This weekend looked good. It really did. Megan had sore bbs and a few episodes of cramping. I've been doing lots of chatting to her tummy in hopes I can encourage the embryo-let to implant, hang on, and develop into the baby we're trying to hard for! The only thing frustrating this weekend was a pretty steep temperature dip, down .2 degrees yesterday and again today. I'm really hoping that it's an implantation dip (which it still could be at this point!!!). Gosh, this waiting thing makes me crazy.
I'll write more tomorrow I hope :) I am hoping hoping hoping to have good news!

6/7 DPICI today
We have some tentative good news to report! Today we've added some additional symptoms, namely very sore, bruised-feeling bbs and throbbing in the lower belly. M says the throbbing isn't painful, but that it feels bubbly "with a heartbeat" in her uterus. I'm sure hoping and praying this is a good sign! It's hard to not get excited when things seem so promising, but we shall see, we shall see. More updates to come over the weekend!

5/6 DPICI
Wow, the wait sure does seem to be flying this time. I mean sure, each day can be a little rough, but I can hardly believe that TOMORROW we'll be half done!
I have a little news to report. Yesterday, Megan told me there were some additional signs and symptoms (sore bbs, different food tastes, among others) and today her temperature is up again after a verrrry slight dip for two days. It's at the highest level yet! So we're allowing ourselves to be hopeful now, cautiously...it's so hard not to be. I think we just believe so much that this is meant to be that we stay hopeful each and every day until we have clear evidence that the wait is over.
That said, our weekend plans might include a trip to the beach to get in a little extra rest and relaxation. It was so much fun to see the dolphins last time, I can't wait to do that again! It doesn't look like we'll get to paint b/c the roofers might be coming, but we'll see what happens. More updates to come!

4/5 DPICI and holding!
Not too much to report yet. Megan's temperature is still up (though yesterday it dropped 0.2 degrees and held that level today), and there are a few other mild symptoms, including some "fizzies" last night!
Oh, right, last night. I got free tickets to see the Dixie Chicks and it was great fun. Much to our surprise, Anna Nalick (who sings 2 a.m.) was the opening act! Heck, we would have paid to see just her! I'm not a huge fan of the Dixie Chicks, but I really have an appreciation for them now for a couple of reasons. First, that fiddle player is damn good. I can't imagine being able to play like that! Second, the lead singer has a truly wonderful, powerful voice. Third, I am pleased to support a group of women who are successful based on their talent, not on their looks. I'm glad we went.
So, we got to bed pretty late after the concert, but I seem to be doing ok energy-wise today. I'm just at work and missing Megan like MAD. It sucks to be away from her during the TWW :P I know, I'll survive.
So, next update to come in a couple more days! We're trying to hold out until day 15 to test, but I doubt we'll make it that long. We'll keep you posted.

2/3 DPICI, 3 DPO, and counting
So everything went just swimmingly (haha, pun DEFINITELY intended). Megan even thought she felt ovulation pain 3 hours after the ICI on Friday, which meant our timing was right on! We went out gallivanting to the Reading outlet mall on Saturday and did another ICI that evening, which was followed by a dinner of the absolute worst pizza we've ever had. Philadelphia should be ashamed of Golden Crust Pizza!
Anyway, Sunday we went to the Jersey Garden outlet mall in Elizabeth, NJ, and that was a BLAST. We had so incredibly much fun! There were tons of kids stores, including Old Navy, Gap, and Gymboree outlets, which definitely kept our attention. On the way home, we hit the regular Gymboree and spent our remaining Gymbucks on some of the most cute clothes ever. I think we're done with clothes now, and we'll be focusing on diapers and other kinds of baby supplies when we need retail therapy.
No symptoms to report yet, though Megan and I are still in disbelief that she ALREADY ovulated, even though her temps and chart definitely say she did! There is no feeling that we made something happen this time, though that feeling last time could have been first-time jitters. It's only day 3, so there's no way we'll know for another week and a half anyway, so we'd best sit tight, cross our fingers, and pray! I will of course keep the updates coming...

So it's been a while...
So after our BFN and chemical pregnancy last cycle, I didn’t feel too much like blogging. We’ve been focusing on each other and buying baby stuff ;) No, really. We’re amassing quite the collection of very small clothes, which we’ve enjoyed.
Megan’s cycles are usually really, really long, and we weren’t expecting her to ovulate again until early August. Heh, we were wrong. So, today Megan wakes up and notices that her fertility signs, which have all been quite negative up to this point, all of a sudden took a turn for the VERY positive! She took an ovulation test, and lo and behold, she’s ovulating! We ordered a fresh tank of swimmers today and they should arrive tomorrow. We’re very excited.
Sadly, I have to go on business to Harrisburg tomorrow, leaving no wiggle room for me to skimp on work to do the insemination, but we can do it as soon as I get home. Then we’re back into the TWW again! I’m so excited!
In other news, we gave my dad the bookshelves and moved the desk in the soon-to-be nursery and bought some really, incredibly cute nursery bedding, so that’s moving along nicely. The room is all clean, so it’s starting to have that “new apartment” smell. We’re keeping the door closed so the darn animals don’t ruin anything. Megan is working hard on her writing and I’m plugging away at work, trying to think about other things than TTC, but that’s much easier said than done.
I will keep you posted! Beware of almost-daily symptom updates ;)

I can't believe we don't know yet
So, nothing yet. And no period yet. M had some light, light spotting this morning, but nothing since then. Who the heck knows what's going on? I certainly don't. If her period doesn't show soon, she's going to be giving the doc a call to see what's going on. This is getting pretty crazy...
