Month 11 is over.

I decided to start a blog about fertility so that I wouldn't talk everyone's ear off about it. Today is CD 30, which is a little long for me, so I decided to test. Stark negative. I should've known to just wait. This negative left me really disgruntled but determined at the same time. I'm going to do some mixed things this month. First, I'm throwing out most of  the books about pregnancy I've gotten at used book stores. They were cart before the horse purchases, and I've read through them all. I'm in an organizing phase anyhow and need to pare things down. One hindrance in getting nice and organized is having too much stuff. So, out with many of the pregnancy books.

Even though I'm getting rid of some things, there are others that I feel are necessary to our trying to conceive kit. I reordered some cheap ovulation predictor sticks from Amazon. Those digital ones are far too expensive every month, even if they are so much easier to read. I've seen pictures online of books people have taped cheap test strips into so the comparison test lines are always available.That sounds like a good idea, so I'm going to try it.

Also, I'm going to be more strict about cutting caffeine from my diet, and drinking the Fertilitea that I ordered. The package says to drink it 2-3 times a day, and I've rarely done that.

We'll see how this month goes. If June doesn't see a positive test, then it's time to look into some specialists because it will be one year of trying. Not looking forward to that...

This morning I asked Husband if he had rather spend $$$ on fertility treatments or adoption and he said treatments if they were guaranteed to work. They aren't. He also said he thought I was worried about it too soon, but I think it's realistic to be saving with those two options in mind. Hope for the best, plan for the worst, right? The only thing I know is that one day we'll have a baby. He or she just might not be knit together in my womb, and that's okay.
