It Shouldn't Be This Hard...
Well, here I am. My husband and I are working on the whole trying to conceive thing (TTC) and my cycle has gone insane on me! I take my (BBT) basal body temperature every morning at the same time--even on weekends. I have charts on fertility friend and I update them religiously. I am 28 years old and to my knowledge pretty healthy and yet I have had a total of 3 cycles since my miscarriage in early February...THREE!!! Are you kidding me??!! My cycles have been so long, it's like my female parts don't know what they are doing anymore. This cycle has been uber ridiculous. I am on cycle day 67...I had no visible confirmation of ovulation this cycle but I had break through bleeding around cycle day 48. I finally emailed my doctor and she said going so long without a full blown period is a big fat NO NO. She was however quick to prescribe progesterone pills for me. I have to take one pill for 10 days and that is supposed to help jump start Aunt Flo (AF). These 10 days worth of pills are supposed to trick my body into thinking I ovulated and they are meant to mimic my "Two Week Wait" (2WW). Two to five days after I stop taking them I should get AF. Knowing my cycle, I would put my money on 2 days. Obviously I'm frustrated. Well, to be honest I'm beyond frustrated. Some days I feel like I'm broken on the inside. I know, it sounds silly, but I do. I feel like a very inadequate woman. So, I suppose most of my posts on this new blog are going to be about our TTC journey. As long as my readers don't mind I will continue to be as honest and as intimate about it as I can. I will probably update when AF finally rears her ugly head and I hope she's not a biotch about it. For those of you who are curious, here's a link to my charts. You know you want to look at them right?!! OH, FRO! HAHAHA. (I still have that regret post coming...it's still a work in progress though).

New Blog
Okay, so I'm not new to the blogging world, but I hardly ever log into my old email addy so I thought I'd start fresh with a new blog with the new email address. More to come soon :)
