So after a couple good RE visits and getting out, exercising more and making a renewed relationship effort with DH - I reset the mental button and am ready to drive forward again. We have a kid-free weekend this weekend and not sure if O will happen before or during it but I'm hoping for during the weekend so that we can go out to a nice dinner, get drunk and have wild sex (hey that's how it worked the first time!).
Favourite book: I'm not a book reader at all but for book club, I just read the 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared. I enjoyed it!
DS #1: April 2010
DS #2: July 2015 (preemie born at 31 weeks) - our little miracle conceived through ART - unexplained secondary infertility/adenomyosis
DH and I have been doing a lot of praying and we decided that the best move for our family would be that I become a SAHM, so I am in the transition process. It really couldn't of happen at a better time, so I am excited.
** QOTW** I really love Classics. I just added The Scarlett Letter and Hounds of the Baskerville to my collection.
Book: too many to choose from! I think the Narnia series is my all-time favorite.
BOOK: I love The Giver and A Wrinkle in Time. They've been my favorite for a long time and remind me of simpler days.
Favorite series is the Outlander series. They are coming to TV on Starz in August and I can't wait to check the tv show out. I'm re-reading book #1 now (there are 8 so far).
Still on BCP until August 4th. I had my teaching appointment yesterday, it should be called "scare the shit out of you and overwhelm you appt"!!!
TTC #3 since June 2013
BFP #1 7/21/2013--EDD 3/30/14--D&C 9/24/13
BFP #2 1/28/14--MC 2/7/14
IUI #1 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN
IUI #2 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN
IUI #3 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN
Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!
1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.
We have a new plan. After my RE told me that a fully injectable cycle is my last chance and if I don't make more eggs with it that's pretty much the end of the road, I decided I need to be in optimum shape before we do it. Rather than dropping $1000 on an injection cycle with limited chance at results, I am taking at least one cycle off from IF medications (maybe two or three, we'll see) and going on Byetta instead to see if that helps with my PCOS and weight. Also I'm going to get my ass in gear and start activly trying to LOOSE weight as opposed to just not gaining any. I was on Byetta when I got KU with Laurel so it has a proven track record with me but it's an injection so I've been putting it off b/c it sucks. In the mean time we will track and try on our own.

seyah no I have not seen that specific one but I will check it out. Thanks!
TTC #2 since 1/1/13
CD11, went in for monitoring this morning for IUI #3. back for more monitoring tomorrow and then prob IUI on thurs am. i am no longer optimistic about IUI. went in for an IVF discussion on friday. that left me discouraged too. i love the odds of getting pregnant but i hate the meds and the cost. bleh. the doctor kept saying, "but you have another IUI next week so we probably don't even need to be having this conversation." yeah, right.
favorite book: that is tough. i'll say the game of thrones books for now, esp the second one, although they all blend together at some point.
