Here’s just a brief update of what’s happened in the last month. Dh and I hit two pretty big milestones the beginning of April. First, it was our third wedding anniversary! (That's the longest either of us has been married! HA!) And next, we officially have been ttc our 1st baby for three years. Since we waited until our wedding night to have sex we decided to not use protection and let God decide when He wanted us to have kids. We sure didn't think it would be over three years! Sometimes the thought of ttc for three years is painful, other times (like right now) it isn’t so bad. Many people try for more than three years and I have to remind myself that I CAN and HAVE gotten pregnant before so I know I can again.

My hormones have finally gotten back to where they need to be with my estrogen moderate and now my progesterone high. YES! I ovulated!!! It happened about two weeks later than “normal” but I’m just happy to see things getting back on track. I *should* (no cysts willing) be starting injections within a week. Well, I have to pass that dreaded baseline u/s as soon as I start AF but I’m feeling confident that I will.

I guess I technically could be pregnant right now. Our timing was really good and my ovulation chart is one of the best I've ever had. Now, in saying that, I've gotten about 20 VERY pretty charts and they didn't result in a pregnancy. I want so badly to have hope that my 1% chance of natural conception did happen, but I'm trying to keep my head and heart firmly on the ground. Earlier in the week I was willing and pleading with myself not to continue taking my bbt because I'm not sure I can take the heartbreak of a bad/low temp. Crazy I know. I could take a pregnancy test tomorrow...will I? I can't bring myself to see another negative so probably not. I'm going to try to hold out for as long as I can or until my temp takes a nose dive.

Oh, I see that I have three followers now! I feel so blessed!!! Thank you!

Until next time…
