Third Times a Charm...?

BEST Christmas Present EVER:

October, November, December, oh my!

::insert face of shame here::

I really can't believe it has been so long since I've written. I was doing so well, even posting regularly.

Oh well, what's done is done, I'll move on...

So let's see here...what is new...?

Instead of posting some gigantic long-winded update, I'll keep it brief and promise to continue to updated at least a little more regularly.


1. I got a new job, awesomely exciting, amazing place, better pay, good stuff :)

2. More speed-bumps in the graduation process, still plugging along though, I'm hoping it will happen eventually.

3. I started charting again. ::gag::

4. I guess if January rolls around and I'm not pregnant I'll face the whole fertility specialist thing.

5. I got a really cute Kate Spade purse, on 75% off Cyber Monday:



6. I've been considering going public with this blog, aka post on FB. Still considering. I mean honestly...it isn't like I don't share EVERYTHING with everyone I talk to anyway...hmmmm....

7. I know there has been a ton more stuff but I can't think of anything right now.

Until next time! And I promise it won't be 3 months...

:)

Fa.... La La La La... La La... La... Laaaaaa....

Wow, I'm bad! I haven't posted in a month.

I guess I just haven't had anything really new or exciting to post!

I actually still don't have anything, but you know me, I can always fine something to go on and on about.

Let's see...whats new....hmmmm....

Work: still no new job, old job still sucks ass.

School: They lost my graduation application ::freak out:: then they found it

::sigh of relief::

Fertility: I am on my second real period, sweet! Next month is Cameron's birthday, it would be cool if I got pregnant. Not holding my breath. I'm enjoying NOT worrying about that shit.

::stress free sigh::

Weather: Awesome! Rainy, chilly, fabulous!

Busy-meter: off the chart!

I'll try to update later, I have a few events coming and will have some fun pictures in theory :)

p.s. as I'm typing this I hear someone's phone start ringing. They song is the Psycho big knife shower scene song. YIKES. Tis the season!

Big Week

Now that I am over my dramatic emo moment I have a lot to focus on this week.

I interviewed last week for a job that I REALLY would love to get. I should hear back by the end of this week, one way or the other.



C and his dad are going to build a fence this weekend, between our neighbors house and ours. It will be SO nice to have something like that done. Most of the backyard projects we've been talking about for 3 years, and it seems that things are finally happening!

It will look kind of like this:




Then, finally, I finally have a doctor's appointment today.

Last week I went in to get blood drawn for, what they call a recurrent loss panel. It was about 9 vials they test for a variety of Thyroid, autoimmune, and blood clotting disorders.

They will also give me an ultrasound, my fingers are crossed that there is no scar tissue or anything requiring another procedure.

Also, the big question. Where is my period?

Me and My Infertile Avocado Tree

C wants to cut down our Avocado tree in the backyard.

It is fairly large, probably old, but it is also messy, has some dried branches, and isn't that pretty.

I keep arguing that I don't want to cut it down. I like it, I don't know why, I just do.

Over the weekend we decided to start building a fence between our house and one of the neighbors (there is a half-assed, pieced together, chest high fence currently that isn't cutting it).

The avocado conversation started again.

C: "I feel like you have an unhealthy attachment to the avocado tree." he pokes at me laughing.

Me: "I feel sorry for it, I don't want to cut it down, what if it is old?" (pouting)

C: "It doesn't even produce avocados." (side eye)

Me: "Maybe we just need to get a male tree to put next to it."

C: "hmmm............no."

Me: "ok fine, I'll just steal a branch from another tree and sprinkle avocado seed dust all over it."

C: "I think I know the problem." (smiles understandingly and pats my knee)

Me: "What is the problem...?"

C: "I think you sympathize with the tree."

***long pause, thinking, thinking, thinking...***

Me: (light bulb over head moment)

"Oh.my.god......the tree is like me, infertile. C, you are so insightful." (hangs head, feeling lame about being sad for my infertile tree)

C: "Don't feel bad. Lets buy some avocados and glue them all over the tree, it can adopt them."

(insert hysterical laughter)

So there it is. The tree and I have something in common.

I wonder if I'll start being jealous of the neighbor's, heavily fruiting, grapefruit tree now.

Ok...this is getting a little ridiculous.

If anyone is curious why I haven't brought up any fertility related subjects for a while, it is because...I'm still waiting.

For my period to start, that is.

I'm 60 days post D&C.

I had painful cramps yesterday. Today I'm sore and bruised feeling which is awful.

I can't continue the testing process or get blood work done until something happens. RAR!


Dear Body,

Please start working.

That would be great.

Thanks.

Peeing on a Stick

Ok...so when I wrote a list of my future posts a few days ago I expected this post to be a lot different.

Recap: I had my fertility consult appointment scheduled for Friday, I was very eager to test this cycle because I wanted to know either way prior to the apt.

8dpo Monday, March 21:
went to the store bought 2 boxes of pregnancy tests, 6 tests total.
C says "just pee for fun"
I say "your nuts I'm only 8dpo! But...ok"
Outcome: BFN

9dpo Tuesday, March 22:BFN

10dpo Wednesday, March 23: BFN

11dpo Thursday, March 24, 5:30am: BF..ummmmm......what the hell is that?!

OMG I've gone INSANE!

I'm hallucinating!

But NO....there it was...

An EXTREMELY faint 2nd line!

Here are the pictures:


Picture 1 : the line before the 10 minute time limit..can you even see it?? Now you know why I thought I was delusional!





Picture 2: the line after 20 min (yes I know your not supposed to read it after 10 min)And actually when I post it here it looks more like a shadow.


12dpo Friday, March 25 - 14dpo Sunday, March 27 (yes I'm crazy):



needless to say I didn't go to my appointment Friday!

Instead I scheduled my first ultrasound appointment for April 15th!

EDD: 12/04/11
