SUNSHINE!!

J and I had a fabulous road trip last week down the coast.  We stopped off at Crater Lake in Oregon which was breathtaking!  We also hiked across the San Andreas fault line, walked across the Golden Gate, drove down hwy 101 from Monterey the "Big Sur", sipped wine in Solvang, and finished off swimming with seals on Coronado beach.  Pure awesomeness!!

Currently we are still in our studio in Coronado but will upgrade to a 1 bedroom apartment in the same complex next weekend.  I am antsy to unpack!  The movers come sometime this week....  Tomorrow is my first day back to work in 10 months.  The thought of an alarm clock is giving me nightmares!!  Although I am Looking forward to the paycheck & a big fat savings account with which to pay for future petri dishes. ;)

This was our first cycle since IVF disappointment #2.  Once again, I was hoping we'd get lucky.  Once again, my dreams got crushed.  I thought I had a super short 19 day cycle.  Turns out I just had breakthrough bleeding as AF came with a vengeance middle of the night Saturday, flaring up my IBS and forcing me to reschedule a highly anticipated doctor appointment.  The next few months are going to be tricky TTC wise so I am focusing on general overall health instead.  Regular exercise, a healthy diet, yoga, acupuncture, and maaaaaybe a handful of crazy voodoo fertility tricks.  Pineapple core? Check.  Robitussin? Check.  Fertility smoothies & fertilaid?  Double check.  Anything else I'm missing that you lovely ladies recommend?  Bunk or not, I'm at the point I will try ANYTHING.

And now, to close with a bit of TTC humor. J and I joke about this all the time.  Sperms are a precious commodity, no waste allowed!!!! :) :)
