Normal

I called the dr's office the other day to inquire about my lab results from the blood draw they did a few weeks back. I had left a message on the nurse voicemail and didn't my call returned that day, but the next day I got a message from the dr. himself. He said the results were fine and everything is normal. So.....there we go. I was almost hoping for something that could give a clue, but I feel good knowing I've at least had all the blood tests and they indeed check out. So now it's just maybe wait a few more months and see if anything happens! I'm just not even trying to think about TTC this month. It's on the back of my mind, but not consuming my every thought as it has at times in the past.

A Fresh Start

After being rather conflicted about the whole TTC process last month, Kevin has decided that he's back on board with wanting another baby. Last month, he told me he didn't want another baby and that was a shocker. I really think the problem was that he didn't want to go about it with all the OPK's and talk of ovulation and stuff. It was a big wake up call to me that we're going about it the wrong way. I strongly believe that God will bless us and He's in control and I was trying to control things. We're taking a fresh start approach. The only thing I'm doing this month is just taking the vitamins and stuff and relaxing. I started exercising again too. I'm not going to chart, I'm not going to fret over every little thing....just sit back and have fun. We're going to enjoy eachother's company more and just take time for the little things. Things got pretty stressful leading up to the holidays around here, so hopefully this new year will bring more peace and happiness.

I did get the results of my pap and they are normal and negative so that's great news! Now I am just waiting the results of the blood draw. I will probably call them this afternoon to check. The only bad thing about the blood draw was that they wanted to take the blood 4 days before AF was due and AF didn't come until about a week after the blood draw. Don't know if that will affect anything, but that just proved to me that I was not in control. I had tried to plan that cycle out so perfectly and got thrown a curve!

Blood Draw Tomorrow

I'm having my blood drawn tomorrow so they can test everything and see if anything is going on with my hormone levels and such. We have decided that we're not actively trying for a baby and we're just going to play it down for awhile. I'm hoping that it'll happen when we're least expecting it. There is not even a chance this month that I could be pregnant, but we're still doing the blood work-up like the dr. ordered.

Really???

*insert sarcastic tone now!* Really??? I mean, really??? Why does this keep happening?? Sorry...not going into details, but seriously frustrated here.

+ OPK today!

Today is CD 14 and I got my first + OPK at noon! This is the exact same day last month I got a + OPK so this is good for me. I had usually been O'ing as early as CD 15 or up to as late as CD 20...so having two months in a row be about the same makes me very happy! I'm going to do another OPK tonight after work to see if it's darker, but as of right now I'm saying + since the line is the same color as the control line. I think this evening it will probably be darker, which is good! Supposedly you O within 12-36 hours after getting a positive and for me it's usually the next day or 2 days, so hopefully we'll be "trying! Hopefully we'll catch that eggie!

Another Year is Here

I cannot believe that it's 2010! Today starts another year. I cannot believe that we TTC during the whole year of 2009 and didn't have a baby. But I'm feeling VERY optimistic about this new year, after all, it is not just the new year, but the start of a new decade! It's also my last year of being in my 20's, so hopefully we'll get a 2010 baby! Today is also CD 10 which means it's getting closer to the "trying" time of the month! :)

Happy New Year!!
