May 15, 2000

Are y'all pulling my leg? Does the TCOYF book really exist? I went all over the place and NO ONE had it. I finally settled on Overcoming Your Fertility, The compassionate resource for getting pregnant. I still really want that book though. No one has heard of it. Am I crazy?

Ian and I had a long discussion and I guess a little bit of an argument over me getting PG. I told him I feel like he is not being supportive and that I feel all alone. This was Friday and today he bought me a Winnie the Pooh baby book. You know, where you put all the pictures and things that occur from pregnancy until the first year of baby's life. I thought that was really cute. We just can't wait until we can start filling out all the information!

I feel great guys!!! I really do! I am feeling optimistic and I feel so healthy. I have been drinking lots of water, eating fruits and vegetables, getting exercise. I would advise everybody to do the same. I feel better than I have in a long time. Unfortunately, I am starting to feel old AF rear her God awful ugly head. I have been cramping a little today. I should be seeing her any day now. I wish I could tell her, "You are not welcome here and don't come back for about 40 weeks!"

Ian and I are going to quit smoking this week. We are also going to use an OPK this month and try these little techniques offered in the new book we bought. I am feeling really positive about things. I am sure I will be PG very soon. I am going to talk to my doctor on the 25th. I am going to start declaring war on this whole infertility thing.

Well, I really should go and do some work. I am here at work, I may as well. Good luck to everybody!!!
