So AF's usual signs are starting to show up again... I'm on CD31 and I've been spotting for the last 3 days - she should be here tomorrow. [flagsurrender]

Let the redecorating begin! (I always say AF likes to move in and strip wallpaper... teehee - TMI?)

Oh Trip. You are too much. I'm sorry AF may be on her way. How long have you been ttc? I know it's been a while.

Almost 3 years now. Still hanging in there though!


Grrr... you made me cry... hehe

Oh no! i didn't want to do that!!! But I do understand the pain and frustration. It's hard. But friend keep trying, if it is your hearts deepest desire, keep trying until God either gives you what you want or gives you peace to accept His will. Would you ever think of medical intervention? Or have you at least seen a specialist?
If it's any consolation, God does know and understand how serious we women are about conceiving. In Proverbs it is mentioned how one shouldn't take a womens desire to conceive lightly. Pro. 30:15,16 There are four things which are never satisfied. the barren womb being one of them. I think God understands that strong desire and thats why its in the Bible. Hugs my friend. Hang on to the hem of His garment.

[hug] I know this was not what you wanted, praying that God makes clear where to go from here. Are you charting your fertile signs? Maybe there is a clue in there - sometimes it is a small hormone imbalance that can be addressed with nutritional changes or sleep habit changes.

How are you today, Tripper, hun??

Hey ladies! Thanks for checking in!

Almost 2 years ago I went to a fertility specialist and had a whole range of tests done... everything came back normal and functioning well.
Dh, on the other hand, doesn't want any medical intervention and hasn't had any testing done. I was pretty upset about that at first (needless to say!) but then I had a scary experience with a medical procedure (not fertility related) and now I totally get his desire for no medical intervention.

We just joke now that his little men are probably swimming in circles and that if he could just get them to swim straight... [rofl]

We've been through a lot lately (2 job changes in the last 12 months for dh, moving twice, 2 job changes for me... whew) and stress has probably played a huge role in our inability to conceive. Really, dh just got on board with the ttc process about 8 months ago, so for him we're still just at the beginning of it all! Once our house sells, we move out of our friends' house (talk about limited chances to bd!) and get settled into our own, I'm sure we'll both start trying in earnest again.

Also, before Christmas we went through 9 weeks of PRIDE training to become adoptive parents, so we're exploring all our options. Still haven't ruled that out either!

Is your head swimming? Mine is, re-reading this! :-D

Hey Sarah! You have been on a rollercoaster ride this past year! It would knock some flat on their behind....I'm so impressed that you are able to have such a positive attitude through it all. (I know you have your moments, but in general, it's one strong lady that shines through! :D )

You have such a good perspective/ attitude about this process. That *is* alot of changes in such a short time.

:-D I just thank God and my husband!

Praying for you Tripper. [heart]
