Not so crappy Monday... :)

I am still not the best at the blogger world, but I'm trying!!! I've been keeping myself busy so I won't be concentrating on trying to get 'you know what'. :) So far, it's working okay.

As far as the 'you know what' goes, I'm not sure if I ovulated this month or not. I forgot to test a couple of days, so I'm hoping that it happened then... but who knows. Guess I'll know in a week or so. If this round doesn't work, then I'm going to see if my obgyn will send me to a specialist. I've already been checking on some of the ones in the area. I don't wanna continue to waste time.

In the meantime, I watched the ENTIRE 5 seasons of LOST. It took several months, but it is a great series!!!! I think I would be 'lost' if I hadn't watched it back to back. I can't wait for the final season to start in January!! (I think that's when it is...)

Anyhoo, I need to finish making hair bows. (Yep, that's one of my hobbies... along with selling pampered chef... I've been really busy this time of year!!)

*****LET GO AND LET GOD*****

Happy Crappy Monday...

Today was the 2 week mark-- time to test! ... BFN. :( Then to top it off, hello aunt flow and the mother of all cramps. Yay.

The morning was rough, but after several small snickers, chips, pretzles, a pepsi and anything else I could get my hands on... I started to pull it together. (and put down the food.) I read Habakkuk 3:17-19 at lunch and felt a peace. Still empty, but a peace.

"Though the fig tree does not bud & there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails & the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen & no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Soverign Lord is my strength... He enables me."

I've called in clomid round 3. I'll start that on Wednesday. ...... I'm also thinking that I need to start posting other things besides just TTC issues. I'll try to get on that sometime this week. :)

Climbing back on the wagon...

Well-- I fell off the blogging wagon. I'm trying to get back on! Life has been crazy with me helping my husband start his own clinic AND me working for him. Plus, I have been going through a "I-don't-want-to-read-or-write-about-anything-to-do-with-pregnancy" time period. I think I'm over it. :) ... For now anyway!

With the gall bladder MIA, we have proceeded with round 2 of clomid. I am back to my OBGYN in my hometown and she seems much more knowledgable about this. She used to work in a fertility clinic. If this round doesn't work, we are having DH checked out. She said she normally does that BEFORE clomid. Hmm.. my old doc needs to do some more research. Anyhoot, I ovulated and am now waiting to see what God has in store. I'll be able to test this coming Monday or Tuesday. Waiting is definitely the hardest part!!

To date: 15 months off BC.

Gotta go-- still at work!! :)

Bad Blogger...

Yes-- I'm not so good at this blogging thing. I haven't written or logged on in like 3 weeks. BUT-- In the past 3 weeks, I've had gall bladder surgery, moved 2 hrs away the very next day, was sick for about 10 days, & am trying to help DH start his new business. Oh, and now we're living with the parentals while praying our house sells in our old town. Whew! ...

Back to the gall bladder thing- Yeah, I know some ppl are up and active within 2-3 days, but I was definitely not. Actually, 3 days later I was back in the ER. However, I'm SOOOO thankful I had it out. I'm feeling much much better already!!

Temporarily living with the parentals is fine. I'm thankful that we're able to live here, but it's so hard to do when you're used to living on your own. We want to be in an apt though within 3 months... please!!!! The thing I hate the most: LIVING OUT OF BOXES!

As far as the TTC-- I just got my RX filled for the pills to jump-start my prd & Clomid Round 2. I've talked to my dr. & I think she'll actually be monitoring me this time. I'm going to ask her about taking baby asprin. I've heard of several ppl taking it while on Clomid & who've had PCOS.

Okay-- It's late for me & I'm out. I'll try to read everyones blogs within the next couple days and get caught back up! :)

Short & ... eh.. short.

Round 1 was a no go... Gall bladder surgery is scheduled for Friday. (will be confirmed on Thursday) DH & I are moving 2 hrs away on the evening of my surgery. Yeah, nice timing. Hince, the reason I haven't blogged--packing!! And the fact that we've canceled internet and I only have it now and then when a nice neighbor wants to send me some WiFi. :) Off to pack some more! ...

I know---In need of a specialist...

I went to my "random d25 OB appt" today. I waited an hr and a half in the waiting room. Then they told me that my doc had to go deliver a baby. So, I went home for lunch, then came back an hr later. I wanted for almost ANOTHER hour and a half... and the nurse said "Umm... he said it was too early for you to come in. Come back next week." ---- SERIOUSLY??? I mean, I knew it was too early to come in anyway but I thought "Jen, you're not a dr.. just listen to them. You've never done this b4." *sigh* So after sitting in the waiting area for a total of 3 hrs & seeing lots and lots of preggo bellies, I decided to go get an iced carmel mocha. It was delicious.

Now, I get to twiddle my thumbs again until the 18th. :/ I'm telling myself it's okay. God is good. His timing is perfect..... Patience.... Faith.

waiting....at bonjangles

After my last post, I got a positive on my OPT. Since it's the 1st BFP on an OPT in my LIFE, I was a little psyched to say the least! So, I ran a quick 3 miles to calm my nerves. (Yep, it was definitely about 3 min faster than my normal time...)

Right now I'm just waiting for my random appt on Wednesday. Still not sure why the OB is wanting to see me on day 25, but we'll see. We'll be moving back to our hometown the end of the month. So, I'll be switching doctors soon anyway.

As far as the computer situation-- we got a 'hand-me-down' from my family. Yay! We already cut off our internet, so now I have to park at the Bojangles down the street and steal free WiFi. :) ... ghetto.
