FINALLY.. Thank you Clearplan Easy

So I had my lh surge this morning!! WOOHOO! Put a call AND an email in to the nurse coordinator. Just waiting to hear back from her. I have my lab order for bloodwork and I am hoping February 6th is my lupron start day! OK gotta go workout, Bob is calling my name.. My cycle is FINALLY starting!!! :) :) :)


UPDATE: Got word to have my bloodwork done for sure on Feb 6th! WOOHOO, Lupron here I come! :) :) :)

Maybe Tomorrow?

Still no PEAK on my digital fertility monitor. Dammit! And I was wrong, TODAY is DOC 14, so of course hoping it is tomorrow since it's day 15.. Cmon ovulation, this is getting ridiculous! I feeeel like it's coming soon, but it could just be me stressing the hell out.. At least I didn't have to work out today, YAY! But tomorrow is a different story, waaaah! I know stop complaining fatty and get moving, I know, I know.. It's just between needing to ovulate, prepping for this cycle AND trying to make sure the boys are straight here at the house (and will NOT be destroying my house while I am gone!) I am in desperate need of a glass of wine!!! But I won't partake.. I'm too much of a goody goody to do that.. No chocolate, no wine, no Doritos.. C'mon maaan! OK so I'm done whining now..

OH, I WROTE THE CARD!!! I think it is lurrrrvely and now I just need to take a pic of my basket so y'all can see how much junk I crammed in it, LOL! nothing fancy just a nice wicker/wood? Basket with tons of snacks crammed in.. Snacks I would looooove to tear in to right about now, hahaha! But I won't (but she would never know if I did, muahahahaha!) OK gotta go, I'm sure something I wanted to watch is on right now.. I hope to be updating tomorrow with news of my LH surge! Y'all pray for me!

Just Checking In

Still testing at "high fertility" today.. This is day 5 of high and DOC14 (day of cycle) C'mon lh surge, damn! In other news, I put together a goodie basket for my SIL for transfer and 2ww.. Not a surprise since I asked her to send me a list of things she likes, LOL! I guess she doesn't exactly know I am making her a basket, but I'm sure she figures I asked for a reason... I am struggling with the card!! I bought a simple "Thank You" card, because I want to write something in it, but I don't even know where to start.. How do you thank someone for this kind of gift?! I keep starting to write and I just put the pen down.. I think I am gonna type it out first then hand write it in the card once I like what it says.. I tell her THANK YOU all the time and she says "Oh, stop it's all good" but dude, really? How can I stop!?!?! I...Can't.... So I am sitting here with a splitting headache and still haven't figured out what to write.. Maybe something like "C" we love you and will not ever find the words to let you know how much we appreciate you and what you are doing for us. BUT, if you ever need a kidney or part of a liver, I'm your girl. ;-) How's that sound? :-D I could just write THANK YOU in it until I run out of space... Ah well... Back to it I go.. Oh and BOB Harper is THE DEVIL! OMG!! That freaking Biggest Loser game is kicking...my...asssss... Yes, ass needs THAT MANY S's in it! DUDE... That game is the real deal.. I don't even think it can be called a game because there was NOTHING FUN about it! BUT, I burned a shit load of calories and lost another LB! So Bob knows his shit.. I get to rest tomorrow, but back at it for 5 days in a row after that! :-/

Getting Closer

Today was the first day my digital OPK asked me to "pee on a stick" I did.. And it said HIGH FERTILITY! YAY!!! So my surge is definitely on it's way! I am hoping it is this weekend and I can have my progesterone level checked by next Friday and start Lupron then! Cmon LH surge!! On the weight loss front I am kind of at a plateau.. I am down 12lbs total and stuck.. I am NOT gaining, but NOT losing either for the last few days.. SO... I amped up my workout today and Oh...Em....Geee! I asked Jesus to come take me at several points during the workout!! I just keep pushing forward knowing it's for a good reason! Aaaaand on that note... I talked to the nurse coordinator today and went over my current BMI and what the anesthesiologists cut off was and I MADE THE CUT AS OF NOW! WOOHOOO! So anymore weight loss at this point is just gravy (hmmmm, gravy.. I miss you!) So I will continue on like I haven't reached it, so I know for sure I am in the "good to go" zone come egg retrieval! So I am 13.5-14lbs away from my goal for egg retrieval and IF I reach it by then, I would only need to lose another 40 to be at the weight I was when I MET my hubby! Oh yeah, it's ON I'm coming for you weight loss!!!

To assist me in my goal I have ordered Bob Harper and he will be here Friday, LOL! Well him and Jillian via the Biggest Loser game for the Kinect! I am already afraid of the pain they will bring, but I'm excited to give it a whirl! I need to be able to switch up my workout between to two programs..

So that's about all that's going on for right now, will update more once there's more to tell!
