Back from a trip and wanted to say hi ***LO mentioned*** (also update inside)

Hi ladies. I've been gone since last Thursday. Went to Orlando for work and DH came with me and we did Disney over the weekend. It was our first time away together in a very long time since he works full time and goes to law school. He finished his last exam last week so we had a quick getaway before he starts studying for the bar exam. It was very nice to get away, but we missed DD a ton. It was our first time leaving her for that long. I felt a little guilty for not bringing her to DisneyWorld but she's 20 months and won't remember it. Ended up having a little too much fun at Epcot but it was worth it.

Anyway, I saw my OB for some follow up last week regarding spotting in my follicular phase. She wants to test my progesterone levels and then get a u/s after AF. I was supposed to get a blood draw this morning at 9-10 dpo (was gone at 7 dpo) but AF decided to be a BIATCH and show up Sunday morning (Happy Mother's Day and travel home day to me). So that gives me like an 8-9 LP this past cycle when I had been hopeful with a 12 day LP the previous cycle. Pretty much killed any hopes I had that my body is evening out. The reason for the different dpo days is b/c I could have had a late O on CD21 but FF shows my O on CD22. I am not convinced my temp on CD22 is accurate.

Anyway, called the OB this morning and she wants to see me for the u/s and an office visit next week so I guess we'll come up with a new plan then. We are hoping to start TTC again next month but we'll just see what she says.

Welcome back, dear, and I'm glad you had a nice trip! My DH graduated law school and took the bar last summer so I vividly remember what I crazy time that can be and how important it is to make time for each other when you can. GL with the OB visit and u/s next week! I hope you get some answers so that you can figure out what's going on with your cycle. ((hugs))

**DS Mentioned**

 Welcome back! I am glad you had a great trip. Don't feel to guilty about not taking your DD to Disney. We had to take DS there for a family wedding last yeat at 14 months and it was not much fun. Having him with us totally limited the things we could do and how long we could be at the parks. All he wanted to do was walk on his own and he had no interest in waiting in line for the few rides he could actually go on.

I am sorry it looks like you had another short LP. My cycles were back to 24-26 days long and then the last one was only 21 days. I hope your doctor has a good plan for you and that you can TTC next cycle.

Thanks, ladies. Apprehensive about what is happening going forward but that's the only place to go - forward. It's good to be back. I missed you all. No really, I did.
