10DPO

You may have noticed that I am dragging myself to the NaBloPoMo finish line. It’s a really hard time to be blogging through, it’s 10DPO, my boobs are sore as hell, and I could either be pregnant or not, and I have been sitting in perfect ambigiuity – I have no hunch, no preconceptions, and have just been living-through this 2ww.  Waiting.  And the waiting is better than a BFN, but boy it’s painstaking.  The good thing is if we’re not pregnant, bring on our next pre-Christmas cycle.  Particularly with my new short cycles.  We could be inseminating again in just over two weeks.

I found that our October break from the clinic re-set my ability to stay on this rollercoaster.  I have the energy and the belief.  I am so up for whatever it takes.

In good news, Lola and I did all the Christmas shopping for the children in our lives (my nieces and nephews and her godchildren) during a 25 per cent off sale at Kmart today.  Normally I go way overboard for my nieces and nephews, but we just can’t at the moment.  Things are tight financially, and so there we were with our notepad and pen calculating prices and comparing products.  But we were in and out of the mall in just over an hour and we got a whole lot of really great gifts, at really good prices, and it was really satisfying coming home knowing we hadn’t blown the fortnightly budget.
