You commented on one of my posts and I had to comment back--I'm a fellow franken-uterus :) I too am still having tummy pains from my lap that was about 5 weeks ago.

I mean it's pretty ridiculous in our situation anyway being that I have never been able to get pregnant. So while the drinking, soft cheese, having sex whenever you want, etc. is great, it's a weird feeling. It took me a while to get back into the TTC groove (and I'm not sure that I am fully back because I am not convinced that we are going to get pregnant off the IUI).Non Sequitur Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268138421234170972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100765666925501518.post-30027210127700043882012-04-05T21:18:07.846-04:002012-04-05T21:18:07.846-04:00Franken-uterus!

And I've already been eyeing up my favorite beer (Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy!) at the grocery store.

I'm still temping, and timing sex, but still drinking wine, coffee, and just have such a free feeling right now. It is so nice to relax a little. <br /><br />You're so funny! I totally laughed out loud about the "before or after Project Runway?" That is our house over here too!<br /><br />I'm so sorry you've been on the medical break for so long though.
