A positive meeting with my RE

I have to update my last post. Once the clock hit 7:30 p.m. the kids started pouring in to trick or treat. We ended up having at least 25-30 kids. Some of them had really sweet costumes. I can't wait for the day when we will be able to go to do this with our kids. But that will still take a while... Once again DH showed his amazing skills with kids. He will be a great dad. I can't wait to see him become one.

Thank god, it is Friday. I look forward to having time off and relax a little bit. I will be traveling part of next week so I need to get my stuff ready. I just got back from my RE Dr. Wonderful. He is super nice and we really like him. I went in there really prepared. I brought my cycle charts along and had made a list with all the questions I wanted to discuss with him.

He doesn't think I have a luteal phase problem. He thinks that my progesteron levels just don't reflect yet in my blood. And he is not opposed to me taking progesteron to be on the safe side.

Dr. Wonderful will start the paperwork today so that we can do two IUI cycles before the end of the year. He prefers a stimulated cycle with injectables. Makes probably sense.

On the Miscarriage diagnosis, he still thinks that it is the endometriosis that is causing the miscarriages or failed implantation.

And he has worked with our adoption agency before, so that is good as well. He will be able to do all the paperwork they request. So one more problem solved.

What happened to Halloween?

It is Halloween night and I am sitting here in our living room. It is 7:15 p.m. and so far we didn't have a single trick-or-treater come and visit us, yet. Yes, we have our light on and we have candy ready. But no kids. It has been a steady decline since the time we moved into this house two years ago.

The first year, we had a lot of kids come by and we had tons of candy. Last year we already noticed a slight decline. And this year? None, so far. Strange. What happened to Halloween? Where did all the children go? Do they know about our infertility struggles and have all decided not to bother us?

I just went outside a couple of minutes ago to see whether there are any children on the street, but no one out there... Weird. Most of our neighbors don't have kids. Our neighborhood has a lot of recently married couples and some older couples or singles. But we have a family with tons of kids around the corner. Where are they?

We never did Halloween growing up in my home country. But my parents told me today that this habit has been introduced recently over there as well and they had some kids come by.

My awaking temperature has skyrocketed to 98,4 this morning, more than I had the last couple of days. And I have to go to the bathroom all the time. I hate it how I get my hopes up because they will be crushed down when AF arrives.

It is 7:30 p.m. now and we just had our first four trick-or-treaters. I believe they were part of the huge family around the corner. We asked them what costumes they were and answered us, but one teenager girl said "Beautiful". Nice attitude, I have to say!!! Or did she mean that she is normally ugly and is only beautiful today??? We'll see what the evening brings.

Happy Halloween, everyone!!!
