5w5d - Exhausted!

Dear Bunny,

Hi, sweetie! I'm so sorry that I haven't written to you since Monday. There's something you probably need to learn about your Future Mommy: I think I should have been born twins, because I always am involved in enough things to keep two ...

5w1d

Hi, Bunny!

Are you being a good little bunny? We've been thinking about you all weekend! I got some of your numbers back today - just the progesterone - and it was 22.9 - which is high enough at 4w5d to make me feel happy! No HcG yet - hopefully ...

4w5d (Rinse, Repeat)

Dear Bunny,

Thanks for being a good little Bunny at the doctor's today! Looks like we get to set you back by a day, though...the doctor thinks 4w5d is more accurate to describe today than 4w6d. Of course, once we get to the ultrasound phase, it ...

4w5d

Dear Bunny,

Ok, I get it with the breakfast burrito - I do, believe me. But pizza? Dude, you're killing me here. I just had pizza on Monday - you were semi-ok with it then! But did you have to let me get to the SIXTH slice before you protested? ...

4w4d

Dear Bunny,

So...you didn't really like my breakfast this morning, huh? Sorry 'bout that! I assumed that because your FM loves breakfast burritos from Sonic, you would too! Hey...at least I left the hot sauce off, right?

I was so happy to see your ...

Dear Bunny,

Hi, there. I'm your Future Mommy - and I just wanted to write you a little note to tell you how happy I am that you've nuzzled in and to give you orders to STAY nuzzled for the next 8 or 9 months. There's a few things that I want to ...

You Should Sit Down

You're not seeing things! I tested this morning...instant crosshairs. Instant. Dark as can be!

Invited FD to lunch and told him. Needless to say, we're very excited!

And yes, I went ahead and changed my detection method from Advanced to Research. ...

Dare I Hope?

Ok, it's after midnight, so I'm officially at CD 29, 15 or 17 DPO.

That's right...AF hasn't shown up yet!

After spotting a bit on Thursday and Friday, I've had a couple days of nothing.

No symptoms...but no AF either. No more spotting...but have I ...

Quit Playing Games

Dear AF,

I don't love you. I don't even like you. In fact, Aunt Flo, I'm sorry we're related. Ever since you started coming to visit me when I was in middle school, I've hated your guts. You're smelly and messy and have a complete lack of timing ...

More Insurance "Stuff"

Read FD's health insurance policy last night before we headed out for Valentine's dinner, and although it's shockingly better than mine in the area of infertility, it's not much so.

See...his policy actually DOES cover testing - bloodwork, that is. ...

Looking Ahead...

...so I just went and checked my insurance coverage to see what all would be covered if we end up going down the road of fertility treatments after giving the CBEFM another four cycles to miraculously produce the results that two prior years of ...

13 DPO and BFN

I cheated.

I didn't mean to, but I really couldn't help it.

My temp this morning was NOT higher than yesterday. It was .05 lower - 97.97 to 97.92.

And I'm starting to feel crampy and AF-ish.

So can you please tell me WHY I still tested??

Argh. I'm ...

12 DPO...and NOTHING.

Ok, so I haven't tested yet. You all should congratulate me, because Future Mommy LOVES PEEING ON STICKS. But I'm just not hopeful. I'm just not. I don't know why. I have no reason not to be, I'm just not.

Let's see...what am I feeling? Well, lower ...

9? DPO...and STILL NADA!

Perhaps what will turn out to be remarkable about this cycle is that NOTHING is remarkable about this cycle. At all.

My BBs are a little sore, but THAT'S IT. No other IPS. Most other months, I find 3-5 things that I hang onto to convince myself ...

5 DPO and Nada

So, apparently the CBEFM lies.

Or something like that.

My temps and my CM did NOT support the two peak days the CBEFM gave me. It's off by at least one day, probably too. WTF? I pay $200+ for a machine and test sticks and it's WRONG?!

Anyhow, FF ...

CD 13, First Peak

Well, I had three highs instead of two...so I just got my first peak this morning.

Not that it matters - apparently, I've just become Mrs. Grumpy Pants all the way around and FD has found it impossible to rouse me in the middle of the night when he ...
