Jarrett and I have decided that if we are going to have another baby then it needs to be soon. This month I started a round of clomid. I am hoping that I have lost enough weight in order for it to work. I decided that maybe I would use an ovulation detecting kit to see if I infact ovulate or not. I've been disappointed so far because I haven't detected any LH surge(the hormone the tests is detecting). I should of ovulated 6 days ago according to my doctor. I was getting discouraged until today that is. When I tested today there it was the dark purple line I have been waiting for. Better late than never I guess. So we will be doing the baby dance and see if my body is in agreement.
It's funny how in tune you try to be with your body when you want to get pregnant and can't. I sense so many little twinges or aches and wonder if it is possibly me ovulating. If you go on line there are so many ways to predict when you ovulate. It's serious business to some one who cannot get pregnant. You can look at your saliva under a microscope and I guess there is a ferning pattern when you ovulate. You can use the testing kits for the LH surge. Checking your mucus discharge to see if it stretches, that one I find a bit yucky. Then there is your basal body temperature, I hope you take that one in your mouth. It's easy to become a little obsessed with what your body is doing. I'm trying not to be.
It's difficult because I do have three wonderful children. I think people don't really listen or understand how hard it is when you are faced with in fertility. It's like you have kids so don't worry. I want another baby, what is so wrong with that? I think that is one reason why I have waited so long this time. I put of getting truly serious about fixing my issues because somewhere deep down inside I feel that I should just be thankful for the kids I am blessed with.
Anyways, here's to the baby dance and a positive on the ovulation stick. Wish us luck.

These two weeks will seem to take forever.
Here's to positive thinking and trusting in the Lord and his plans for us!
