TTC Plans, etc...

So I had my visit with the RE on Monday and we are officially TTC again. This first cycle is completely unmedicated - sort of. I should say it is completely unmedicated per Western medicine standards. I am temping/charting to see if I will O on my own. I never in a million years thought I'd be doing that again! We know that injectibles work, but we are trying to minimize the risk of multiples due to my cervix issues. So, the official plan of attack is:

1. Temping/charting, 2 hour GTT and possibly metformin if needed, taking vitex (chasteberry herb), learning/practicing self acupressure.

2. Temping/charting, metformin if needed, Femara, monitoring with ultrasound, trigger shot, acupressure.

3. Low dose injectibles, metformin if needed, monitoring with bloodwork and ultrasound, trigger shot, IUI, acupressure.

4. If all else fails choose between higher dose injectibles with no IUI or IVF with single embryo transfers.

I'm hoping for options 1 or 2 to work!!!

It's been awhile since I've updated on my goals, so here we go. I'll try to make it brief!!

Series 7: No progress. Bad Kate!

Weight Loss: Stalled. Great, considering the massive amount of pumpkin cookies I've ingested in this last week.

TTC/Savings: Officially 1/6th of the way there. Apparently we don't care too much about completing this before TTC!

Reading: Goal to read 10 books in my 30th year. Completed 4, working on #5. If I turn the tv off, I'll finish it tonight. Note: Check out the bottom of the blog to see what I've read so far and what I'm currently reading.

Movies: Watch 1 movie/week. On track, minus vacation week.

Sewing: Finished my friend's tree skirt. Putting the finishing touches on my friend's baby gift.

Letters: Write at least one letter/week. Totally fell down on this the past week. I promise to write this week though!
