just another cycle

i meant to post that cd1 was last wednesday. not that it means much, as we're not really doing anything right now. but it is still another cycle with not much to show. well, with nothing to show.

and so it goes...

in other news, i have several other blogging buds who are patiently awaiting their BFP's. and i'm sending all of my prayers up for y'all and wishin' and hopin' (c'mon, sing along...) and thinkin' and prayin' for some BFP's (i'll leave the "plannin' & dreamin'"up to y'all...hehe)!!

3x = a streak?

yesterday, the 28th day of the 9th month of the year of 2008, was cycle day 1...bringing the official tally to 31 months of ttc.

but who's counting?

the good news is this past cycle was 30 days. so it looks like things are finally normalizing, as this is the 3rd cycle in a row of 35 days or less. i did a lil' song&dance yesterday when i charted...you say it's your birthday, it's my birthday too, yeah...i'll spare you the rest.

i've decided that i'm going to try and embrace my period. we have, after all, been together for 18 years (scary)! and well, i've not always treated auntie flo with kindness. as a matter of fact, over the years, i've been down right slanderous. but no apologies are given...she's been a bitch from day one. however, i'm thinking if maybe i just you know, become friends with her, she'll ease my pain and try and work with me on this whole lets-have-a-baby thing. perhaps if i massage the ego of my reproductive system, it will decide to behave and act accordingly? no?

so far, there's been nary a cramp.

so, we were spared by Ike. didn't even get a drop of rain! apparently we were 50 miles too far west. i'm kinda irritated. nothin' from Gustav...and nothin' from Ike. i mean, i know that most people don't wish for hurricanes but certainly people wish for rain, right? sigh.

only thing Ike did manage to screw up for us was a trip to Houston tomorrow. i don't think that will happen. and i am pissed. the captain and i had some extremely important business to handle in Houston. who knows when that'll get rescheduled.

nothing new to note as far as my cylce is concerned. i still haven't felt anything relating to ovulation. and i probably didn't ovulate or haven't yet....surprise! blech.

double blech.

what do y'all think about my new header? i did it myself over @ scrapblog. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that site!

moseying along...

today is cd12...not feeling anything remotely similar to what i felt last month that led me to believe i was ovulating. i'm not too surprised by this. sigh.

am i the only one sick of all the campaigning and POTUS election overload? ugh. i'm pooped! and who's idea was it to start this election cycle over a year ago anyway? i'd like to beat them w/ a 5lb bag of nickels! tbh, i'm ready for 2012. lol.

.

in case you're wondering, i'm an undecided libertarian. not a position i fancy right now...not at all.

off to get eatin' up by the vultures of the working world...bbl...

hey, jerry!

so, looks like jerry and rebecca wanna have a baby. three words: join.the.club.

i'm not going to spend more time on hottie jerry and his gorgeous wife, rebecca. not when julie has done a great job of summing up my feelings (as usual), read here. and not when i'm determined to finish this blog not feeling like a rejected-reproductively broken-freak. sigh.

i'm waiting for my next cycle to start. i was sure it was going to be this morning, as my legs were hurting a lot last night...so much so that i had to keep moving them while lying in bed (not normal for me). but alas, there's no sign of her, yet. i've been told i can technically start charting at any point in my cycle. but i like to have a clear start-date. so, i've decided to wait until cd1; hence, my impatience with AF's timing, or lack thereof.

i signed up for a sewing class next month! yay! i'm SO excited! there are so many projects i want to start working on for Christmas and Chanukkah gifts (yes, i realize it's only july...but i'm c-r-a-z-y like that!). i bought some fabrics last night - and i must say, i love them all. the fabric cutter/cashier kept telling me how much she liked what i'd picked out. now, of course, she might have just been saying this but it made me feel good that a total stranger liked my picks...hopefully the recipients of my gifts will too!

are you crafty? what types of gifts do you make for your family & friends (or for yourself?!)?

patience is a virtue

i met w/ dr.C yesterday to discuss my friend and the problems we're having - she doesn't seem to mind that we're incompatible. had a trans-vaginal ultrasound (if you don't know what that is, keep it that way) - nothing abnormal! ha! cervix is lookin' good, uterus is lookin' fabulous, & the ovaries are stellar! all these rave reviews of my innards had me confused....dr.C said i had "abnormal uterine bleeding" caused by HORMONES! Hmph....really? @@

if y'all haven't figured it out yet, my life seems to be overflowing with ironies. today's irony: dr.C prescribed me Clomid (100mg) to be taken w/ the Met for 6 cycles. this should get my cycles back on track b/c you know, the goal here is to get pregnant (& yes, i need a reminder every now and again, too!) he also wanted to inform me that "just in case we have sex during my fertile phase, there is an 8% chance of twins." ORLY?

y'all should know that i lurve dr.C and his staff; they are AWESOME! and a special shout out to nurse L....she always promptly returns my calls :)
