Back Entry from July 3rd

ttc#1 since December 2006
1st cycle off clomid, was on for 3 months
It's been a week for sure! Again sorry I haven't posted in awhile I keep forgetting.
Oops!
First of all, I have to say I have the BEST internet friends ever. They are always
with me and caring and for that I love them so much. Thanks ladies.
Ok, so.... the last 2 weeks. I thought I might have O'd on Father's Day weekend.
We had a wonderful housewarming party the following Saturday. I have been neglecting
my house since then. This weekend we had a wedding for some of our friends. She
was so beautiful. They are an awesome couple and I wished they hadn't moved away
because we don't get to see them all that often and he was dh's friend first and
Jake misses his friend. :)
So, according to me Oing father's day weekend, I should have gotten af this weekend.
Well, Friday came and went, Saturday came and went, but not with me not being
extremely tired and nauseous. So, Sunday I checked, no af. I ok I will test. I
tested Sunday morning and there was a line, well 2 of them actually. Don't go
and get all excited on me... I am not done yet. The line was very faint, so I
email my friends..."A line is a line right??" And kept it to myself. I tested
again Monday morning and BFN!
I was like WHAT?!? A line is supposed to be there. I tested Sunday with first
response and Monday with $ store tests because I didn't have anymore. So, after
the BFN I go to Walmart at 6am for more HPTs. Got first response. I like them
and they are usually the best deal. I buy like 4 of them this time. Come home
and it's a BFN!
So, I email my peeps again and tell them the news about the morning. I decided
that the only way to know for sure would be a blood test, so after arguing with
the woman to get my test Stat because I am supposed to be going on Roller coasters
on Thursday and I can't wait, I got my negative results about 2:30pm yesterday.
I was pissed and upset and not happy to say the least.
So, moral of the story. False postitives are possible and I am freak of nature
for getting one. It could have been a bad test stick, evap line, who knows. But
I was seriously bummed. I did all of this without telling dh because I wanted
to surprise him with something cool. I told him as soon as I got home and he let
me cry for a good half an hour. What a guy. Then I almost killed him though. We
were talking about me Oing and the clomid and I told him again for about the millionth
time that she won't give me anymore until he gets tested. He said What? Why not?
I didn't know that.
I have only been telling him for the last 3 months about that! Whatever. So,
I think he might get tested. We will have to see.
I think he is starting to see the toll that it is taking on my emotionally and
is starting to understand that we both want a baby. He said it will get easier
and I tell him, nope, it's just getting harder and started to cry again. We are
going to be temping, OPKing, and Fming this month. I am going to start provera
on Wednesday I think. I am going to meet with my doc on the 16th (just happens
to be Jake's bday) to see what the next steps are. Hopefully, she will say one
more try on clomid and we will get pg. I am so hoping.
Ok, I think I have gone on enough. Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!
Baby Dust and Belly Rubs to everyone!
