CD#1

TTC#1

Since January 2006.

Well, hello everyone.

As you can see, there was no BFP for us this cycle. I was going to test Saturday, which would have been a couple of days early, but decided to wait. I had a little spotting starting Sunday and continued until this morning when AF showed in all her glory. That made this cycle 52 days. Which if I would have conceived would have put my due date around our 3rd wedding anniversairy. Oh well. Another cycle gone, but another starting. They one thing that I did get from this cycle is that I know I ovulated. Which side, I don't know because I didn't have any O pains, but my temps rose. Plus, I made an appointment to see my doc on January 3rd. So, I'll go in with my 3 months of tracking, which was 2 cycles, and only one of them did I ovulate.

I did purchase a clearblue easy fertility monitor and started with it today, so we will see what happens with that. I will continue to temp because I had given up on OPKs last cycle and ovulated within the next day or two.

Speaking of our wedding, I just want to say that I think back now to when we got married and it makes my heart ache. We got married on what turned out to be pretty much the only day it rained in August in 2004. The 28th to be exact. It was a beautiful ceremony and true to what my invites said, I married my best friend. He gives me greif and we argue, but at the end of the day, there is no one I would rather be around. I look back on that day now and 2 of my bridesmaids have had babies in the last year, along with my personal attendant (my SIL), one bridesmaid has had 2 miscarriages, 2 groomsman have had wives have babies and unfortunately, one of our groomsman died suddenly in a car accident. And here I sit, married to my best friend and the only thing left to complete us and make us a family is a baby. How your priorities change in the matter of 2 years. 2 years ago, the only thing I was worried about was how hot the boys would be in their tuxes and would my BIL write help me on my soon to be dh shoes' so you could see it when he kneeled. Now, all I want is to be completed as a family and have a baby. Weird. Makes you think and wonder what I will worry about in 2 more years. Will it be all diapers and electrical covers or will it be IVF's or adoption.

But not to bring everyone down, christmas is a mere 6 days away. Actually, our holiday festivites start on Saturday when I will get to host the Spencer family christmas. That gives me 4 days to buy my parents, his parents, and our nieces something. Yikes! Plus cleaning the house and working 8-5 at one job and 5:15-8 at the other job, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I don't know how, but I am sure I will get it all done. I really don't have much of a choice in the matter. Wish me luck.

Have a Happy Holiday....

And wishing everyone BFP for christmas.

Shannon
