Secondary Infertility article

I found this article in a post from the Second Time Around podcast blog.

Secondary Infertility: A Unique Challenge For Parents

As I'm nearing the dreaded 2WW for the 12th time since we decided to try for #2 I've started reading up more on secondary infertility. I'm afraid we might be headed towards that diagnosis.

This is what happens when I get bored

I take silly quizzes!




You Are a Life Blogger!



Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary.

If it happens, you blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible.






You Belong in the Baby Boomer Generation



You fit in best with people born between 1943 and 1960.

You are optimistic, rebellious, and even a little self centered.

You still believe that you will change the world.

You detest authority and rules. Deep down, you're a non conformist.





What Your Front Door Says



You are bold, brave, and easily excited.

You are passionate about what you believe.

And you're never afraid to tell people exactly what you think.

You're picky and particular. It's sometimes hard to meet your standards.






You Are 96% A Child of the 90s



Unsurprisingly, you remember almost everything about the 90s.

Whether you were totally grunge, hip hop, or both... it's all good!

Another Weigh In

Today's weigh in was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting the worst because of the holiday weekend. Sunday we went to two cookouts, one with chicken and vegetables and one with homemade Mexican food. Boy was I surprised when I heard "you lost 3 lbs!". Yay! And that was without any real exercise. I got my 5 lbs. lost sticker today and only need to lose 3 more to get another sticker. I'm also now only 12 lbs. away from my 10% lost goal!

Moonlight

I don't know how many other fans of Moonlight read this blog but thought I'd put this out there. CBS has announced that Moonlight has been cancelled after only one season. Similar to what happend last year with Jericho fans have started a campaign to get Moonlight renewed, either on CBS or another network.If you love Moonlight check out some of these links to see what you can do to help save it!

Wrong way!

The scale at my weigh in today must have been broken. It said I gained half a pound. That has to be wrong, right?

The only thing I did differently this week was not drink nearly enough water, not drink as much milk and I had pizza for dinner last night. The small gain has given me more motivation to see a big loss next week though. I do have a challenging weekend ahead of me though. Sunday we're having a family cookout at my parent's house and one of my friends is having a cookout and pool party that day too. Then Monday the hubby and I will both be home all day. I'll have to try to get some yard work done so I'm not just sitting in front of the tv the whole day.

2nd Weigh In and an Unwelcome Visitor

I had my second weigh in yesterday. I was nervous because I knew that AF was expected to show up yesterday which means lots of nice bloating. I'd also had some ice cream cake on Mother's Day. Other than that I had stayed within my Points all week though. I was pleasantly surprised when I weighed in and heard "you lost 2.5!" Yay!

Unfortunately my joy was short lived because I knew that AF would be paying me a visit. My temperature had plummeted and by last night I was spotting. I woke up this morning to find that AF had indeed dropped by to visit me again. So we are now entering our 12th cycle TTC.

The Two Week Wait Torture

I saw this on Ovusoft this morning and it really hit home so I thought I'd share it with anyone who happens to stumble across my blog :)

The Two Week Torture is that time between ovulation and AF that you ask yourself:
-Am I pregnant?
-Do I feel pregnant?
-Am I spotting?
-Is that implantation bleeding?
-Should I work out?
-Should I have a drink?

Then you convince yourself...
-My boobs are sore
-I'm bloated
-I'm tired
-I'm nauseous
I MUST BE PREGNANT!

But
-I don't want to get my hopes up
-I don't want to be disappointed
-I don't want to fool myself

Then you say to yourself...
-Stop thinking about it so much
-It'll happen when it is supposed to
-Stop stressing
-Stop obsessing

Then you wonder....
-Am I not getting pregnant because I think about it all the time?
-Is something wrong with me?
-Will I ever get pregnant?
-How long will this take?

It is....THE TWO WEEK TORTURE
