Side Tracked

OK, so I got a little side tracked the last couple of weeks and didn't update from my last post.

I did finally get a call back from the dr's office. The gal on the phone couldn't, or more likely wouldn't, give me any specific numbers. Great! Just what I need, someone who plays by the rules. So I made an appt to meet with the dr on Jan 7. So, another cycle down the drain more than likely. Even if I O'd late this cycle and the doc just hands over a scrip on the 7th, it will most likely need to wait until the following cycle. Tick...tock...tick...tock...

I found out an interesting tidbit about my FIL this weekend. He is fully aware of temping and charting. I discovered this when he made a comment to DH about hoping that "that" is successful - as he pointed at my thermometer sitting on the nightstand. Hmmm.....

All in all, it was a good Christmas visit. DS had a fun time playing with his cousins and helping FIL take care of the animals. I just wish we could have stayed another day or two.

The Results Are In...

and I'm "within normal range". OK....well at least they think I'm normal;-)

I've got a call in to find out actual numbers. I need to know exactly what I'm looking at here since we are talking about a range. That's just me, gotta know so I can pretend to be in control. I know I have a better chance of making it snow in Arizona but I can at least pretend!

Oh, and I got the ever popular piece of TTC advice this week - "You should just relax and stop trying so hard. You know you'll get pg if you just relax!" Can I tell you how hard it was not to dump gingerbread shake on my step mother (who has no kids by the way)! And then my ever so insensative DH says "That's what I keep saying". Geeze, thanks for the support there big guy. I know you have ultimate faith in your swimmers getting the job done but there is sooooo much more that could be the problem that has nothing to do with you!

So I ask you, do I sound normal to you?! I'm making myself crazy here. Maybe it is time to put the thermometer down and walk away....

Looking For A Plan

So, AF has shown and I'm not pg - again. Not a real big surprise but disappointing none the less.

I made a call to my dr on Weds. They called back on Thursday and I explained the situation - not pg and a seriously shortened timeline - and they were very understanding. They wrote up the bloodwork order and I went in yesterday morning for a blood draw.

I don't know what's worse, waiting for the results to come back or the 2WW.

After DH came home from his appt at the VA earlier this week he told me he'd had an SA done. I hadn't even had to ask him, he just mentioned to the dr we'd been trying for a while. I don't know what the results were. I'm going to have DH get a copy sent to my dr. One less test we need to do in the future.
