| Well I won’t leave you in suspense. AF showed up a day and a half late and I just wanted to say that I really think it was a low blow. I mean come on! I haven’t been late in six months! What a tease last week was!

| As I posted earlier this week, AF was due on Wednesday. That would’ve been CD 30 and either 13 or 14 DPO. I have gotten AF on that day for pretty much the last 6 months. If anything it came 1 day earlier but that was it. Like clockwork. Well imagine my surprise when AF DID NOT show up on Wednesday. But guess what? No BFP either??? Only a nice and ugly BFN! What the heck? I hate it when my body messes with me!

| So today is about 11 or 12 DPO. I say “or” because I can’t exactly be sure when I ovulated since I got a peak reading on the CBE Fertility Monitor for 2 days. So who knows. Anyway, that makes Wednesday the big day when AF may, or may not show.

| Well, one week down in the 2ww and now starting the home stretch. Already I am going crazy since my stomach has been way off. I know, I know it’s way too early to be feeling symptoms, but no matter what I always find myself going towards the “what if’s.” Right after my miscarriage, I was really lost. I really wanted to be in control of something, so I started to talk to my husband about getting another dog. Maybe it was my inner instinct to want to care for something, but I knew I needed SOMETHING…Anything!

| We all know that the 2ww truly sucks. There are no if’s and’s or but’s about it. During this time all you can do is sit and wonder and try to overanalyze every symptom you may be feeling. And I know I posted before that I think all pregnancy symptoms are myths, but sometimes I can’t help but wonder. This month is no different. This month I am continuing to do what I have done for the past 6 months. I am rationalizing why I think THIS MONTH just has to be it, and why in God’s “everything happens for a reason” plan that I am supposed to get pregnant THIS month.

| As you know, this month we have been trying a few new methods to help me along our TTC journey. One of those methods is the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor. It seems to be a magical little gadget that is supposed to pinpoint your “peak” fertile days. Well so far I wouldn’t really call it magical. So far I have found myself worried, confused and frustrated. I think I am having some technology troubles…

| This whole week I have been very sad. It’s rough to have feelings of sadness when my “fertile time” is near, but I am sad nonetheless. February the 13th marks what should have been my due date had I not suffered a miscarriage. It’s so weird to think that it has been nine months, and so far I am still just as far from being a mom as I was last summer. I really thought that by the time this date rolled around I would be pregnant and healthy. But I’m not. So this week I am sad because I am remembering what could’ve been.

| With month 5 down the drain and month 6 looming in front of us, my husband and I decided it was time that we get serious about this TTC stuff. It’s not that we weren’t in the past, but this month we have decided to try some new things that I have heard have helped other women in their TTC journey. This month we decided to bring in the big guns!

| Doesn’t it always seem that the unwanted guest at a party ALWAYS seems to show up right on time? They don’t offer anything positive and only bring stress. For me? That unwanted guest is AF. She showed up right on time this month….sucks!

| So I am in the homestretch of the 2WW. Week two is in full effect, and it sucks! But that is nothing new. It has sucked every month for the past 5 months. So I learn to accept it. Every month you promise yourself that you will sit back, relax and accept that there is nothing you can do. But each month you fail. Each month you are forced to take every twinge and feeling and think…is that an early pregnancy symptom? But you know what? I may sound bitter, and I may sound a bit like a Debbie Downer, but I have to say that I am convinced that all early pregnancy symptoms are a MYTH!

My husband and I are a couple in our late 20’s, and were married in June 2008. We both agreed to start TTC after our first year of marriage. To our great surprise we conceived on our first try, only to find that I miscarried at what would’ve been our 8 week appointment. Diagnosis? A Blighted Ovum. We now are left to pick up the pieces, and after 4 months trying with no success I must wonder...Why me? When is it my turn? For more of my ramblings visit www.afterthealter.com
