A funny poem

A funny poem I came across today: 


Anything, I'll do anything-
Temperature charts, Tes-Tape, Litmus paper;
Abstinence to maximize sperm count;
Lying on my back with a pillow under my behind and
my legs up like a beetle; 
Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Zinc; 
Anything I'll do ANYTHING;
But please-oh please, 
Just don't ask me to "just relax."

CD3 - Testing, testing!

Well as I thought last cycle was a bust. AF showed her nasty head a few days ago. I was disappointed but can't say I was too surprised because I just KNEW it wasn't our cycle. It was a combination of things.....the egg being so big (over mature), the egg releasing from my right side (Both times I was pregnant it was my left side), having the Ureaplasma infection come back, among many other things. I had my cry the day AF showed up, but I got over it pretty quickly and I'm now looking forward to this cycle.


I'm heading into the Fertility Clinic today for my cycle day 3 testing-an ultrasound and blood work. We'll see how many follicles have started growing and how my lining is. I'll also start the Femara tonight and take it for 5 days. Hopefully I get a nice, big, healthy eggie on the left side this time!!

10 DPO

Well, it looks (like I thought) that this cycle is a bust. I feel very PMS-y and I got a negative pregnancy test yesterday. As the ladies say on my forum, you're not out until ugly AF shows her face....but I really don't think this is the cycle. I feel nothing like my other two pregnancy cycles. I really tried not to get my hopes up, but it's impossible not to. I'm going to be crushed when AF shows. Oh well, part of the process.


We want to go ahead and do another cycle on the Femara but we're not sure how it will work out with Christmas (I would most likely be O'ing around Christmastime). We'll have to talk to the clinic and see what they suggest.


That's it for me. Just waiting.
