Update

Sorry for no update lately, there's just not much going on. After the IUI cancellation from overstimming on Follistim, we took a break the following cycle. We missed O time and just waited til AF showed up this past Friday. We decided to do one more break cycle and try on our own with OPKs. If no BFP after that, we will go ahead with the last two cycles of treatment that are covered by my insurance (Follistim/IUI).
It's been really nice not going to RE appts all the time and also nice not stressing about everything. I keep thinking more and more about getting another dog, either adopting or fostering thru Retrieve A Golden Of Minnesota www.ragom.org There are so many GR's out there that need a home, and by fostering, we can see if it will work out with having a second dog in our home/lives. We'll see on that one!
Nothing else exciting going on...sad that summer is done, but I like fall too!

I wish my body could just be normal!

Well, the spotting has continued. Yesterday I thought for sure AF was here, but by the time I got home from work, there was only something there when I wiped. Same so far this morning. I'm so confused. Does Follistim cause pre-AF spotting/bleeding? I took a IC test this morning. Negative. I go see my new OB on Monday morning. Hopefully she can help me figure out what is going on. I'm also going to talk to her about doing a Laparoscopy to make sure I don't have endometriosis or any adhesions or anything that could be contributing to our infertility. Hopefully I will get some good news soon, I can't take much more of this! Maybe I was not meant to be a mother to children, only to dogs and to just be Aunt Jenny.

What is going on?

Since we didn't trigger and do the IUI, I'm not exactly sure if/when I ovulated, so not sure when AF will rear her ugly self. The BD ban was off Monday and we BD last night. I woke up this morning with brown spotting. Of course the crazy side of me thought, "implantation spotting!". We did BD 2-3 days prior to the day I think I O'd. I'm trying to keep myself from getting too hopeful. I mean, why would something like this happen to me, when it can't even happen when we try really hard?!
