If there is anyone still out there…join me in the next chapter of our book.

Before I switch over, though…quick update! We conceived 100% naturally, and I am beyond blessed. It makes me weepy to think about all of this. Since the last time I wrote in this blog, I had given up hope. I was depressed, anxiety ridden, and needed to seek therapy. Since November 2009, I have been in the care of a psychiatrist and a counselor. I also managed to lose over fifty pounds, start my own beauty blog (BeautyGala.com) and start birth control at the advisement of my OB/GYN. I went on birth control pills for three months, and decided to stop them due to side-effects. My husband and I decided that we would start trying again since I was doing well emotionally, mentally, and physically. In June of 2010 (last month), I waited for my first natural period to start after birth control. Unbelievably, I started a natural period on June 13th, 2010.
You probably know the rest of the story by now…I waited for yet another natural period. Well, instead I got the most beautiful sight I will ever see in my entire life: two lines on a pregnancy test, and a digital “PREGNANT.” So, here we are, and here I start my journey into motherhood. Please pray that my baby bean sticks!

My dear Mrs.Kristin Clark “tagged” all of her blog friends on Facebook to write up nine things they are thankful for in their life on this day, 9/9/09. I thought it was the perfect challenge to myself, as I have been neglecting my blogging duties (not so much neglecting as avoiding on purpose).

Today was my doctor’s appointment for my CD13 ultrasound, consultation, and blood work and it could honestly have not gone any worse in any way. I still cannot process a lot of it, and I have had a very rough time dealing with it. When I am able to better put my emotions out there, I will write a post about what happened. For now, I just feel empty, sullen, depressed, and vulnerable.

I just really wanted to type this quick message up to thank all of you ladies who read and support this blog. I originally started this blog as a way to vent my frustration and personal struggles, and it really just blew up and ended up being something that people were interested in reading. I am so grateful for the support of those of you who are going through your own journeys (Jessi, Kristin, just to name a couple)…it means so much to me.

Yesterday I started Round #3 of my Clomid, and I will be taking it through Wednesday. My ultrasound is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4th, at 2:30pm which will be CD13 for me. The ultrasound will just be for a “monitored cycle,” so we can see what my ovaries are (or are not) doing on the Clomid…

Today marks CD32. EDIT: Tomorrow will officially be CD1 for me, as my spotting has turned into AF officially. On to Round 3.

It is now CD27, and I didn’t have any spotting or bleeding yet. 
This calls for a *huge* hip-hip-hooray! At this point, even if I were to get my dear AF, this cycle would still be considered a semi-success for me, because it was a “normal,” “textbook,” 28-day cycle. But, don’t misunderstand me — I want that witch to stay far, far away from me!

So, obviously, the past few days I have been having various slight cramping and twinging…you know, the usual. But since I woke up this morning, that right ovary is…YOWCH!

These past few days have been full of extreme tension for me. Will I get AF really early again and be completely disappointed and shattered, not only that she arrived, but that she came so early and I never had a chance? Will I make it past CD23 and CD24 (AF last month) without a single spot of blood?

You know what they say…”Three times a charm.” Well, can it please be two instead? Could the big man upstairs please make an exception for me? I’m on CD19 right now, and I’m begging here…
