I have a good one. I bought a whole bag of sugar free reeces peanut butter cups (hey at least they are low carb friendly) the other day and ate about half the bag for dinner tonight. DH kept offering me his leftovers from his happy hour tonight and couldn't understand why I wasn't hungry.
The closer I get to my IVF start date the harder I am finding it to eat responsibly.
I am overworked and under-slept (?), but DH and I spontaneously spent a couple hours shopping for clothes and house decor last night, then suddenly decided to go to our fav Thai place at 8pm on a work night. Shopping with my messed up arm/elbow was not smart, and I am exhausted for teaching and then tutoring today...but the special, unexpected time together was so worth it.

I used my flat iron on 12/25. I didn't use it again until I went back to work on 1/5. It was on the entire time.
ronniesgirl that's so scary!! Glad nothing bad happened!
I'm back to work and yesterday I got my ass handed to me. Craziest first day back to work in a long time. So on my way home I was gonna pick up treats from McDonald's bc I was feeling crummy and tired but I forgot until I pulled into the driveway. So I just went inside and told MH that I was gonna go get McDonald's and he offered to go for me. My FFFC: I knew he would offer so once I realized I forgot in my driveway I went inside and told him bc he's sweet enough to do it. I could have just gone myself.
ETA: so tired and not sure any of that makes sense but it seems to hard to change much of it. Kudos if you understand me.

I cried at work yesterday cause my clinical supervisor was being crazy (and I'm on my meds) and it made her feel really bad. Good!
We had a girls night last weekend and my one girlfriend got so drunk we had to call her H to pick her up (passing out on bathroom floor/throwing up drunk). My other girlfriend took several very funny pictures of the drunkeness that she has been sending me randomly this week. I burst out laughing every time. Don't care!

I am nail biter so I wear the fake nails. I use the press ones, but also glue them on and cut them pretty short. They actually look pretty good. The confession is ever since I moved to a cube that has no one within 3 cubes of me, I have been giving myself weekly manicures at work.

I think I'm a little terrified by the fact that you're flat iron doesn't either (a) have an automatic shutoff after some period of time or (b) just break all together after being on that long. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or concerned. I'm also dying to know where you leave your flat iron?? I left my old one on one day while I was at work, and when I came home it had burned a mark into my bathroom countertop just from the heat.

Same here.
Thirded. I literally ate nothing healthy yesterday. At my OB appt. the lowest blood pressure reading was 138/99. I suppose I actually need to make those changes I have been talking about.

The injections this time have made me so tired. I have no makeup on, a polo and some slacks. Definitely not in the mood to work today, and to top it off I had me a chocolate dunkin donut (epic gluten fail). Happy Friday ladies!!!

I'm going to echo @dancerspose because wow. No auto shut off? Was it in a second bathroom that you aren't in often? Lol I'm glad nothing happened, but I'm stunned it stayed on so long!
ronniesgirl - Nice!! I've definitely left mine on throughout a weekend before, but that is impressive! Mine is on a porcelain sink, so it wouldn't do any damage.
I don't drink coffee, so Coke is my vehicle for caffeine. I try not to drink it too often (maybe twice a week?). If I do buy a bottle at work, I usually only drink half of it, but today, I'm going to drink the whole damn thing and I DGAF. I know, I know, lame confession, but that's all I've got today!

I've been craving Thair food, particularly my favorite, drunken noodles all week. I've been ever so casually finding small ways to plant the seed in DH's head for days. So, when I asked him what he wanted for dinner tonight, he suggested getting Thai food, feeling guilty that he wants to eat out, when that's been my plan all along, but now I get to blame him!

Mine is simple. I think Johnny Depp is gross. I have never gotten his appeal. I know so many women who are obsessed with him but, to me, he just looks like a weird, greasy creeper.
Me (30) DH (38) Married: 7/11 Actively TTC: 3/12 Dx: PCOS 4 IUIs = BFN IVF #1 = Over stim & Cancel IVF #1.2 = Only one embryo to transfer...CP IVF #2 scheduled for May
This morning I flipped out on MH because he's been going to the gym every morning. I mean really, what a dick for being healthy. And really I was just mad because I had to take care of the animals and put my estrogen patches on myself.
I *really* enjoy working out around the middle of my cycle. Like REALLY enjoy (if you catch my drift ) Especially when it involves lots of jumping. Today was a good day

This is a little bit of a dark FFFC, but since everyone's talking about having trouble with "healthy" eating right now, here goes. I'm honestly a little nervous about sharing this, so please be kind Trigger warning for body image or eating disorder issues.
For this FFFC it helps to know that I had a raging eating disorder including long periods of very low weight for the better part of 11 years. Had my IVF baseline today and they weighed me. With my OB in April my BMI was juuuust into the normal range. Starting w/ the RE in August it was still under 20 ("it wouldn't be a terrible thing to gain 2 lbs" is how he put it). In November with my GP (and after/during Clomid cycles), it was at 20.4, so finally in that 20-22 "golden range for fertility." Today (after a birth control month and scaling back running) it was 20.7. I should be glad about this. I should be proud about this. It means I'm eating right and not over-exercising to be optimally healthy for this cycle. And yet. You can probably guess how I actually feel. Ugh, thanks for listening.
