  Since I was benched by my RE in May, I joined Weight Watchers (down 11.6 lbs so far) and I am surviving life with Metformin. I've been eating right and exercising faithfully and seeing results! My goal is to lose 15 lbs by my follow up bloodwork on August 12, and fingers crossed I get green-lighted for IVF this fall.

  My son has started saying "grown up" words like "actually" and "prefer". "Mommy, actually, I prefer milk in a big boy cup, not a sippy cup." Well, ok then!

  First day for DD in panties is going well! She nailed the two naked days and today she's only had two accidents. One of them she sat on the potty but forgot to pull her panties down so I'm calling that at least a semi win Also, I'm not sure that there has ever been a more perfect weather day. DD and I had a picnic lunch in the back yard and looked for could animals. It was wonderful

  
  
  
  TTC #2 since 1/1/13

  Phew!  You potty training mammas had me worried... my kid is not interested in PT at all, but he's a month away from 2.  We've got time.

  
  

  Oh yeah, you have plenty of time. My philosophy is that as long as they are going in the potty by kindergarten you're cool. We tried PT over Christmas break but after one day it became painfully obvious that no one was ready for that yet. My best friends kid was PT at 18 months and my niece wasn't completely PT until she was almost 4 (and my sister spent 2.5 years banging her head against the wall b/c little girl wasn't ready yet) To each kid their own I say

  Ha ha - me too!  The potty is an open topic at our house - we have books to read, the potty chair is out...DD will sit on it and pretend to go potty.  But as for really being potty trained?  We're not even close!

  That sounds heavenly!

  Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)

  Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements

  March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!

  Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

  
  

  Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

  I convinced DS to go see the Planes movie with me today (ok I bribed him with toys, because when I mentioned I wanted to go, he cried). He was AWESOME! He used his whisper voice, sat the WHOLE time, and even laughed at the right parts. And the very best part- after the movie I got to tell him how proud I was because he was such a big boy, and he got the biggest smile on his face and said "Yes!!" when I asked if he wanted to do it again sometime. So exciting. Going to movies is something I love and since DH doesn't, I need someone to share that with. I'm cool with kid movies!
