January 31st 2010, I took my last birth control pill. (I just posted something on facebook about this, and I had the date wrong, in case you were confused about this.) I had been taking my prenatal vitamin for over a month at this point. Started logging anything I possibly could on my calender.
Febuary, I had my yearly exam this month. I asked my doctor basically if I was ok to start trying. She said definately. So, this month, we naturally tried conceiving. No luck this month.
March, started logging cycles in Trying to Conceive calenders. They helped me distinguish when I could be ovulating.
April, tried to be patient. No luck.
May, read new TTC tips online...didn't help.
June, same thing this month. :) no such luck.
July, started ovulation kits. This helped me. We made an appointment with my doctor to see what we can start doing next. She said I should have my progesterone levels checked, have an HSG xray done, then, if needed, have Danny checked. After we did all of that, we could come back and see her, and we would discuss clomid.
August, ovulation kits again. On August 4th, had progesterone test done. This would show if I have ovulated. Result was 4.67, should be around 12. :( So Dr. says I should come back in 1 week. I could just be a late ovulator. Result the follwing week was 1.3, yikes! Time for step #2. On August 19th, day 7 of my cycle, I had the hysterosalpingogram done. It is an xray that flows dye through my female organs to see if there are any obstructions. If there are obstructions, they will clear those away. Also, that would be obstucting you from possibly getting pregnant. Alot of women have gotten pregnant with a couple months of having this done, it's like cleaning out your female parts. This x-ray was not fun by any means. They put a balloon inside, and then it up, that is the part I did NOT like. Little cramping during that. Then they flow dye through your female organs. You get to watch the whole thing, that part is fun. Process itself, took maybe 4 minutes. Your in the room for about 20 minutes for the prepping, proceedure, and cleanup. Anyways, my results came back clean, literally. Time for step #3, UGH. Danny's turn. We obviously weren't looking forward to this. So, It took awhile until he actually did this one.
September's here. My wish was to be pregnant by the time I was 30, no pressure now. My birthday is October 4th. We tried to take things easy this month, and not worry about anything, and just hope that it would naturally happen. Nope, wrong. So, we had Danny's test all planned out! One more test, and were guaranteed to get some pills and have a baby!!!! Moving on to October...
October, I passed the age 30 mark on the 4th, :(. On the 6th, I rushed Danny's...sample to the hospital. WATCH Out! You would have thoought I was tranporting an organ, I was not allowing cars within 50 feet of me. And I had it planned out, if someone wrecked in to me, I was just going to run. Nothing was going to stop me! Side note, October 13th, I had Jamie drive my car on our way home from the Covered bridge festival. At one point, I was scoping out my options of what I could throw up in. I see a grocery bag, that I empty it's contents. I just stayed still, and hoped that it would pass. I knew if I said something about that, Ellen would make us stop to get a pregnancy test. And I could not let them find out before my own husband. So, I kept quiet, and it passed. Another side note: October 19th, I went to have my yearly TB test done. That previous couple of days, I was HOT. I even started carrying deodarant. I never have to reapply my deodarant. weird. Anyways, to have my test done, they have to check your temp before doing this. It was 99.7. Her first question was, "you could be ovulating." ahahaha, I said, no, I don't do that. Then she said, that I could be getting a cold. Jamie said that I came back to work with a huge grin on my face. I think I had that feeling that something else was going on. Next step, October 20th, we met with my Doctor to get results, and discuss Clomid, woohoo. Danny's results, his boys were extrodinary! Don't tell him I said that, he likes to brag about it. So, he definately wasn't the problem. My organs were clean, but I just wasn't ovulating. :( Who cares, we now have clomid, haha. Danny got that perscription filled for me. And then that Saturday, October 23rd, we left for Myrtle Beach. My cycles range from 30-38 days and rotate every month. 1 month, it's near 30 days, next month, near 38, and they rotating. This month should be about 30 days. I get worked up every month, and I think that can delay the start of me new cycle. So, I just take a test, see a negative sign, and then I relax. :) Sunday in Myrtle Beach, I was on day 35. So, I woke up and took a test. I know plenty of people who have found out that they were pregnant on those dollar tree tests. So, I know I would totally trust them. SO, that's what I used. It said positive. hmmm, that's never happened before. And I can't get pregnant. So, I said Danny, go get me another one, this says something I have never seen before. He's smiling, but obeys his wife. I took the second one, and same thing. hmmm, what do these two signs mean?. Danny says, "your pregnant!" I said, "there's no way." So, I said, we have to go get a namebrand test. These are defective.
Danny was calling his family before we even get to CVS. Once we got back to our hotel, I took the test. I told Danny that if I was pregnant, it would show up even in the evening. So that's when I took it. It was positive. I still didn't believe it. My dad had to work that day, so I waited until he got home to call my mom. She is very very excited. Danny's mom had said something soon before this, to the extent that she has know I was pregnant. She had that feeling. But she was still very excited. Now I was able to tell people. I emailed Chrissy a picture "of a pretty palm tree" atleast that's what I told her. And She must have knew I was up to something, because she immediately checked her email, and called me. I think she was crying, and I couldn't stop crying. I was still in shock, so I couldn't wait for my doctor's appointment. I had to wait until the next day to call my doctor, ahhh. Felt like forever, yes, it was only the next day. Anyways, they said they couldn't see me until I was 8-10 weeks! 8-10 weeks. Ahhhh again. At this point I was 4 1/2 weeks.
I will tell more later...
I didn't know that about the Covered Bridge Festival, you stinker!
