Sorry I haven't been online at all lately, we closed on our house!! We painted the entire main floor, it was a ton of work. DH and I have been so busy unpacking, cleaning, and fixing up our house, I haven't got much sleep for the last week. We don't have internet at home yet either, that will get hooked up on June 9th, I'm actually at my Mom's right now using her computer.

How is everyone???!!!??? I really don't have time to catch up on everyone's posts today, so after I get internet back at home, we'll have to have an open forum so I can figure out how everyone is doing.

CMN, congrats on the BFP!

Emma1, Yes! Emotional, moody, down, depressed are all things open hearts can have after surgery. If the down days are more often than up days and don't seem to be getting better, I think he should follow up with his physician. Do you think your DH is a little stressed about having a baby on the way too? I'm sure he want's to be a good Daddy and is worried about providing financially for you and baby. He might not trust his body too much after having to go through such a big surgery. I had just a little operation last year, a parathyroidectomy, and since then I've been feeling like, what will go wrong with my body next?

Everyone~ I saw my OB doc. She drew labs for progesterone, prolactin, TSH, T4, and Calcium. I'm late in my cycle and so I should have ovulated by now, so that's why she is doing the progesterone level. I think she is doing the prolactin because too much can inhibit ovulation, does anyone know if I've got that correct? The TSH, T4 and Calcium she is drawing because of the whole Parathyroidectomy thing I had done last July. She said she would like to do the procedure to test if my tubes are open, you know what I mean, the long worded one. Then she said if it seems like I'm not ovulating she will put me on Clomid. I'm all for that. She agreed that 40 day cycles are a bit long, and suspects I may not be ovulating. I'm so happy she was so nice and understanding. I was afraid she would tell me to just keep trying and not want to be so aggressive since I miscarried only 7 months ago, and really have only been TTC for the past 4 months. I can just tell something isn't right, I really believe in trusting your instincts. I totally think an infertilitly workup is appropriate for me at this point.

I hope I can get to a computer again soon. Take care everyone and update me when I get back on. Probably will be after the 9th!

Emma1, CMN, Thunder214 and Shawnesha, I just scrolled down and read all your comments from the 28th. Thanks for your words of encouragement about moving into my messy house. It's getting better now. Painting really helped to freshen it up, and we had the carpet professionally cleaned in our upstairs. I still have a lot to do, I swear the people who lived there did not clean for 2 years (thats how long they owned the house). I'll try to post a link of some photos of the house in the future for you all. Probably won't be for a couple of weeks though. Thanks again!

Where is everyone? Kassimom, I havent seen you on here, did I miss something?
I was going to go shopping today, since DH has left for Pensacola for the week, but I am too lazy. I had breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, and took a nap. :)
Now its about to pour rain and its too late to go to the mall anyway.
Any new BFP's out there?
