I don't have time to blog in great detail about this month because I am leaving for work in a few minutes.
This month I started using the wondfo ovulation test strips and it wasn't really hard to use at all. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is in the process of trying to become pregnant. I started getting worried if I was going to be able to properly read the strips once it came close to my ovulation time this month. According to my app on my phone I was supposed to ovulate on a Tuesday but I actually ovulated on a Wednesday and my strip let me know by giving me a big fat two bright pink lines. I was really excited that day because it was the first time after my surgery that I have gotten a correct ovulation test and I wasn't freaking out why I was getting a smiley face everyday or wasting my money.
Even though I ovulated this month and knew exactly what day it was there was nothing I could do with it. Preston was on the boat during my ovulation time for a week. We knew that becoming pregnant this month would be slim to none. We followed protocol for the week of ovulation as best as we could. But when your partner is not around on the days close to ovulation you know nothing will happen. I know that sperm can survive up to 3 days but lets be honest with my track record the odds were against us. I did have the tiniest hope that things would actually workout for us.
I was actually two days late this month and was starting to get my hopes up but reality brought me back down from my high. I am not pregnant. I am not as devastated as I was last month but it doesn't get any easier. I know I have a lot of people who are really interested and are in our corner and want the best for us but I am going to have to discuss something with you all. I love that we have such great support from our family and friends but I am going to have to ask you in the kindest way I can to please stop with asking for blog updates, if I have started my period, or if we have thought about starting the adoption process. It is hard enough for me to get through the day some days because I just want to quit because all I want is to start my family. What I don't need is the feeling of pressure on me. I know that is not the intention of anyone but the fact of the matter is that is what is happening to me. I will update you when I am ready to blog about how things are going. I WILL NOT announce my pregnancy the day it happens on this blog or facebook. I believe that is something very personal and our family will be the first to know. Please do not take this personally its just getting harder and harder on me. Also please don't feel that you can't ask how things are going. I don't mind answering questions at all!!
