Hey girls!
Well, some semi-good news on my part....no BFP yet, but today lifted my spirits some.
I had my appointment with my new doctor, and because we work for the same area he had everything done as a favor, so it didn't cost one cent. Thank goodness!! I went through a battery of tests (one left for me) and everything came back in the clear. I am perfectly healthy, normal periods, obviously ovulating correctly because my period comes on time every month, etc. He was such a sweet and funny man, he put me right to ease at the first moment he started talking to me. His nurse was a sweetheart as well! What a change from my last ob!!
I have to go do one more test just to be 100% sure that everything is okay...it's some long word that starts with an H, but basically I go in right at the end of this period (and it started today right after the exam, thank god...how gross would that be?!) and have a dye injected into my uterus to make sure there are no polyps or fibroids. If that's in the clear, he said that I can be ruled out 100% (though after my hysterscope today, it showed nothing on the monitors that could be wrong with me). He said that he bets $10 that my husband has either a low sperm count or lazy sperm...hehe. He pointed out that we got pregnant once after trying for 8 months, so he is pretty sure that it's on my hubby's end. He's going for his test either this weekend or next week.
If it comes back as that, then he said that we could go to super easy route of getting preggers by my hubby giving a sample in the ob office (I LOL at that one) and then they would take a special syringe to help move them up higher to where the boys need to be when I'm ovulating. Lay there for 15 minutes, go home and that's that.
He also put me on a cocktail of B5, folic acid, a pre nate and baby aspirin. I asked about that, and he said that the baby aspirin kills all of the bad bacteria that may be in your body while the rest helps fine tune everything.
Before he left the room, he asked when my next pap smear was...I told him it was last August. He responded with, "Eh, you're good. You won't need another one in August because you'll be pregnant by then."
So...that's where I am right now. Woot!!

The last time I was in the store I was 9 weeks along with my Mom & just talking about everything we wanted to get for the baby. We already have a bunch of baby stuff at home & that doesn't bother me to see, so I'm not sure what I'm worried about. It's like a blizzard outside right now, so who knows if we'll even make it out to shop tonight or not...
I bought a ton of stuff waaaaaay early in my pregnancy, and now it's all in the closet next to my desk. I feel sick looking at it some times. I get very jealous when I see pregnant women anymore, and I see them more and more each day... 
We are in the pre-phases of TTC - taking prenatals, trying to give up caffeine, lose weight, etc. Yesterday was the 8 month anniversary since losing Macy, 
and I just really, really need & want this. I wanted another baby before all this happened, but now it's Really important. KWIM? I just know that I'm going to keep being sad without a baby and I'm still going to be sad with a baby, but at least I'll have something to make me smile, too. 
Plus, I'm not getting any younger. lol 
I'm still just barely in my healthy weight range, but at the very high end of it - losing about 10 lbs would be perfect right now, but I'm just trying to eat healthy & not focus on weight loss too much right now. With a pregnant coworker due in March, it seems everyone is bringing in goodies to munch on every day. I've been good about avoiding them - enough already!! LOL 
It sounds like it could really be easy if it is as simple as hubby's got a low count. Can I ask - how much baby asprin do you take a day? Is this something you take every day of your cycle? I've been hearing about more & more people taking it, and just curious how to go about it and all the benefits of it. 
but i have been eating healthy lately for me....a v-8 a day(hey, it counts as 3 veggies!), more fruit and more veggies and more protein. apparently more protein is supposed to help with IVF. i even had eggs for dinner last night to get more in! lol Congrats to you on barely gaining weight on your trip- that is awesome! 
And yes, every single day of the cycle.
I was a size 2 in the fifth grade then grew over 2 inches that summer and came back a size 4 I was very long and lankey and boney...I looked very silly.
Tracy!!!
I've always been super petite, averaging around 95 lbs until I turned 30 (with the exception of a couple years in college on dorm food when I got up to 110). After I turned 30, I was on anti-depressants for a while and put on over 30lbs in 10 months...
...I was very surprised by that, and those extra 30lbs on me really showed up. People who hadn't seen me in a while were very surprised, and actually a lot of people thought I had some medical condition causing me to bloat up!
