My Journey So Far

After some urging from my sister I decided to start a blog to chronicle my journey to becoming a mommy. While I have been completely content with my life with my wonderful husband I know that a baby would only add to the joy and love I have for him each and every day.

In June we finally decided we were ready to start our family. I thought, naively that,"I'm 26, it won't be difficult to get pregnant." I stopped taking The Pill at the end of June and thought I'd probably get pregnant immediately or within a couple months. Instead, what I have encountered are long irregular cycles with no ovulation. How can you have a baby when you don't ovulate?!

In November I went to the doctor hoping they could move things along, however I was told instead to wait until it has been a year. Now here I am on the verge of reaching the 100th day without a period and I am more frustrated than ever. Making matters worse, I had a false alarm thinking I ovulated only to get my hopes dashed with low temperatures and negative pregnancy tests.

I'm tired of living in the unknown and need some answers. I have enormous respect for women who struggle for years trying to conceive, I honestly don't know how they do it. Ive decided that I'm going to attempt to get my doctor to run some tests. If I could at least get some results I could start addressing the issues but this constant unknown is unbearable!
