This blog will primarily be about my TTC (trying to conceive) journey. I am TTC in my late 20's as full-time house-wife/ "crafter" living away from friends and family in Michigan. My husband and I are trying for our first baby.

I decided to start this blog as a way to express myself, record my experiences/feelings and to receive information and support from others. Please feel free to leave comments or ask any questions. I hope you will share this journey with us!

Cycle 20

I was a bit surprised when my period arrived today. I have had severe breast tenderness and sensitivity for about the past three weeks ever since I ovulated. I just had this feeling that I was going to get a BFP. But alas it was a BFN this morning when I took a test thinking that I was. I was going to have the best Christmas, well anything is better then last Christmas. I had the flu on Christmas and then was two weeks late and very grumpy. I guess I just have to wait for another new year to come around and maybe this will be our year..

I finally had my follow up doctors appointment this week. Not to much went on, we talked briefly about how the last two cycles went. How this is a new "job" the DH and I and we need to make this our top priority during as DH calls it "my egg drop".  You see my doctor basically told me that we wasted this cycle because I was down state with family bridesmaid dress shopping and DH was home hunting during the "egg drop".  Getting pregnant is our top priority but if we are not each other for a few days and that happens to be at the "egg drop" then so be it.
My doctor is having us do three more rounds of Clomid. He has tasked me with documenting everything on paper verse my phone.. When I bleed, take the clomid, have sex, what cervical mucus i have each day, and what I am feeling throughout each cycle.
