    QOTW: I usually can leave the house without makeup on, if I remember, I will put mascara on just so you can see my eyelashes. But I can't leave without chapstick or lipgloss in my purse because I am addicted!

    Cycle 38 = break, BCP cycle 



    I don't really rely on much makeup outside the house, the only thing I feel is essential outside is chapstick. Lately I have been throwing lipstick in my purse because I've been wearing more bright colors, and they tend to need retouching through the day. Other than that though, I put makeup on before I leave and that's it- it's done for the day.

  • Cycle Status: 4dpiui

    QOTW:  Outside of the house, I probably use chapstick the most.  Hand cream probably doesn't count as makeup, but I have the driest skin, so I'm constantly using hand cream, especially in the winter.
    If I'm doing minimal makeup at home, I tend to throw on a coat of mascara and call it good.  Although, I'm not one for touch-ups during the day, even when I have full makeup on.  Basically, I go in to work looking put-together and refreshed... and by the end of the day, I look haggard.

    I have gotten into a bad habit of wearing no make-up at all to work unless I have a client meeting, and then I put it on there like an hour before at my desk. That being said, I feel the most naked without Mascara since I have albino eyelashes without it.

  • Cycle status: CD7.  Day 6 of Follistim and Day 1 of Ganirelix.  Also Day 1 of pre-IUI Sex Week (RE told us to go at it and increase our chances).

    QOTW: I share @steph1673's bad habit of arriving at work without makeup and applying it at my desk (in the bathroom, really, but close enough).  "Full makeup" for me is pretty minimal since even the most neutral eye shadow/liner or lipstick just looks weird on me, so I tend to go all or nothing.

    My Ovulation Chart

  • Cycle status:  Day #4 but I am benched again.  This time it's not due to cysts but due to our travel plans.  I am excited to travel but I am sad to think our next IUI won't be until November.  Our last was in August.


  • So apparently I am the crazy infertile woman at my RE office as I triggered had a follicle good lining and an IUI but AF has yet to show (was due last Friday). Problem is I have never missed a period unless on purpose and yet they think it is no cause for concern. I guess I wait for the IVF cycle in November without them thinking anything is wrong with this situation.

    QOTW: Due to my job full face every time

    Calendar review is tomorrow.  I am waiting to ovulate so we can time when I start ganirelix.  Since I haven't had a positive OPK yet, I went to get blood work to see how things look.  I'm getting nervous as this is our last shot and I do not know this protocol at all.  I will know more tomorrow!

    QOTW:  If the question is what I won't leave the house without putting on, then it is my CC cream (either Smashbox or Arbonne) and my Cover FX cream foundation which I use as a concealer.  My one and only pregnancy left me with a lot of dark spots on my face!!  What I take with me to use outside of the house is usually just my Blistex.  I can't live without it!!

    Oops I forgot to say 6 weeks post m/c.  My hcg was finally negative about 2 weeks ago so I still feel like that is still in the realm of normal.  Maybe not though, I haven't really been impressed with the post m/c instruction at my RE office.  Either way it is definitely driving me crazy because I just want to move on.

  • I just updated in the KUFMO, but I am now set for 10/27. Looking forward to surgery to get cleaned out. 

    I only wear moisturizer, chap stick, under eye cream, and mascara on a daily basis. Anything else is when I have the energy.
