Trouble TTC

Fur babies

I was about to lose it over the wait to test, and just thinking about my hopes & fears for this cycle when my older cat came up asking to be picked up (not unusual) and then curled up on my chest until I had calmed down (very unusual - he rarely likes to sit on me, a preferring to sit next to me instead). I know there are several cat people here, and thought it might be fun to share pictures of fur babies (dogs, cats, all welcome ). Here are mine guys - the tabby was a rescue, and the black & white a feral kitten who came begging for food.  This is during one of their rare calm moments :)
Me (33), PCOS. Bloodwork normal, AMH slightly high, HSG clear

    Me:26 DH:27
    Married Oct 2011
    NTNP for about a year before actively 
    TTC since April 2013
    Currently testing for infertility cause and hormone imbalance.
    Infertility & ovarian cyst diagnosis: May '14
    B/W: 'good', more ordered to check antibodies & progesterone
    SA: Normal :)
    U/Ss for cyst: who the f knows
    DH's cat scan: showed encapsulated fatty growth; u/s: didn't really show much more
    Breast Specialist: Most likely a large fibroid, but keeping an eye on it, repeat u/s every 6mos 
    HSG: clear tubes, uterus is A-ok
    WHAT'S NEXT: DH's consult with surgeon to discuss next step for growth, either biopsy or surgery~Big discussion with Dr. before any possibility of starting Clomid, since I'll want another u/s before and to be monitored and he doesn't seem into that. I had to force his hand just to order the AMH test so may be looking for another OB
    ~All welcome :) ~
    Cycle 3 of OPK; Cycle 2 (this time around) of Temping

  • Everyone's furbabies are so precious. Love our 4 legged children. @WishUponAChild‌ so sorry for your loss. It always hurts to lose a pet. Our dachshund is in my siggy. His name is Jack and H rescued him right before we started dating. He is spoiled rotten and a big baby, but we love him!
  • @WishUponAChild‌ I'm so sorry for the loss of your fur baby.


    Here is my crazy dog. He loves to float on rafts in the pool. He literally floated this day for 30-45 min by himself while I got everything ready for a party.

    The other pic of him is from the other day when I woke up and caught him sleeping on the back of the couch where he is NOT suppose to be sleeping. I think he was pretending he was good, I know better.
    Fucking bump!!!!
