Cramps

9dpo and I'm getting the typical cramps. Not that I believe that I can get pregnant naturally, but always hopeful. But surprise surprise! Feels like it will be over in a day or 2.
One positive, my appointment with the doc is next week which will probably be CD3 or 4. I can ask for a antral follicle count on a free cycle. Woo hoo! More information that doesn't really matter.

Just a little mid-month note

Just back from our trip to Florida.  The weather was nice for a few days, but even on the not-nice days it was a great trip.  We had a good time with our friends, saw some cool stuff, and totally relaxed.  I have to say, for the first week in probably a year or more, I thought of TTC less than 5 times.  It still came into my thoughts a few times, but not much.  We got home last night and I STILL forgot to take my BBT (I didn't even take the thermometer on holiday).
So back to work tomorrow.  I'm not looking forward to it but I'm not dreading it either.  My goal is to really get some things accomplished with my clients over the next 6 weeks.  I'd like to go he extra mile for a while, since I feel like I've been a little half-assed lately.  
Next Dr. appointment Feb 3rd.  Then we'll see what next.

CD1

And, back to CD1.
It's some evil Deja-Vu.
Or some never ending merry-go-round.
But I'm ok.  I don't honestly believe I can conceive naturally anyway.
And Sunday we're off to Florida where the weather is at least warmer than here.

My thought process today

Being in a good mood this weekend, I thought, maybe I will be one of those people who get naturally pregnant after IVF.  Maybe THIS will be the month.  I mean, it happens.  Why not for us?
I googled pregnancy after IVF this weekend and see that it does happen.  I then read that it's extremely rare, but then even MORE rare if your diagnosis is "unexplained infertility".
So then I returned to an old question; "what the fuck is unexplained infertility?" I call bullshit on this diagnosis.  There HAS to be a reason.  Why can't they find it?  Isn't my low ovarian reserve the reason?  Or my short luteal phase?  Come on!
So it's 9dpo which means I might have a day or 2 left in this cycle, the first following IVF attempt #2.  I don't feel depressed about the cramps tonight though.  Just fucking pissed off.
It's -19 outside and my dogs want to go for a walk.  Nothing like the cold to snap me out of my funk.
