Day 48: I Hate You Period

Dear Aunt Flo,

I hate you.  Like, you are my least favorite blood relative (get it?)  When I get you after convincing myself that I could be pregnant, I want to listen to sad songs and find ways to make them to pertain to my situation.  It's not like I'm getting any younger here.  Each time you appear, my dreams of a family of 4 (kids that is) shrinks and I realize that we are likely not going to get to have that many kids.  So thanks a lot.  I hope to not see you again for about a year and a half.

Not even sincerely,
Megan

Day 44 or so: Will It Or Won't It?

Here we are, I'm on day 44 (give or take a day) of taking Pregnitude and I am on day 42 of my cycle. I feel like I have been playing the waiting game for the past month or so, since I'm never really sure when I ovulate.  I got a smiley on my OPK test about 11 days ago, but I'm not sure that I actually ovulated, as that has been my problem. 

So I got a little restless this week and called my doctor to get the process started for going back on the Clomid. I know I didn't give the Pregnitude that much of a chance, but we've been trying for 6 months, I had to have Clomid last time and I'm getting older and we want a big family.  I know God has His own plan and I want to be willing to follow that, but I did feel peace after making that call.  I go for an ultrasound on Thursday to check out my lady parts and then get bloodwork done on the 2nd or 3rd day of my period and have a consult with my doctor on the 27th.  Phew.  That seems like a lot of work to make a baby (and that's only a small part of it!)  I mean, honestly, when you were younger, watching episodes of Teen Mom, it never seemed this hard to make a baby!;)

I can feel something starting to brew in my body today, whether it's a period or a baby, I don't know...because I always think it's a baby.  I'm hoping and praying I don't have to go through this again in a month!!

Day 35: Could there still be hope?

Yesterday was day 34 and I was just waiting for my period to start. I was experiencing symptoms that seemed like I was ovulating so I decided on a whim to just take an ovulation test last night.  I got a smiley!!  I'm hoping this time that the smiley means that I actually ovulated and not just because my body was trying to but didn't actually ovulate.  Hoping to have good news to report in about two weeks!
