Guess what I got for Christmas?!

I woke up this morning feeling awful. Last night I was all achy before bed and when I got up I felt sick to my stomach and feverish. Great. So I went to the bathroom and guess who arrived?! No, it wasn't Santa...it was AF!!!!! At long last the b!tch has finally returned. Sadly I wasn't as excited to see her as I thought. In fact I was a little sad about it, but when I was sitting in front of the Christmas tree with DH opening our presents I looked outside at the beautiful snow and decided that this is God's way of saying that from now on it will be better. All I really wanted was AF and snow on Christmas and here it is. Merry Christmas to you all!!

That is bittersweet, but also pretty awesome.  What's the final count?  I'm hoping that Santa at least will have brought you a semi-normal cycle length this month along with AF. 
PAIF/SAIF, PGAL/PAL welcome.
TTC since March 2010 ~ Dx Unexplained IF September 2011
2011: IUI + Clomid = CP#1
2012: 3 more IUIs + Clomid = 3 more CPs. One on-our-own pg, also CP
2013: BTB IUI + Lupron/Follistim/Prometrium/PIO = CP #6
IF testing, RPL testing, Autoimmune testing = all normal
So lost.

Thanks for all the love ladies! I actually didn't turn out to be sick at all, it was AF the whole time. Guess she figured since she hadn't been around in a while she should go all out this time. Anyway, everything's fine and I'm just really glad to have my body finally doing what it's supposed to do. No more surgeries or procedures, no pills or medications. And I just had to laugh at the timing. Merry Christmas to me! The final count was 167 days. Guess I need to update my award :)

Aww, bummer. Sometimes Santa just misses the mark, although for me (for once) this was a good thing. I'd love to be cycle buddies, but since I'm long-term TTA and not temping or charting I'm pretty sure I'd make for a sucky buddy LOL. Thanks for the offer though!
