So, last month we unofficially started trying for another baby. We have officially started trying this month. So far...i think, its been unsuccessful. I say "think" because i'm late, however, the pregnancy tests i've taken have been negative. I am about a week late, so if i were pregnant a test should be able to pick it up. I had stopped taking birth control pills in June, so this last cycle which started on June 22, seemed normal enough. I had bought some OPKs (ovulation predictor kits) to test and see if and when i was ovulating. I started using them about a week after my cycle ended. I never got a positive ovulation test. So i've either missed it all together, or didn't ovulate at all. And now i'm not having a period. So i'm pretty frustrated. We want to conceive in August because we'd love to have our baby in April (no one in either family has a birthday in April), but at this rate it probably wont happen. I have a regular doctors appointment, just a routine check up on August 4th and i plan to ask for a referral to a high risk OBGYN so we can get some testing done and hopefully get things going for us again. We would also feel more comfortable starting with a high risk doctor as opposed to being referred after we conceive. The OBGYN i have now wanted to wait until we had a heartbeat before she would refer me. With my special circumstances i think being able to get to know the doctor who will be taking care of me and my future baby would be a better idea. That way he can do his own research on my disease and hopefully help us plan better.
And so begins our TTC journey. Coming along for the ride?
