Hopeful or maybe just delusional
WARNING: TMI ALERT!
In theory, there is no reason that we know of why I should not be able to get pregnant naturally. I have one tube that functions. My uterus has not been compromised by the fibroids. I ovulate regularly. My eggs are fine. My hubby's soldiers are fine. Since our recent miscarriage, I have not really been tracking my cycle--no temperatures, no checking the cervical mucus, no opk's. I've just been waiting for Flo to that we can plan our next round of IVF. But for some reason, yesterday I noticed that I had quite a bit of discharge when I went to the bathroom. So I stuck my finger down there, and to my surprise and delight, egg white quality cm! I was glad to see it, but I really didn't think much about it for the rest of the day.
I went home last night, went for a run, cooked dinner and watched some tv. I dozed off in front of the tv until about 11pm. I went upstairs to go to bed and I remembered the cm, so I decided to do an opk, you know, just for kicks. I mean Lord knows I did not feel like fooling around and in my head, I really did not think the test would show an lh surge. I just wanted to go to sleep. But I'll be doggone...the test showed that last night was the night.
So I went downstairs to ask my hubby if he was up for a trip to the love shack. And he was (no surprise there). Do I even dare hope for a miracle this month? Nothing to do now but wait and see.

hah! i'm in the same boat as you. no reason why it shouldn't work - it just never has. we've done the same thing this month. who knows. ;)
I hate that I haven't kept up with your blog. You're going through and incredible chapter of your life. I admire you for being so strong and forward-focused.
Of course, I hope the impromptu nookie works. :) If not, there are other opportunities.
Now I have to look up all these acronyms you are using. :)
Ha! Sorry Shasta--Sometimes I forget that most of the world is not familiar with all the fertility acronyms--I REALLY hope that you never have to become familiar with this stuff first hand. So here are a few...
okp-Ovulation predictor kit
cm-cervical mucus
ivf-in vitro fertilization
LH-lutenizing hormone
Thanks for stopping by. :-)
We all deserve to ask for a miracle. Why shouldn't you keep trying? I told my hubbie that if we have to wait 3 months for another IVF cycle, that we are trying in between. Why not? Nothing like some baby making sex!
OOOOOH weee!
Girl that sounded so promising!
Wouldn't that be something?
*waiting and hoping right along with you*
:)
Just dropping in. I am in your 'boat' too.. no reason why not? So I wish you luck and hope that you have success!!!!!
Good luck
Let's hope you're one of those urban legends we all hate.
