New Baby

So I got to hold my friend's brand new baby today. She was just about 24 hours old and the absolute sweetest thing I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever held a baby that young before. So adorable. And I'm only like 80% jealous ;)

grrrrr

well, I thought it was full blown AF yesterday, but now I'm thinking it was still just Spot. Man, she's evil. If she's coming, she should just come already. Enough messing with my head. Okay, so I'm not KU. So get here so we can move on to the next cycle and try another IUI. Grrrrr

No need to test

Spot came to visit right after turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day. What timing. I was only 9dpo so I'm definitely going to talk to the doc about my progesterone levels. It seems that 200 mg of Prometrium just isn't cutting it. Big plunge in temp yesterday. Of course, I hadn't been temping, but it was well below my post O temps that I used to confirm O in the first place. Flo is here today so it's officially CD1--AGAIN! So on to C21. We're going to do another IUI this cycle. If it doesn't work, we should have just enough time for one more cycle before Josh has to go to Georgia for 3 months. We'll be out of town for the first half of that cycle so we won't be able to do a third IUI. But we'll definitely do some major baby dancing!

Anyway, I hope your Thanksgiving was better than mine. Though it was actually pretty good considering AF tried to ruin it.

well, it's official

I'm 6dpo. Since I've confirmed O, I've stopped temping. Especially, since it was just the weekend and the Thanksgiving holidays are coming up. I'm guessing I'll be too busy to worry too much about it. I plan on testing on Sunday, just to see. I'll be 12dpo at that time. So it should be pretty accurate by then.

On a side note, I have a job interview today. It's for a middle school science position. The school also has history and math positions. I'd much rather have the math job, but right now I'll take anything I can get. I'll update when I find out.

I'm leaving tomorrow for Josh's dad's house. We'll be there until Thursday afternoon. It'll be good to get away for a little while. Josh is getting really frustrated with his job right now. He's seriously considering getting out of the Navy in a couple years when his contract is up. And he's a bit scared about what he'll do or where we'll go. I'll try to tell him that we've still got 2 years to decide. But he's been really moody about it.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is always fun. Josh and I dressed up to give out candy. He was a gladiator (or Marc Antony) and I was Cleopatra. We have a lot of kids that come to our neighborhood. So we went through at least $40 of candy in about 2 hours!!

Just for fun

well, it's official

My first IUI failed. Josh and I are going to take a break from meds and such this cycle. We'll try the IUI thing again during my Dec cycle.

10dpiui

Temp dropped the morning, but I tested anyway. Of course it was a BFN, just as I expected. I know it could be too early still. And if my temp goes up tomorrow, it's possible that in was an implantation dip. But I'm doubting it. I'm sure this cycle will end in AF just like the last 18. I'm really beginning to think that I won't ever be able to have kids and that I should just move on.

1 week down

1 more to go. I think I'll start testing on Sat or Sun. I really don't have a lot of hope though. If it doesn't happen this cycle, I think we're going to take a break from the meds and temping for a couple months. I think my body needs a break! We'll also need to save up if we're going to do another IUI.

I got it!

I love eBay! I was having a really hard time finding a Halloween costume. Josh found one the other day--he's going to be a gladiator/Roman soldier. I went to so many stores, but I had a hard time finding something plus sized. So I went to eBay and just won a Cleopatra costume! Now we can be Cleopatra and Marc Antony. We're not actually going to any parties or anything, but I always like to dress up to hand out candy to the kids.
