I’m Back…

I’m back! And busy – and tired!!! We flew back late last night, and I’m here at work now – oh boy, can’t wait until later today when I crash… My stupid boss set up a meeting for 4:00 this afternoon, so I can’t even leave early. Oh, and this is about the project he was supposed to get done while I was gone, and he didn’t do anything on it – in 2 ½ weeks!!! I woke up at 3:20 this morning, and couldn’t go back to sleep. The good news is I got a bunch of laundry and stuff done before coming to work. The bad news is I’m now exhausted, and it will only get worse as the day goes on…

Will definitely post some pics of the trip later this week – once I get them organized. Such a wonderful trip! I thanked the hubs for pushing the trip. It was something that he always pushed for, and I really didn’t want to go. I didn’t want to go, as I was supposed to be pregnant, and didn’t want the additional stress. Turns out it all worked out ok.

No rest for the weary – guess who started her period this morning! It was weird – my temps still hadn’t really dropped. Honestly for the last couple days, I thought I was pregnant, and was very disappointed this morning when I got my period. I half-heartedly tracked everything this cycle. Our BD timing wasn’t fabulous, but it was “Good” as rated by fertility friend, I checked my temps every few days or so after O’ing, and even this morning, they hadn’t dropped like they normally do prior to AF. I really thought I was pregnant – more than I have for a natural cycle in a very long time. But I was worried – yesterday on the plane ride home was our first non-alcoholic day in a long time… But no reason to worry, I didn’t get pregnant. I was relaxed, went on vacation, got drunk, had fun sex, and still didn’t get pregnant. Was definitely disappointed – was really hoping I didn’t have to go through another IUI, but here we are. It’s CD1, I made an appointment for Wednesday for my CD3 bloodwork and ultrasound, ordered a bunch of meds, and we’ll do IUI #3 – ugh.

I really am going to try to get caught up on my blog reading in the next few days – really hoping that there is some wonderful news out there for me to read!!! I’ve missed you ladies!!!

  1. Welcome back, I am sorry that this cycle wasn't it for you. I am glad that you got away from all this crap for a while and really enjoyed yourself and your time with your husband.

  2. Yeah, I'm really glad it was fun! Oktoberfest! I've always wanted to go! And I'm glad you're back. Too bad this wasn't your cycle, but I'm glad you'll now be doing it right with all the meds and abstaining from drinking. I'm rooting for 3 out of 3, when it comes to your IUI's! And obviously, for the third time to be the charm.

  11. I've missed you, too! Sounds like this trip was just what the doctor ordered. I am sorry about AF. But hey, I guess at least you didn't have to deal with her while traveling Europe, right?

  12. yay! you're back! I can't wait to see pictures. I wish you had come back pregnant, but now you are well rested for next month! I am glad that you had a good time, I know you were hesitant about going but I'm really glad that you did. Have a good rest of the week and try to ignore the unwelcome auntie :)

  13. Welcome back Alex! So glad you had a great time but bummer about being back to work so soon!! Jetlag must be killing you right now!! Hang in there the weekend is not too far away..

    Cannot wait to see the pics and hear more about your fun holiday!! I had to laugh when you wrote about going away and getting drunk and having fun sex... it's what all fertiles tell us to do isn't it?? They think it's going to miraculously work just because we were not "stressing about it"!! HAHAHA!

    I am rooting for you all the way my friend...

  14. Oh Alex, I'm Sorry about AF's appearance this morning. How amazing would it have been to get pregnant from drunk/fun sex! Stranger things have happened! I'm glad you've got a plan in place for your IUI though and I hope you get a one way ticket to parenthood very soon.
    Hope you survived your long day back at work!

  16. Welcome home! So annoying when the temps don't dip; mine stayed high until CD6 this cycle. Boooo. :( Sending yet-another-cycle hugs.

  18. Ahhh, a European vacation sounds fantastic. Here's to hoping for lucky number 3!!

  19. Welcome back! Though I'm sorry you had to come back to a schmuck-y boss. A 4 pm meeting plus jetlag = sheer cruelty.

    But you know what they say: third time is the CHARM (and I'll cross fingers that this is true).
