I've decided that nature is cruel! I ovulated 7 days ago. I still have to wait at least 5 more days to find out if it worked and I'm pregnant or if once again we were unsuccessful and my period is going to show up. It's so aggravating! I mean....there should be some way to immediately know that we are pregnant. Like the minute you finish having sex a light on your forehead comes on or something.
I am just eager to see if my medicine worked! I had my progesterone levels checked today. I forgot to ask them when the results will be back so I'll call tomorrow and see if they have them, but I am not counting on it with election day and all. Probably Wednesday. It would be nice if I get it tomorrow though.
It would also be nice if it's a nice high number indicating a possible pregnancy. I'll be satisfied if it's just up around 15 or so where the RE would like to see it though. Oh this isn't fair.
I am having some symptoms that *might* look promising, but after two and a half years of this I have learned that most symtoms can be brought on by pregnancy or by pending menstrual flow (yet another one of natures unfair situations) so I am not too hopeful yet. My breasts feel heavy and have this strange burning, crampy sensation and have for several days now. I've had a kind of full feeling and a dull ache in my lower abdomen. And I have been so moody. I mean, I have cried over freaking EVERYTHING lately. I've always been an emotional person, but this is crazy! And I am tired. So flipping tired. It's only 7:30 and I can barely hold my eyes open.
If I go to bed now will someone please come wake me up on the 15th when I plan on testing? lol

About Me
- Stephanie ~*~ThePastorsWife~*~
- I am 28 years old, the wife of a wonderful man who I met online, and the mother to two beautiful children. I have a 10 year old daughter, Sierra, and a 7 year old son, Will. We are currently working on weight-loss and waiting to try to conceive our first child together!
A bit of history
Matt and I started trying to conceive our first together in March of 2006. We didn't tell anyone though because we had just moved in together, and we knew that people would think we were rushing. We got our first positive pregnancy test in October 2006 (1 year after we started dating) sadly it ended as quickly as it began. This was the first of five miscarriages. We had another in May 2007 (on my birthday) on in August 2007, a fourth in June 2008 and the most recent in August of 2008. We saw a specialist for the first time in September, and immediately he decided I needed diagnostic surgery. I didn't have the issue he thought I had, but he did find and correct another issue. Testing revealed that Matt was perfectly healthy (reproductively) even though we suspected that the problem was with him. Further testing showed that I had low progesterone levels after ovulation and wasn't capable of supporting a pregnancy. This was brought on by an estrogen imbalance prior to ovulation. I was ovulating very late in my cycle and it was a weak ovulation (meaning my eggs weren't maturing completely before ovulation). I am currently on medication that blocks my body from recognizing estrogen, which causes me to make LOTS of it, so I have very mature eggs, and most often, multiple eggs. I also ovulate much earlier, and this has fixed my progesterone issues after ovulation. I can only take this medicine for 6 months, so March of 2009 will be my last round. Hoping for a pregnancy before that point. If not, we will discuss moving forward to IUI or IVF.

Lol. I like the idea of a light coming on on the forhead after sex. That would be wonderful.
I'm sending some BFP dust your way!
