1 week down, 1 to go

One week from today I will have my follow up with Dr. D. Let's all say a little prayer that my stupid cyst has shrunk and that we can get this show on the road!!

I'm in Love

So the Blockbuster down the road by my house is sadly going out of business. I am probably the last person in the world to not have Netflix account but I've always loved wondering the aisle of movies at the video store. The only good thing to come out of it however is that they are selling all their stock. Last night after a scrumptious dinner, my husband and I stopped by to see what we could find. I could not be more excited because I found the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice on their already picked over shelves. The A&E version is my absolute favorite version of this classic novel. This is probably because the 6 hours of film ensure that almost all the minute details that make the book so amazing are captured in the film. I'm so excited to finally own it, and for the bargain basement price of $4.99 I am sure I will get my monies worth!

We also were able to pick up Frost/Nixon, Blood Diamond, Dirty Dancing, Duplicity and Doubt. Its nice to infuse our DVD collection with some new blood.  I've been getting really tired of what we had! I am going to try to go back today or tommorow with out DH, he got too impatient last night for me to look through everything.

Ridiculously Exciting

I know I am probably in the minority, but I must confess my undying love for all things country music. (I attribute it to my years in Kentucky). So when I heard about the Bayou Country Superfest, I knew I absolutely had to go. We don't get a ton of live country music here, so a whole 2 days of it was too good to miss. I tried to get my mom to order tickets for me because they were doing pre-sale through amex, but unfortunately by the time I asked her the pre-sale seats were all gone. However, amex did offer to get seats for her once the were on sale to the public. Well they certainly delivered! We got 9th row seats! I am so fricking excited I can't stand it!! Now I just have to wait about another 6 months to actually get to use them! 

Saturday May 29th: Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Kellie Pickler, David Nail and Gloriana

Sunday May 30th: Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn, Jason Aldean, Jake Owen and Justin Moore

The cycle that never started

Maybe cycle 16 is cursed? Seriously.

Went to the RE this morning. My cyst was at 16mm last U/S; its at 15.5mm today. So basically it hasn't shrunk at all. I'm so disappointed. The nurse was nice enough to call the Dr. for me so I didn't have to wait for him to come in after the U/S tech told her what she found. Dr. decided to put me back on the BCPs for another cycle and requested that I go back for a follow-up U/S in 2 weeks. Since he wasn't in the office yet, I wasn't able to ask him what the plan will be if it doesn't shrink in the next 2 weeks. So who knows.

I'm just so sad and disappointed.

CD1 - Cycle 16 (part deux)

Let's call this Cycle 16 part deux. I'll call my RE tomorrow morning to get set up for CD 3 bloodwork and U/S on Tuesday. I am REALLY hopefully that everything with my cyst has cleared up and we will be able to try again this cycle.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Happy Halloween

My girl friend had her baby so it turns out I will be in town. I don't have any firm plans yet, but the thought of a low key evening at home is sounding more appealing by the minute! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Where did a week go?

Time is flying right now it seems!! Its been a whole week since my last post. I should finish my BCPs on friday, which means I should hopefully be on CD1 Saturday or Sunday. Unless of course the 2+ weeks of spotting has drained my ute of all its blood. I am SOOO hoping that we are able to get back to TTC this next cycle and that the cyst is gone. Only time will tell I guess. This little interlude has confirmed in my mind that I never want to voluntarily go on hormonal BCPs again.

The work stuff has taken an interesting twist, but based on conversations today with my boss it seems like I will probably end up managing the billion dollar contract rather than the other team. At this point I'm ok with either option, I just want them to make a frickin decision so the rumor mill at work will simmer down.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is excited about Halloween! I am supposed to be visiting with a girl friend in Atlanta this weekend, but as she is 39 weeks pregnant today and having lots of contractions, I am hoping her little girl will be arriving this week!! (in which case I won't be going obviously)
