Low Blow |

Well I won’t leave you in suspense. AF showed up a day and a half late and I just wanted to say that I really think it was a low blow. I mean come on! I haven’t been late in six months! What a tease last week was!
I have to admit that although I cried a teeny tiny bit, I am feeling pretty good. It was really hard though at first because I saw that glimmer of hope. The good news is that when I did think I was pregnant I was soooo happy, that I almost forgot about the sadness of the previous months. So it’s good to know that the pain will go away. I mean granted it did come back right away, but whatever. I am not exactly sure why, but I feel like the #7 is lucky, and that this month will be it. I know I said that last month, and probably the month before that, but whatever! Whatever makes me feel better right? I made an appointment with my OB for this month. I have to have my regular 6 month appointment anyway, but I figure it will be a good opportunity to tell him where I am at. I am actually seeing a different doctor in the practice because mine was booked, but I am not weird about seeing the same doc all the time. I just want answers. I am pretty positive I will be told to “just relax”, and that it’s normal for it to take this long. That I should not go see an RE till I try for a year. I just know they will say that. But my rebuttal is going to be that I have been using OPK’s on and off, have had a steady cycle, and that we have been trying to time correctly the whole time. That is my only concern. We’ll see. I still don’t believe I am ready to go see an RE. Although we have tried for 6 months, 2 of those months we didn’t use anything but the “whatever happens” approach. Two months with a regular OPK, 1 month timing it without the OPK, and 1 month with the CBE fertility monitor. So now that I am using the CBEFM again, I think I will have a better idea about my cycles. So I am going to give it a few cycles using this method along with the continued acupuncture. I think with the warm weather coming I will feel better too. The winter just gets me down, and that is not a good combination with being down about TTC. Maybe it’s the sun, and maybe it’s that the temperature has finally risen above 50…but I am feeling OK. Comments (5)

... Oh no,I'm so sorry! That was definitely a low blow to you were dealt. From what you said above, I agree with you - it doesnt sound like your OB will refer you just yet. But, if for some reason you are, dont dread it. After my first visit to the RE I felt like a whole new ttc world was opened and it was very exciting. Here's to next month! |

... Thanks! I was rooting for me too  It was a rough feeling...I pretty much hated it but like you said I pout and then pick myself back up. My acupuncturist says I run cold, and have a low blood flow which doesn't help "my nest" I am eating cinnamon, red meat twice a week, cherry juice, raspberry leaf tea (to build up my uterous) and now I have added cyanne pepper pills to the mix. She said eat spicy food which I hate, so this should help raise my body temperature. We'll see! I'll do just about everything! lol |

... Cinnamon sounds good, so does cherry juice. I should try those too! I also have been taking raspberry leaf (in capsule form) and now an herb mix (powder form) which is sooo gross! Like you, I'll do just about anything. Again, let's keep praying this'll be our month! baby dust~ |
