On to the Weekend

I'm so ready for the weekend. And this is after I was off on Wednesday. I have Spring Fever like no one's business. I can't wait for the 55 degree weather with the sunshine that is forecast for us. I'm so over Winter.

I had my ob/gyn annual on Wednesday. I was feeling pretty darn lucky that I didn't see any preggos in the office. What a relief. There was only a 17 year old girl there for her first pap. Her mom recognized me from the commuter bus we ride and spilled her guts. I'm sure her daughter was mortified. Poor thing.

I went in and was weighed and was very surprised that I didn't weigh nearly as much as I thought I did. I'm still a lot flabbier than I want to be, but at least the number was lower than I expected.

When my doctor came in she asked me what was going on. I proceeded to tell her that I'd like to take 50mg of Clomid next cycle and she asked me why. I told her about the failed IUI's and the failed IVF. I also told her that while I thought Dr. M was very nice, I don't feel like he (or anyone) tried to figure out why I wasn't getting pregnant. They just wanted to lump me in with other "cases" and "typical numbers". She said that she didn't want me to think that just taking Clomid would work. And I assured her that I had no illusions but that I needed to feel like I was doing something. She agreed to write the script. What confused me was that she wants me to take it on days 5-9 instead of days 3-7 like I have previously. I didn't ask her why at the time and I could kick myself for it. I haven't had the chance to search google for the difference, either. Maybe some of my well versed readers could help me out with that one. She didn't seem to be concerned with my new lighter and sometimes shorter cycles so that's good. All in all it was a good appointment and I'm glad I asked her for the drugs.

We are taking the Little Guy to get him signed up for baseball tomorrow. Then he has to get all new baseball gear as he grows like a weed and will need new stuff. He then has a b-day party to go to in the afternoon. Then on Sunday he has his last basketball game. It will be a busy weekend again for us. I'm looking forward to being out and about and wearing a light jacket instead of my Winter coat.

I'm on CD9 today and I poas (the opk kind) and got the faintest of second lines. I'm thinking that means I'll be O'ing sooner than I did last cycle. It's always nice to be fertile on the weekend. I'm hoping that I'm far enough away from peak so that we can have fun tonight and Sunday...that would be perfect timing. But knowing my luck, we will DTD tonight and I'll get a positive tomorrow and be SOL. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't get a positive tomorrow...that it holds off until at least Sunday. We'll be alone Monday night and we tend to be more frisky when we are alone. wink wink.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

CD9 - I'd Forget My Head....

I can't believe I walked out of the house today without my opk's. I'm such a blond sometimes. I pulled them out of the box this morning, turned the packages so they all faced the same way (I'm a little ocd that way) and for the life of me I can't remember where I set them down. They are either in my bathroom on the counter, which is fine because the Little Guy will have no reason to go up there. Or they are on the kitchen counter. I know where they AREN'T...here at work with me. I saved up my "sample" and was so proud that I waited until 11:30 to go to the bathroom. Then it hit me...I DON'T HAVE THEM WITH ME. Doh! I checked my bag, not there. I checked my purse, not there. I checked my pockets, not there. Damn it. One of two scenarios will play out:

1) BJ saw them on the kitchen counter and put them somewhere that the Little Guy won't see them.
2) The Little Guy will come bounding in the door through the kitchen and will pick them up and try to say "ovulation" and proceed to ask BJ, "what are THESE?"

Great. Let's hope it's scenario number 1 or at least that I left them upstairs in the bathroom. I'm suffering from CRS (Can't Remember Shit) and I have no idea where they went after I so neatly straightened them out.

I had some more creamy/watery cm last night and this morning and now I have to wait to test until I get home. I'm sure that we haven't missed anything. I was only a day early last cycle and today is only CD9. I just wanted to get used to testing. Plus, I figured out a good way to hide what I'm doing at work. I decided not to bring my little cups and just use the coffee cups provided here at work. I was going to take 2 cups to the bathroom (stacked together) and then after the "process" just take the left over cup down to the coffee machine for some hot water. No one would realize that I had 2 cups when I went in and only 1 when I came out.

Murphy's law I guess.
