CD 3. Is anybody out there?

Blogs have gone quiet. I suspect it goes hand in hand with down time at Soul Cysters, and with more and more people carrying off their ambitions of BFPs.

As for me, I've enjoyed my month off of TTC, which I didn't feel like blogging about. Not that I've done much with it; I've had lots of luxurious, scalding hot baths and enjoyed a double of Bailey's or two, that's all -- apart from a large, new tattoo. My next sitting for that is April 17th and you know what? Pregnant or no, I'll be going. If my close friend can conceive and give birth to a beautiful baby girl after a boozy piss-up at the pub, my baby can handle some ink. Hush, dear. Mama's conforming.

Today is CD 3, which means it started out with an early morning violation of my person with an ultrasound wand. The 18 follicles seem to hold a lot of potential and my lining looks good for someone who just had a 22 day cycle. I'd forgotten what a "normal" AF is like when you're on BCP...sort of a "That's all?" effect.

Things are looking promising but I haven't had the "Start your engines!" call from the nurse yet. Barring unforeseen disaster with my P4, though, it looks like we're back in business. While I'm a bit sad that this will not be a potential 2010 baby, I am reasonably relaxed and back in the mood for a bit of balance and hope. We shall see where this goes.
