps, I'm sorry yesterday was so tough for you.

big_noise- 4 (or 5)DPO on the day of check-in and will saw the Dr on the day of check-in for testing and to set a plan.  Waiting to start TTC until meeting with the doctor.

***LO mentioned in my update***

Lots has changed since last week. I had a great appt. with my Dr. last week and had plans to go in for a progesterone blood draw this morning, a u/s after my period and she gave us the green light to TTC next month. We still weren't sure if we were going to wait another month or not b/c of DH's schedule but were leaning towards yes. She was very positive about trying acupuncture, so I plan to call them about that today.

Then DH and I left for a work trip for me to Orlando. It was our first trip away from DD and the first time in a VERY long time my DH has been anywhere. He literally finished his last law school final last Monday. So we had a great weekend away, did Disney (his first trip there), etc. and really enjoyed ourselves. Then Mother's Day, I'm ready to get home and see DD. Woke up feeling horrible and AF arrived within an hour. I was only 8, maybe 9 dpo (could have been a late in the day O). And I'd had a rough night the previous night trying to find something decent for dinner that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I tend to eat very healthy, non-heavy food and I was kind of over eating out by Sat. night. It was a rough day of cramping and feeling pretty down about our TTC prospects. DH was super nice to me, but I was ready to get home and give DD a squeeze. And when we did get home, she was running a fever. So today I'm trying to work and get ready for a huge day-long meeting tomorrow with a sick kid, I feel like junk (oh and did I mention I'm out of tampons so I've had to resort to post-m/c pads b/c I can't get to Target until tonight?) and am super depressed about my stupid body.

Cancelled my blood draw for this morning and then called and my OB wants me to come in for the u/s next Thursday and an office visit so I guess we'll come up with a new plan then. I had been feeling hopeful about my cycles evening out but an 8 day LP is a very BAD sign.

ETA: I guess the QOTW is described above. Def. the highlight was getting home to see DD.

Hi ladies.  I had my SHG on Wednesday, and apparently I have a Septate Uterus.  So I need to have a Hysteroscopy to remove the septum.  That'll be CD5-10 next cycle, and we're TTA until then, because there's an increased risk of m/c (and it's probably what caused mine).  And then after the surgery, there's no sex for a week, so we may miss that cycle, too.

Not to mention, DH's SA was disappointing, and my AMH was low/low-normal.  Ugh. 

Anyway, after that, the plan is still Femara + IUI... probably early July.

QOTW: We spent the day in bed.  No, really.  We laid in bed and watched lots of TV and did absolutely nothing.  It was fabulous. 

StephNordenmalm

Hey Ladies, 

As of last Wed.  my levels were down in the 30's. Hoping that as of now I am back to zero however he didnt want to send me for another test he said they had dropped off enough.  As of this moment were TTA my doctor wants me to wait a cycle to get some testing done.  So now were just waiting for AF to show up.  I hope it doesnt take as long as it did after my D&C.  FX

Saturday my mom came into town, we went to sea world with one of my BF who is currently pregnant.  It was a little tough but i did my best to enjoy the day. Mothers day was nice my mom and MIL came over for brunch.  Then DH and I laid around for the rest of the day.  It was nice and relaxing just what I needed.   

EKGibs

sorry I'm just now commenting. I swear my bump doesn't show all the posts b/c I was thinking that there wasn't an August angels check in this week until now as I'm bored & looking back through posts. anyway no new updates here. AF showed up on time & now I'm on CD11. I've decided not to take clomid anymore & just see what happens. thats all here!
