Is Murphy being the meanest SOB on the planet?

I'm CD41, no AF yet obviously. Boobs started getting sore last night which is a typical 1-2 week prior to AF symptom. However, very vein-y boobs this morning-not typical. I haven't tested because I thought what was the point. Progesterone was way too low and we stopped BDing around the time I had the blood test. I assume this cycle is annov. But there is a small part of me that is wondering. Now that I've typed this I'll get a BFN because I swear on my pinkie toe the minute I start contemplating the possibility of a BFP, Murphy shows up and goes Nah, Nah, Nah. What as an ASSHAT! Honestly, even if I did get a faint line I would not believe it is a viable pregnancy. How can one go from a progesterone level of 0.7 not quite 3 weeks ago to a viable pregnancy?

Reproductive Endocrinologist and bullets

~Appointment is set for June 3rd at 11am. I cannot wait.

~Heading to Florida for the 4th of July! We are staying with Dupree and he has a place right on the beach...or so he says. :)

~Heading to Mexico at the end of July for vacay. A week of pure bliss I hope.

~Sink/plumbing issue in the bathroom. Stupid 50-60 year old pipes! J is home today working to fix this issue and is also installing a heating/AC vent in the bathroom. Yippee!

~Picked up patio chairs and cushions yesterday so the table is no longer lonely. Just need to get that deck built!

~Looking forward to a 3 day weekend.

~My husband is now a member of the Knights Templar! Congrats baby!

Infertility

My progesterone levels were 0.7 this cycle at CD21 so my doctor is referring me to an RE(reproductive endocrinologist). According to my doctor's nurse we should get an appointment rather quickly. I'm expecting a phone call today with the details of the referral. According to my doctor the RE is awesome, will listen to our concerns and questions and she does a lot of testing to figure out what the problem may be. I pray we have answers soon.

mundane

Nothing new or exciting happening in our world. I got stuck today for yet another blood draw for yet another progesterone test. I forked over some $$$ on Ebay for a fertility monitor which came too late to use this month but if AF shows up in a couple of weeks we can try that out.

We moved Amy's annual summer kick-off to our house last weekend so as not to have to deal with Opera Man et al. She usually holds her party around the pool/grill area at her apartment complex. Last year, one of her neighbors who was totally drunk thought one of her guests stole his vodka. He was really indignant about it as he stumbled around the pool pissy drunk. We were all drinking beer that night with the exception of Amy's usual Jack and Diet. The guy would not let it go either. He confronted her twice after that. We call him Opera Man because he likes to blare opera music in his car. He is one of those greasy club types. The ones with the gold chains, the shirt open to reveal chest hair or lack thereof, the way too tight shirt to show off his muscles kind of guy. Icky in my opinion.

Anyway, we moved the party to our place, more privacy, the use of our gas grill versus the charcoal ones now in residence at Amy's place, the Wii and J's new PS3. Yes, J HAD to have GTA IV so we purchased a PS3 last week. The BBQ was a good time. Amy's ribs and beans were delish like always. We ended the evening with a drive to Bobby's in the convertible for milkshakes-a Saturday summer tradition.

We have a few house projects in the works coming up which include J taking a week off of work. The plan is to finally move the huge piles of dirt into position around the end of the driveway to level out the ground there, build the deck, have the house exterior painted and finally refinish the hardwood which J has decided he does not want to tackle on his own. I'm also ready to do a little painting. I need a change in a few rooms.

Amy and a few other ladies are very excited for our GNO(Girl's Night Out) at the end of this month. We will be off to the theater to see the much anticipated Sex and The City movie. We are going to try to sneak in some of those mini bottles of champagne. (Kerri-ring a bell? 90210 farewell party?) I hope I won't be allowed to drink champagne by that time but we'll see. Tickets will be purchased today by the lovely S! I can't wait.

Later!
