Moving Forward

I'm at work and really shouldn't be blogging. But it's the last day before the Christmas break, I have very little to do and my boss isn't here so I'm going to anyway!

We saw the new doctor on Monday. What a difference! She was awesome and supportive and very very helpful. She looked at all the charts and lists and information we had prepared and said, 'I don't think you have a fertility issue, I think you have a timing issue' and proceeded to give us a referral to a clinic (note that any form of clinic treatment is only legal right now if we are considered medically infertile...). She said that it's just a matter of going to a clinic that doesn't care about that particular law. So now we have an appointment on February 21.

She also said that she believed OPKs and temperature charting to be more trouble than they are worth. She said that my cycle is regular enough to ignore all that and just inseminate on day 15 and day 16 of each cycle in the meantime. So J is coming down thursday (day 15) for insemination on thursday night and friday morning. That's not to say that we've stopped temping though! We want to keep that up for peace of mind and to keep an eye on things (and my temp dipped this morning like we expected so FF might change it's mind about super early ovulation). The OPKs may just be over though. I don't think they've been accurate at all for us. When the doctor looked at when we'd inseminated using opks she said that most of them weren't timed properly at all.

In other news, we have a funky new house to live in! fully renovated, big back yard, so much nicer than where we are now.... things are looking up. UPDATE: We didn't actually get the house because the owner decided to object to our pets despite the fact that the current tenant has two dogs... Bummer.

Princess recovered from last week's school accident (falling off a fence to slice her back open on rusty wire) to gain her junior brown belt in tae kwon do as well as get an award for most improved this year. She got her school report and did extremely well given the complacency of her teacher - we don't think that Princess was challenged at all this year - she's a bit ahead for her age and class so she was just let be. There will be discussions with new teacher about this!

Only three days of full time work to go. Am so looking forward to slowing down. And to spending the summer holidays with Princess. Reconnecting, hanging out, having fun!

And we booked our major holiday too. Flying to Queensland, staying in apartment with pool, going to theme parks (and a mega mini golf crawl day because we're dorks!). Princess is going to be so excited when presented with her 'holiday voucher' xmas morning... she still thinks that if we go on holiday at all, we'll just go camping somewhere... I can't wait to see her face.

Boss is back, better get some work done!
