We've moved!

I've been meaning to post about the move and the new house for some time now but I wanted to include photos so I have been holding off until I get my arse in gear to a)take the photos and b)upload them on the computer. I still haven't managed either a or b so I thought I would write the damn post anyway. Maybe I'll add them later, although I am sure no one is particularly bothered about seeing pictures of our new surroundings.

We have been so much happier since the move. More tired and still living amongst boxes but, definitely happier.

As some of you may be aware, we spent a great deal of time stressing about whether to move at all. If you are not aware, click here and here for the history. Even a couple of days after the move we were worried that we had made a wrong move because we had left the house that we pay a mortgage on empty. You see, not only did anybody not want to buy it, they also didn't want to rent it. We dropped the rental price twice and still nothing and then the week before last I bought a frog charm for my bracelet. Possibly a coincidence but that week we sold the house. Yes, you read right. After two years and a month we have sold our house. I am trying not to get too excited or think about it too much as there is every possibility that it will fall through again. But, could this be the work of the little frog that I wear on my wrist?!

I like to think so!

Let's hope that the little frog brings us some other luck.....

Hanging on

I haven't posted recently because I am sick of sounding miserable. In reality I am not that bad, or at least, I am not that bad most of the time. I suppose I shouldn't worry about sounding miserable, this is, after all an IF blog. I just needed a break, to take a step back from it all.

This month/cycle was the first time, since the laparoscopy in December, that my fertility monitor showed an egg. I was beginning to think that the lovely Al S.ugar (the name I have, belatedly, decided to give our consultant) had done something to my ovaries when he was having a rummage round. So, the mission has been on. We have given it our best shot (lots of sex) and, as a result, I was hopeful. Now, I've always got hope towards the end of a 2ww but, this month I was more than hopeful, I was convinced. Convinced that if this is going to happen for us naturally then this cycle would be our best chance.

I started spotting yesterday.

And the mad IF woman reappeared.

One side of my brain was telling me that it was game over whilst the other side whispered the words implantation bleeding. The rational side knows how unlikely that is (I'm getting all the usual PMT symptoms) but the irrational side just won't let it lie until I am hit by the inevitable flood gates.

This isn't going to be our month.

On the bright side, only 8 weeks until our next appointment.

Only! I can't believe I have written that. It feels like forever since my laparoscopy. I am so sick of waiting.

Other news, we are moving tomorrow! Finally, after living in limbo for two years we have decided enough is enough. The house is being left empty as we have had no interest in either renting or buying which isn't ideal but, I'm beyond caring. Looking forward to the move and a week off.
