I rang in the new year by waking up to AF. Almost a week early. Hmph!

Ah well, I'm going for the Clomid again, and hoping I can line up the donors this time.

Have a Reproductive 2013!!!

I rang in the New Year to another BFN, boo.  I have to stop torturing myself.  I did have a massive temp dip yesterday and then a huge rise today (above where it has been lately) so I praying like crazy that it 'might' be an implantation dip.  I'm not getting my hopes up though.

John16n33 It's so hard!! Oooh, very promising (the temp dip and rise)!!! I am noticing a lot of lotion-y CM today, not typical for me at all, so also cautiously optimistic. I've learned that just when I think I know what my body does, the universe laughs at me and my body does something completely unexpected. So, not getting my hopes up too high but I still can't shake this feeling, I've just got a great feeling about this cycle! to you. Hoping and praying we get BFPs together later this week!!

Me to Sparkle, me too!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoyed their holidays and are ready for a New Year- 2013.

Can't believe how positive I feel about the fresh start of a new year. Me and my fiancee are headed into a big year for us- we are getting married in a month and 8 days. 

I am sorry I haven't posted much, I needed to step away and re-evaluate the whole process- a lot of soul searching and talking to my fiancee. I think seeing many friends and family pregnant or having very young children has caused me a lot of pain and jealousy. Like at Christmas seeing my fiancee holding his 6 week nephew (god-son) in his arms just melted my heart.

We seem to be feeling better but also are clearly on the same page/plan now.

We have decided to give it a good shot for 6 months (until June). I will need to track my period, get a better feeling for my cycle and when I ovulate.

We have decided that if by the end of June we have had no success on our own we will be headed to the doctor for a referral for the fertility clinic. I know you all are asking why the 6 month deadline, we are young (I am 27 years old and my soon to be husband is almost 30 years old) but my fiancee has been a paraplegic for the last 3 years due to a car accident and we were told the chances of us ever conceiving naturally are very low. We are hopeful that IUI will be a good option.
