Still Here

Nothing too exciting to share, except that I am still here!  And AF is not.  She did not visit by the end of February, so I'm not sure if I will actually be able to start on the bcp's by the end of March as I had hoped.  Seems crazy that to do our FET in May, that we would get the process started as early as March!  We are hoping for a middle of May transfer.  Only time will tell....

Softball has kept me busy this week.  I do not have near enough time in my day anymore to keep up with all this blogging stuff, but don't give up on me!!  I am still slowly but surely making it through my blog reader and trying to keep up with all of you!

I tried Jessah's Vegan Recipe of Lentil Soup with Wilted Spinach this week and it was wonderful!  I had never had lentils before, but it was really good!  I didn't realize how much protein was in lentils.  I will definitely be making the recipe again.  Tonight in fact!

Our weekend is going to be spent watching basketball.  Both the boys and the girls teams at the high school I coach softball at are in the State playoffs.  Tonight we will be watching the boys playoff game at home.  Tomorrow, we are going to our nieces last basketball game of the season (it's her first year ever playing) in the afternoon, and then making a 2 hour drive to go watch the high school girls in their playoff game.

A blogger friend that I follow, just experience a loss and is devastated by it.  If you have a chance to drop in at http://belletolls25.wordpress.com/author/belletolls25/ to offer her any love and support, I'm sure she would appreciate it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

    1. It is so crazy, but it is also really nice to be able to feel like we are at least working toward the FET and not just sitting and waiting. Good luck as you decide how to proceed forward!

    1. Thank you! I know it helped me a lot through that time to read others comments and to not feel quite so alone.

  3. I actually printed out that recipe but haven't had a chance to make since it's been so hot in LA recently. Soup isn't sounding real appetizing, but I am excited to make it when it cools down again. I also just found out that lentils are full of folic acid.

  5. Have fun with the basketbal this weekend! When I was in high school, our boys team was ridiculous and won the state championship a couple of the years I was there. It was so exciting! Also, I'm trying that soup this week, too. It's cold and snowy here, so it's perfect soup weather. And finally, I'm not going anywhere! We all get busy. I haven't been around that long to know, but I would assume our blogging friends wouldn't forget about us!

  6. Ok, I am going to have to try that recipe. I love lentils!!

    I only had to be on the bcp for 3 weeks before my IVF. It's so exciting when you can finally start taking them because it really starts to sink in that another try at a baby is just around the corner!

  8. Sounds like a fun weekend!

    I'd contact your RE if AF doesn't show within the next two weeks or so. They might be able to jump start it for you now that your beta was at 4.

  9. Yay! So glad you tried ad liked the recipe. It's one of my faves. It's good that coaching is keeping you busy cuz waiting sucks when you want to move forward. I'll probably be cycling in May too.
