Not the brightest bulb in the box....

Ok, I'll admit it. I'm not the brightest bulb in the box! LOL! I started taking Progesterone and started a new diet (including no sugar, wheat or caffeine). So now, I'm PMSing, having sugar withdrawals and am craving chocolate. Ugh! The sugar/caffeine headaches, well & probably starch too. Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad combo. I've been so short with my family this week. I feel awful about it, but it's as if the connection from my brain to my mouth doesn't work! Words just fly out! *sigh* I also have a double ear infection and feel miserable. Ok, I'm off my pity pot. I just can't wait for AF to get here.....you know, so I can get all hopped up on different hormones! LOL!!

June 3rd....really?

I have been a terrible blogger! If there is anyone reading this, I'm so sorry! I know how much I hate it when I'm following someone and they just disappear! :oP Ok, the last cycle I talked about was a bust, I had positive OPK's but I didn't ovulate and had to use progesterone to induce AF....the next cycle I used soy and femara together....same thing happened. Positive OPK's, but no AF and no BFP. So I took more progesterone. Then it was almost time for our Disney World trip and if I took Femara, I'd most likely O on our trip (we shared a room with our 9yo & 6yo) and I knew we wouldn't be able to BD like we would need to....so we had an off cycle. I'm really glad we did, I enjoyed not worrying about anything while we were gone! It was such a fun trip (I'll post a short slideshow soon) and I can't WAIT until January 2012 when we'll surprise the girls with another trip!! Anyway!
I'm currently taking progesterone again so we can finally move on to our first 10mg Femara cycle!! I'm SO excited! I'm working out and eating MUCH better and I really feel like we'll get pg soon! I'm also cutting back on all my duties at church so I can really focus on homeschooling our girls and taking care of my home. I really think the Lord's been calling me to do that for a long time and I just haven't been willing to relinquish the hold I had on those things. It's been difficult to be a SAHM....not many people see the true value in what I do and I'm a bit of a people pleaser so that bothers me. But I'm letting go of that insecurity too. I can't worry about what people think. I also need to lose at least 100 lbs and I barely have time for the things that I do now....let alone add serious weight loss to the list. Prayers would be greatly appreciated! Hang on tight! This wonderful life has been quite a ride!
