Well, it's a little late in the day, but I'll get this started.
PCP: Still have a stairway and back entrance filled with lead paint. Argh!
TTC: C got in three days of insemination before ovulation and starts progesterone for the first time today. Hoping she doesn't have side effects.
Re: PCP/TTC/ATP Wednesday
TTC:- I am 6DPO and working to ignore that fact so that I don't become obsessed again. I have a weird heaviness in my lower pelvis - wondering (hoping!) that might be good news, but its not really uncommon even with PMS, so trying not to read into things too much.
QOTD:- did you watch Michelle Obama's speech last night? What did you think?
She had me misty eyed - I streamed it on youtube while I was putting on my make up this morning. So poised, elegant and real. I can just imagine sitting down for a beer with her. Love her...and promptly donated to the campaign after watching it.
Right now I am just growing the babies. I am starting to stretch more and more. The way I can tell is the coloring in my tattoo is no longer solid. Sleep is coming easier and my energy no longer feels drained. I had my first feet swell yesterday as I was on them all day! Oh and M is telling everyone who will listen in just a few days they can hear us! It's absolutely adorable. Just counting down until next week when we find out the sex of the babies!
QOTD - I remove myself publicly from politics.
Especially being hormonal right now!

TTC: We had our IVF consult on Thursday and it eased some of my anxiety -- it was good to talk about things and ask questions and get all the information we will need. My doctor's standard protocol is to do only single embryo transfer for women under 35, unless the embryo quality is poor, and that was a huge relief for me. I start BCP at the end of the month for 3 weeks, then the games begin! Egg retrieval and embryo transfer should be in early November.
QOTD: I had a friend over for dinner, so we were chatting and catching up and I missed most of the speeches. I'll probably watch them online at some point.
