Everything Else

A lil shopping post

Me sad, frustrated, happy, excited=shopping &/or eating.  I call a year of unsuccessful TTC all four of the former & the reason for my gaining 8+ pounds this year & doing a good amount of shopping recently.  But I’ve told Jason that my online {which has been the big one} shopping will be cut out.  Of course just that week {last week}, I’d ordered a casual purple dress & two skirts from Boden & a top from Gap.  oops. 

Thought I’d share with y’all me in the dark jean skirt since it arrived today.  I think it’ll look good with leggings & boots now & also with flip flops this summer.  Photo taken self-portrait style keeping on my caramel sweater from work.  Please ignore my scarily white legs!

I’m still undecided about the melon skirt but I think I’ll love it with tall boots.  I wore the dress yesterday {with brown leggings & the new Gap brown shirt} & I love it!  I think I could’ve ordered a size smaller in all three, but due to the weight gain & hopefully future baby sooner than later & being tired of tight clothes, I think I’ll be happy with that decision for the dress & jean skirt.  I tried on this coral skirt again & think I’ll exchange for the next size down.  These were my first Boden purchases & so far I’m impressed.  Love the free shipping & free returns too!

But since I’m putting it out there, y’all hold me to it~ no more shopping {at least for a lil while}. 😛

Trying To Conceive

First RE appointment

I meant to post this yesterday but was busy at work, then a coworker happy hour then made muffins for a work breakfast this morning.  After all that, I collapsed on the couch to watch AI.  The short of it: we both really like Dr P & everyone else we encountered at CC & left very hopeful.

I brought my charts from the past 13 cycles. He looked at them & right off said definitely a LP issue {which I’d gathered} but great that I have very regular cycles & am definitely O’ing {which I’d also hoped}. The RE said based on how short my LPs are if he’d seen my charts 6 months in, he would have recommended us come see him then. I told him my obgyn had waived it off {damn midcarolina}. He thinks it’s probably progesterone deficiency but not sure the cause yet. I had blood work done {damn rolling veins meant 2 sticks and bruises today} & Jason did the SA {aka his date with the cup} while we were there yesterday. Yeah, we were pumped we were able to get all that done for just one $50 copay!

My hsg will probably be within 2 weeks {between days 6-12 of my next cycle} then we meet back with him 3/1 to see where we go from there.  Dr. P did said while we were there, based on my short LPs, that we might start with clomid/fermara {because both not only bring on O but also help with progesterone} or maybe just do progesterone supplements.  IF friends, did you have to do those supplements? Or any of these other medicines?  What do you think?

Jason got his test results emailed to him. We got it this morning & his buddies are awesome; like 272 million awesome!! Woohoo! 🙂

Joy of Love: His hobby

I’ve been getting the Joy of Love emails & while I haven’t been able to keep up with both Project 365 & Joy of Love, it has helped me try to take different shots.  Wednesday’s choice was easy & pretty perfect for me:  Day 09, their passions & hobbies.  I grabbed the D5000 & ran into the office turned man-room/video game room.
