No News Is Good News

or rather, it's just no news. I've been quietly not obsessing about fertility, and that has been a real relief. Focusing on other aspects of myself and my spiritual life. Really, there is more to me than just trying to make a baby! I just need to remind myself of that sometimes.

Back on Clomid, with estradiol for uterine lining. My cd12 u/s is scheduled for Friday, and the IUI will probably be Sunday.

Fall is really here now. The woodstove is going, apples are ripening, and the rains have come for good. I'm ready for it. I'm ready for the messiness of old leaves being thrown about, and quiet evenings reading in front of the fire. And stew -- the lifeblood of our winters, cooked on the woodstove, made with a friend's beef and roots from our garden. mmmmm, cozy.


I am grateful for:
* peace of mind
* fall weather
* my sweet dogs curled up on my dirty clothes

What I am doing today to take care of myself:
* started the day with quieting my mind, allowing conscious thoughts to create the framework for my day, rather than having the day just thrown at me

I too am loving fall. I am ready for hibernating. I am almost thinking it is worth getting fat to gobble up all the warm comfort food.

Heres to hoping your news turns exciting soon!

I love this cooler weather as well!

Best of luck with this cycle, honey!

Our weather seemed to change overnight from an unusually warm September directly into a cold blustery October. I kind of like it.

And I agree with you about the nice bright red blood of a healthy period. I was almost surprised at how fresh it could look once I started acupuncture.
