Birthday pics and DIY news...

Well well well, now I know that my birthday was like 2 weeks ago now but we decided to go out with some friends on friday night since the weekend of my birthday didn't work because everyone was a bit flat. The same can't be said for Friday night...we got home at 6am in a very very very drunken state, we had so much fun and I really needed it...

I have told you many times how IF has changed my life and I have recently decided to get my life and my husband back, I stopped doing everything that made me who I am, hell I even stopped drinking coffee and while this probably all helps for IF, it was really doing me no good, so I am going to live my life now and try not put IF first. Of-course this may take a bit of getting used to but we are going to try, we are not going to be stoopid about this and live our lives in a drunken stooper etc but instead of saying "but what if" all the time we are just going to try and live like we did before IF came along...oh, the days of innocence.

As for my DIY cycle, it's been harder than I thought and now remember what it was like trying on our own without Dr's to tell is what to do and when to do it. The whole IVF seems to have messed things us quite a bit, I was hoping to have a normal cycle this month seeing as tho last month was so strange and altho it is looking better, things are still strange.
I am on CD17 today and have had some cramping in my ovary area since day 7, I was worried that I may have a cyst but didn't feel like getting proded and pocked so I left it, I'm happy to say that I have had tons of EWCM for 4 days now and it is finally starting to dry up so hopefully that egg is going to pop sometime soon. Waiting for a temp rise (yes, I caved...don't know how to do this without help anymore). I have decided not to do the prog.esterone thing this month and just see what happens...
And now for some pics from Friday night...

Okay, so blogger is buggering me around and I need to go out quick....more pics to follow...

I'm glad you are trying to enjoy yourself a bit. You're quite right, all this IF can make us forget all the good things we had before.

Looks like a great time -- thanks for sharing pics. I'm glad you're making a point to enjoy yourself. IF can be so all-consuming.

So glad your getting back to you. You're so right that we give so much to IF sometimes and it's so important to take it back.

Good for you for making an effort to enjoy life and find yourselves before all this IF crap. I agree this IF crap can take over our life and I've lost who I was many times. Looks like you had a great time.. :) :) You go girl!!
