Howling at 8am

My dogs are all howling, it usually starts with barking then starts gaining a rhythm to it, then all out howling. OM it stopped. Just like my temps, just 1/10 of a degree higher this morning, this is freaking weird! I compared the temps to last (7/04) cycle and they are WAY below normal. Having said that, I took Femara this cycle and have now been on Metformin for about 5 months. Last cycle I was on Met for about a month; Hoopefully temps will way spike and get to where they need to be. OK, vent session over. I woke up LATE this morning and had a darn DAR dream. I'm beginning to hate those dreams.....and that's exactly what they are DREAMS! Do dreams really imitate life? Dream was SOOO high school, along with the insecure feelings I had back then etc. Im sooo way past that & the dreams are my vehicle back there, I Hate It! OK hate IS a strong word but I totally wish they would stop. I don't have GAH dreams, so WTF? K, well Im off to get ready for work.......ho hum.

my 2 week wait

Well, we're pretty much done with the "bd" weekend; Im unsure about my actual O date b/c my temp dropped today; I think its what they call a "fallback rise" and tomorrow hopefully I'll see a temp rise like it should. I was a little unnerved this week; first after my doc visit when he said no IUI; I had an 18mm and two smaller 1o and 11mm follicles; 18mm should've been about 20-22 by Saturday. As much as I don't want to obsess I'll prob be looking for every sign I can from now til Turkey day. DH wants a baby soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly, I don't want to let him down; It's not like before, in 2000 when he seemed to be going through the motions but not "into" it like now, Im happy. well, it's been a long weekend! I turned 36 and I've decided that's it, from now on when someone asks me how old I am, I'm 36 (10 years from now, I'll be 36!) YES, I've decided. . . . . .

My journey to Motherhood

Well, It's CD 11 and my RE appt. is in 2 days. I started OP testing today and so far (-). Im also charting my BBT, CP and CM to cover all my bases. DH is fairing well. He is very excited about our TTC journey and is asking for a round crib, which I've decided to look into once again. We may get one when we go out to California for Thanksgiving. I finished the Femara so headaches have subsided. They were'nt all that painful but they were there, persistent and eventually nagging. I'd go through more if I had to if it meant we'd concieve! I feel pretty positive about this cycle. I'm not sure if its because of how quickly we got pregnant in July. I'm starting to think I may be like my sisters, very fertile once I get past all my problems (LOL!) {Sasha & KiKi are attacking DH for his dinner... I had to rescue him.} I think today we're starting the sperm meets egg plan, I need to go back & look at the material and see if we start today, how that will pan out. I'm really really really trying to cover all my bases huh? Appt. for the follicle check is looming. I'm kinda nervous because while I was on Clomid, I remember feeling all sorts of pain in the ovaries. With Femara, no pain. At least with Clomid I knew my ovaries were working overtime. With Femara, everything is so quiet, so calm. The girl at the office is due in about 6 weeks. She is actually due much earlier than she told us, said she was due late Jan. Turns out she is due Dec 18th or 16th. I really could've been upset, seeing that we're going to accomodate her while she's out & we were expecting her to be here through the holidays and into January. I only found out b/c for her Baby Shower, I printed her wish list and it said it there. So, at least we now know for our contigency plan that it could be anytime from now til mid to late December. I have a problem putting commas everywhere, so every once in a while I'll go back and edit to take some out, even when they are needed. Just in that last sentence alone were two commas, were they really needed? (another one) Anyway, Im going to FF to check on the posts, wash up and get some TV in. I'll blog later...
