Still waiting....

Waiting to Ovulate.  It's like watching a pot of water and waiting for it to boil, except I have to wait days/weeks!!  Really hoping I can Ovulate on my own! Don't think I ever have.  I decided to take a month off from the fertility meds.  Sometimes a break is well needed!  The side effects can really get to you. 

It is amazing what is game when you are trying to conceive.  Before this I was really shy and didn't like to talk about my personal business, now I am more open to sharing my personal life.  Not by choice but because you have so many people asking about when you are having sex with your husband, when you get your period, when you ovulated, all personal questions, they just kind of start turning into public knowledge.  My doctor actually perscribed sex to me and gave me a schedule on when exactly to have it!!  Ever had that happen?  It's all frusterating and confusing.  I have to take these pills from ?-?(this day to this day), then these ones from ?-?, then have sex then take these tests from ?-?, then wait and do this and that and something freaking else.  I wake up every morning and stick a friggin thermometer in my mouth before I can move.  It's called...."temping", or "charting".  I take my BBT (Basal Body Temperature) it tells me if I am Ovulating or if I already ovulated.  EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Word to the wise:

If you know someone who is trying to concieve do NOT say the following....

*Just relax, it will happen.
*You are still young, you have plenty of time!
*You could always just give up and adopt.
*I had a dream you had a baby!!
*When are you going to have a baby?
*Guess what....So & So is pregnant!!
*At least you get to have lots of sex.


So about the adoption.  If you are so gung-ho on adoption how many kiddos did you adopt?  Did you try to have your own child first or did you just go straight to adoption??? Don't get me wrong, I would love to adopt but give me a freakin chance to have my own child first!

About the sex.  When you are trying to conceive you don't have sex anymore.  It is something called BD (doing the Baby Dance).  Sex no longer exists, it becomes mechanical, no emotion no romance....You take an Ovulation test, it is positive so you say "I'm ovulating we have to do the baby dance".  How romantic!

Well....That's it for now.  Waiting continutes........
