One Step Forward ...

And 1,000 steps back.  Yeah, I’m exaggerating a little - it’s not that bad, but setbacks while TTC SUCK.

Yesterday was CD40.  Not even remotely close to the longest I’ve gone between cycles (154 days), but I didn’t want to sit around waiting for something to happen.  Thankfully the nurses in my doctor’s office are very helpful and prompt, and my doctor is super proactive with my treatment.  I got a phone call maybe a half hour after sending an email to the doctor’s office from a very nice nurse asking for more details, and then she called back after about 15 minutes with a plan of action from the doctor.

I started taking Provera again tonight to hopefully induce another cycle, and I have 100mg of Clomid to take on CD5-9.  I was really hoping that I wouldn’t have to start the Provera again, and I was especially hopeful after having AF show up on her own - early - in July.  Unfortunately, that just wasn’t the case - stupid body.

Along with the medications, I’d like to get more into the yoga I kind of started practicing.  Once in a while I’ll spend a half hour or so on it, but I need to start a regular routine.  It might not make a huge difference, but it can’t hurt.  Maybe combining all of these factors will get us a BFP in September … my fingers (and toes) are crossed.

Cotton

Two years ago, I married my best friend.  Married life hasn’t always been sunshine and rainbows, but it’s been a great experience so far. 

Our plans for our anniversary are pretty awesome.  We started out with no plans, aside from going out for dinner at one of our favorite places.  By the end of last night, however, our anniversary got much more interesting.  B tweeted at Elizabeth Banks - he was trying to get tickets to a pre-screening of the movie “Pitch Perfect” in Chicago.  She actually tweeted back at him saying that we’re on the list to get into the movie, and she wished us a happy anniversary.  Pretty freakin’ cool.  We’ll spend some of the day in Chicago - probably hang out at Navy Pier - and then we get to see a movie that I am really excited to see.  Nice job, B :).

In other anniversary gift news, B kept with tradition and didn’t even know it - my first gift from him (which I received early) is a Doctor Who Adipose plushie.  It’s soo cute!  I haven’t named him yet …



As for my gift to B … there isn’t one yet.  He’s very difficult to buy for … plus he makes like all of the money in our relationship, so it’s kind of like giving him a gift from himself.  All I can do is write him sappy cards (and blog posts) about how much I love him.  Thankfully that seems to be enough.
