My chart is triphasic at the moment. There is some confusion about my last three temps because of sleep patterns. I am not sleeping until my normal wake up time. I have adjusted using the temp adjuster in Fertility Friend. I noted it in my chart.
Temping took some getting used to at first and now it is just second nature for me to wake up and put the thermometer in my mouth. The downfall is that being an obsessive person by nature, I am now obsessed with temping. I can't wait to go to sleep at night so that I can wake up and temp. I then input my information into FF and obsess about it. I pore over other charts similar to mine and freak out. It drives me crazy.
When it showed an implantation dip I was super excited. When it went triphasic, I became hopeful. That is a very bad thing for me. I am constantly having my hopes dashed. I usually don't ever get excited or hopeful about anything. I find it keeps me from being disappointed constantly. My FF analysis even has implantation signs that it analyzes. It told me my chart went triphasic on CD21. I hope my temps stay elevated. Nathan and I want a baby so bad. I had a small dip last night but Ibis and Redflag told me that it's not over to AF comes and that a small dip like that is nothing. I am expected to see AF on Sunday. I'm hoping I don't see her for a while. Monday is my test date. I have gone through quite a few pregnancy tests really hoping to see those two lines or that little plus sign. This is why I buy them 10 at a time from a website.
When I do anything I get obsessive about it. I mean absoloutely anything. For a long time it was dance. I wanted to be the best, dance with the best groups. I practiced all the time. I worry and stress about everything. I obsess over it until it just happens and there's nothing I can do about it. I analyze everything to death. Whether it's my feelings, temps, money, budgets...the list goes on. It's just how I am. I am constantly worried. Even when I appear calm, I am always thinking about how to safeguard against the most current problem.
On another note, I am also really excited to report, that I do not owe uncle sam this year! Woohoo! I was supposed to owe 5k and now I am getting back 3k. Hooray for tax professionals. I did my own taxes last year and I ended up owing. The same lady is going to amend my return to get more money back. There were a lot of things I did not claim last year. Nathan and I have already decided what we want to do with the money. We will be paying off debt and putting some in savings. After that we will take a little of it and spend it on ourselves.

Moving and Other Odds and Ends!!
We are moving on Tuesday. I am ecsatic. Originally we were supposed to move in next friday. When I told Nathan what the rate per day for proration was he said "well lets move in sooner, the sooner the better." I totally agreed with him. I was so excited to call our contact back and let him know we wanted to move in sooner. We go get the new keys to our beautiful new townhome on Tuesday at 9am.
I have spent the majority of Friday and today boxing up everything. The kitchen is packed. The only thing left is the pantry. The guest bathroom has been packed, our bathroom for the most part except for a few necessities. The living room and our room is pretty much done. I am so excited.
Today I am 5DPO. I am really hoping we get pregnant this month. That would be the icing on our cake. I am so happy I used an OPK this month so I knew for sure. Fertility friend is pretty accurate but without an OPK you don't know for sure when you are ovulating. Because of that the baby dancing timing is off and it makes for no babies that month. That has happened to us a couple of months now. This month I bought some OPKS and our Baby dancing was timed perfectly according to our software.
Nathan has been totally cute. I enter my FF data on his computer and latey he has been checking it out and asking questions. My poor baby has also been sick. I feel so bad for him and wish I could make him feel better.
We didn't go up to San Antonio because Nathan is sick. We don't want to compromise her immune system as it is crappy from the chemo and the surgery. So no washer and dryer this weekend. Next weekend we plan on going up.
That's it for now. Back to packing or maybe a nap since I have been busting ass all day.

My visit with the Reproductive Endo!
Well today I went to a reproductive endocrinologist. Let me just say first that Nate and I were thoroughly impressed. Everything was done very quickly, efficently and thoroughly. The longest part was the medical history and what not. They asked a ton of questions.
Dr. Groff took me off of metformin as he feels I don't need it. There is no need for me to be taking it yet as I have not been diagnosed as having problems trying to concieve. I am super excited as he wants to monitor my next cycle to make sure I am ovulating just fine. The only bad part is that my insurance doesn't cover anything. Nathan is on board with any costs we need to incur to have a baby. We both want a baby so bad it hurts.
I had an ultrasound today to determine if I had any cysts on my ovaries and it came back as negative. Everything looked normal so far. He is going to check my prolactin, thyroid, estradiol and other estrogen levels. He wants to make sure that I don't have PCOS. My old doctor told me there was no way to test. Dr. Groff got right on it and decided that he would test for it to make sure all is well. I should get the results of the blood work within 2 days. I am hoping for an answer to all my issues.
He told me that we can continue to TTC. This is great news for us. This weekend were my most fertile days and so I called him last week to make sure it was all good and he said it was. The best part, I talked to HIM. Not his nurse or a receptionist, but him. I like that about him. So hopefully this month we can get pregnant. I had a thermal shift today and I think I ovulated. So now we wait. I really hate the two week wait. It kills me. I get so anxious.
All in all today went well. I was very pleased with the way he handled everything, listened to me and answered all my questions. I am really excited to be starting on this journey with a GOOD doctor. Nathan was as impressed as I was. He went with me to my appointment and we laughed the whole time. Nothing is better than having an ultrasound and having something up your hoo-ha and having your husband make you laugh. Our ultrasound tech was the best. She joked with us and made me feel really comfy despite being naked from the waist down in stirrups!
