Hi! I hope you will enjoy your visit to my blog. It's not always the most interesting posts, but they are the thoughts that swirl around my head and the things that happen in my life.

DW (That's my husband. It's short for Daddy-In-Waiting) and I have been TTC for 14 months. We used OT's, OPK's and saliva test to chart ovulation and never got a positive. After 12 months and no AF for 49 days, I broke down and made an appointment with an OB/GYN in the area that specialized in infertility. Dr. D said that I was not ovulating and ordered two different blood tests to check hormone levels and an HSG test. You can read all about it here. Unfortunately all these test have to happen on certain days of your cycle, and guess what?? AF was being rude again and not RSVPing to the party! In the mean time, DW did his test and got great numbers. This was great news, but also solidified the fact that this was all my fault! 52 days later, I took an HPT (of course a BFN!) and called Dr. D to see if he could jump start this thing already! He prescribed Provera for the next 7 days. This was supposed to bring on AF. A week after I took the last Provera, I had still not gotten AF. Sunday night, CD 66, I was frustrated, bloated and my boobs were killing me! I decided to take another HPT so that I could call Dr. D in the morning and get him to prescribe something else. I did the test, laid it on the tub and went about getting ready for bed. I grabbed the test, was going to do a quick glance and toss it in the trash. OMG it said "Pregnant"?!?! I ran out to DW (so much for a romantic, cute way to tell him), shoved it in his face and said, "Look at it this!?!" All he kept saying was, "Are you for real? Are You for real?" Three tests later that night and still the same answer. Even today I still feel the same shock and disbelief. After three blood tests, my hormones are rising at a good level and I have an O/S scheduled for Monday to make sure everything is OK and to determine how far along I am since the irregular cycles have made it hard to determine. I feel so blessed that Dr. D is taking this so seriously and ordering all these tests after all the problems we've had. I have fears every day that this will all be taken away, but all we can do is pray this is it.

I look forward to getting to know you! I love this community and all the support my friends here give. They are the best bunch of ladies you will ever meet!
