I did it!

This isn't really TTC related, but thought I'd share anyways! First, a little background info.
I work for a surgeon in a large orthopedic group. The MD I work for is awesome, I've been there for a little over four and a half years. I have a master's degree in Exercise Physiology, but have never really used it in a job. Because we have been trying to get pregnant, I've never really seriously thought about going back to school to become a physician's assistant...until now! I've decided, with DH supporting me, that I'm going to take the five or so classes I need as prerequisites and apply to PA school! Because I will only take one class at a time (maybe two if they are online), I won't even be able to apply to schools for two to three years, and the time it takes to finish school, including rotations and preceptorship is another two to three years, depending on the program. I know that seems like a really long time, but heck, we've been TTC for FOUR & A HALF YEARS and got nothing out of it, so this should be simple!!
I talked with my doctor about it and he is also supporting me! When I get done, I really want to come back and work with him, and he said that he would love it! Not exactly sure how it would go with me not working for him while I'm in school (PA programs are full-time day), but that's not an issue that needs to be addressed right now.

Now, if I do become pregnant, things may change, but I'm not letting it get in the way of starting things. The nice thing is that I will get CEUs for the courses that I do take for my athletic training certification/license, so nothing will be wasted if I find myself so busy with a child I don't want to continue on to PA school!

As for the new Creighton charting, I'm having a very hard time of being consistent with the "observation of the cervical fluid"! I think it's been frustrating because I have not had any fertile CM this cycle. I did have ovulation pain/cramping/bloating, but that was about it. I haven't had my follow up with the practitioner, as I kind of put off calling her back to schedule. Once I did call her, I had to leave a message and haven't heard back for almost a week now. So I think this cycle is a bust for the new charting. Another thing I'm considering doing is having a consult with nutritionist that a fellow infertile has seen. That scares the crap out of me since I love and crave certain foods and drastically changing my diet would be difficult! I think I may just do a phone consult with her (I think it's $80), see what she says, and then consider it.

DH and I (and the pup!) are off to Wisconsin tomorrow night to see his mom. We are really excited to get to spend time with her and just us, but sad that his dad isn't there anymore. We keep talking about how fun it would be to go golfing with him (I'll call him T)! T didn't really follow golf etiquette, ie, driving the cart too close to the greens, throwing his cigarette butts on the course. But, I always rode the cart with him and it was so much fun!! We really miss T!!
AF is due this weekend...pray, cross your fingers, or whatever you do that she doesn't show! I wish my optimism wasn't so high every cycle! :P
