  Adorable! 

  
  

  Here's me, on the field at Camden Yards after finishing my first 5K. The guy behind me in the Orioles uniform juggled for the entire race and still had a faster time than me. Folks, I have a new fitness goal: Juggle Jogging.

  10574376_10203445668636182_1747538144444096432_n.jpg 71.2K

  Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

  
  

  Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

  
  

  UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

  @lgsdesigner not only is your ring beautiful but the proposal was great!  Kudos to your fiance!

  @Austrogermokee so awesome for your 5k!  I used to run quite a bit of mileage but haven't run regularly for years now.  I keep telling myself I'm going to get back to it.  I hope you continue to enjoy your running and keep posting- maybe it will inspire me!

  ok let me dig one out, ok here's Christmas Eve 2012 our first Christmas together and newlywed (9/21/12).

  @lgsdesigner I love your ring and the proposal was a wonderfully original one.
  
  @kelley72 Your tree is great.  With themed and staged trees being so common now, I love seeing trees with a mix of ornaments.
  
  @Austrogermokee Kudos to you for running the 5k.  I'm always with the walking group.  I admire anyone who can run for those long periods of time.
  
  Here is my first and only fur baby.  She passed 1 1/2 years ago at the age of 16.  She was a cute little schnauzer mix I adopted from SPCA.

  Love all of the pictures!

  We went on an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon and went dog sledding.  It is one of my most favorite memories!
