Text conversation between me and DH on the first day of AF this month
Me: Honey, the foof is finally angry today!
DH: Woohoo I like an angry foof. I'll start the pep talk to the guys!
Me: Ok, then you better give a pep talk to the girls, too, so they join the boy pool party down there!
~Crossing my fingers for a successful month! Bring it on!~

TCC
Whoever said that TTC (trying to conceive) was easy? Not me! Who would have thought something so natural is such a journey for some people. Here is my journey to TCC...
I always knew I wanted to have a lot of kids. I have 2 sisters and my DH has 3 brothers. We both decided we want 4 children. So, 6 months after we got married we decided to stop trying not to have a baby, and then I threw away the birth control pills. I have heard stories it takes a few months after you stop birth control to get pregnant, and it has proved to be quite the journey. I guess I assumed it would happen sooner rather than later because my older sister is a fertile Myrtle. Well, I certainly do not wear those jeans in the family! Here we are 9 months out and still no baby. I remember when I graduated and started my job that I couldn't keep track of the months they went by so fast. Now, I feel the last 9 months have been one big waiting game. I know that there are people that wait far longer than me to have a baby, but my patience is wearing thin...I am probably very selfish. I am lucky enough to work with babies in my job, and every day I have a reminder of what a failure I feel like at times. Each month I think it is my month, but still no O. The DH and I are very close with our siblings and we have a collected 3 nephews and 1 niece. We are always having auntie and uncle sleep overs, and I get so excited to see my DH interacting with our niece and nephews, and I am ready for it to be our turn! Well, I am on my last round of Clomid, and if still no O then I go into the office for tests and hopefully get referred out to an RE. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! And I hope not to lose my mind in the meantime!
