CD1

So AF showed up today, right on time, which is the first time in a long time that happened. I'm usually several days early. I think I'm going to go back to taking my temps to see what's going on with my cycle and how my current treatment is doing.

I didn't expect to get pregnant this month. I had a nasty yeast infection when I was ovulating this month, and you do need to have sex to get pregnant when not under the care of a RE, LOL!

I think we might get serious over the next few months to really try hard and see what happens. After that, I am trying to decide if we go back to the doctor or if we start pursuing adoption. I'm really not sure which way to go. We'll see.

Congrats on timely period! It's so hard to make those decisions. You know I go back and forth. I keep thinking, I'm 33, that's "young". Are you still considering adoption from Columbia? How does you husband feel about that? I know whenever I mention international adoption my husband is not interested. If we had started w/Guatemalan adoption we would have a baby now.

It's funny you mention the sex thing. My husband has been initiating since I had the insemination. I think he's hoping that he has something-anything. Kind of sad.

Ughh--yeast infections make me so angry. Especially when they screw up ttc!

Temping made me nuts, but some people are really successful with it. I hope it gives you some answers.

Your daughter is beautiful btw :)

I think this CD 1 is a fresh beginning for you, especially since you had the nice surprise of a timely period...that is very important, after all!! How exciting...you make me want to start temping again just for the heck of it...I miss my handy dandy thermometer!!

I'm sorry AF arrived this month. And I'm sorry about the nasty YI. Those are the worst!

I wish you the best of luck next cycle. XOXO

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni
