What a lousy blogger I am. I have the best intentions but we know what they pave. I truly can't believe it's been so long since I've been here.
Like everyone else I know, my life has been seriously crazy the last few weeks. I've been doing a lot of thinking but definitely want to do more writing.
As for the infertility stuff, I'm easing back into it.
New acupuncurist:Check. I'm officially over my 'it has to be an actual Chinese acupuncturist' belief. She's great, I like her and tell her every week not to get too excited. We're just going through the motions.
Actually using free fertility monitor every morning:Check. Getting back into the peeing on a stick habit isn't that bad.
Taking herbs twice a day: hmmmm. Lots of room for improvement there.
Deciding on next trip to Garden State: Check. (also a double entendre for those of you that get it). It's gonna be April...probably late April for those keeping score. Definitely after college basketball season is over. That is actually important to me this year.
Deciding on schedule for rest of year: Pretty damn close. Last two rounds of minimal stim ivf in April and August. Why? Well the both start with A so why not. That way I can have a big 4-0 blowout in September and drink like a fish. And D is for donor...just like December and what better way to end the year, don't cha think? I hear Cape Town is lovely in December.
Working out:Check. All regular like. Yay me.
Eating right: Check. So far so good.
Yoga: I think about it every day. Does that count? And how cool is it that the Fertility Yoga chick herself is a Desperate Housewife? But what does it mean that she committed suicide (on the show).
Getting regular sleep, curing insomnia, not being depressed:Hey, I'm peeing on a stick every morning, why isn't that enough? DEFINITE room for improvement. I do have a stash of Ambien next to my bed. I'm much more willing to use it these days.
On that note, I should be off to bed and the land of nod. Be back soon, I promise.
Criminy, Millie! I've been standing here for days, sometimes in the rain and cold, waiting for you to resurface. Geez. Have a little consideration, would ya?
Congrats on the new TCM doc. I myself have a container of herbs I haven't been taking. Must get back to it. I put my thermometer away. I never returned to the TCM after our first appointment (not because of him, mind you). I guess my sorry sad little soul has just given up. Heck, I can't even drum up a donor! Maybe I'll be joining you NEXT December in Cape Town.

Glad you posted again Millie. I hope your new TCM is good. I put my themometer away too and think I'll try a new TCM doc just to go through the motions too. I've been with my last one for a year now and haven't gotten anything.

Ok. I'm an idiot. I can't figure out how to individually reply to comments. Can anyone help me with that?
wessel--oooh the guilt. it's been cold and rainy here so i was too afraid to type. might get struck by lightening, ya know? you'll find the right donor. i just know it.
emily--no way could i even try the thermometer thing. i'm no good at getting up at same time. peeing,that i can manage.
