Breaks...sometimes we just need them!

So this cycle I have basically taken a break! I was still temping, just not at 7:00 a.m. every morning! I got lazy about it and would just temp whenever I woke up! I also wasn't too worried about making sure we BD'd (baby danced) during ovulation!   The only thing I was really into doing was tracking my surges with my fertile scope! I only had 2 detected surges this cycle instead of my 4 from the previous cycle! Now that I got this break out of my system I'm ready to start a new cycle! I'm on CD30 right now and it's usually between 31-33 days!



I added working out back into my routine! Started back today with 30 Day Shred! It is brutal and with still being sick with a nasty cough it made it hard, but I pushed myself as far as I could! I really still want to lose 50-60 lbs! It will put me back into the higher end of what should be healthy for my weight! I wouldn't mind to lose even more, but this is a good goal! I won't put a time frame on it because let's face it...I hope to get pregnant soon which means I shouldn't lose that much weight! lol

I completed my bloodwork for thyroids and glucose levels! Also my hormones were checked to see where they are also! I was supposed to have my actual exam today, but we had a mandatory open enrollment meeting at work this morning! I told them I would call them back once I started my new cycle to reschedule!

Speaking of medical appointments....the open enrollment meetings leave me stressed. Insurance went up $150 which is outrageous. We can't afford to cover both of us so I have asked my husband to check into the prices from his company. If all else fails we will either each carry our own insurance or he will go ahead with what the VA is offering him for healthcare. It also leaves me feeling helpless because I could go get preventative measures covered to not have a baby, but yet insurance refuses to cover simple procedures for infertility! It almost leaves me feeling like I'm being punished for having a hard time getting pregnant! I wish that insurance companies could see how this makes those of us with difficulties feel! On the plus side I can opt in to the Flex Spending Account and whatever I put in there I CAN use towards fertility measures! :)

I hope everyone is having a great day! And baby dust and sticky dust to all my girls out there trying hard to have a baby and those who are pregnant!
