...mother nature is toying with me. I knew full well that this month was not going to be the month we conceive. I knew I had ovulated before we got my IUD removed. However, I was keeping track of my ovulation and my periods via an app on my phone. Last month I updated my OS on my phone which wiped out all the info I had tracked my period with. I had been tracking it since January and had everything set up so the dates it showed me for ovulation and period start days never skipped a beat. When I got my IUD removed, I only had Junes info put in my phone. May was such a hectic month and I cannot for the life of me remember when my period was. Goodness knows about April... Long story short, this "cycle" was based on an average 28-day cycle. My cycles aren't irregular, but they are DEFINITELY not 28 days short!
This got me thinking... My period was scheduled to start the 18th. It hasn't come yet, and its the 21st. I took a pregnancy test, knowing I had gotten my ovulation wrong this month. Of course it turned out to be negative. Ive had no cramping like I do before it starts, and so I was thinking maybe I took a pregnancy test too soon.
Either way, I would love it if my period would start so I could get my charting back on track, or if I could get a positive test, EVEN BETTER! I hate the waiting game... I'm not a very patient person =)
If my baby dust didn't stick this month, I'm considering taking some OPK's just to ensure our chances next month. I would LOVE to tell my family in person in September (when I go visit) if I'm preggers by then! I'm starting to have my doubts... Just gotta keep on praying and hope the Lord has it in the cards for us =)
On another note, Alex has really been impressing me when it cones to this whole baby situation. I knew having a second was something he wants, but I thought for sure he would have a slight resistance as he often does to changes in life. Hes really stepped up though and has his heart 100% into it as much as I do. I'm not just talking about the "baby dancing" part of it... Obviously that's going to be a high point for both of us, hahahaha!! He has shown genuine interest in the whole process, and hes opened up about several different conversations we have had. Hes become such an emotionally stable husband because Lord knows Ive had some mixed feelings since we got this IUD removed. Hes been noyhing but encouraging, supportive and loving. Even if it takes us a long time to conceive, I am enjoying the way hes been melting my heart and acting in a way I never dreamed he would... Its wonderful. Hes amazing and I am so happy I made such a wonderful choice in a hubby =) I am so blessed!
