Well here I am sitting here on my first anniversary with rollers in my hair waiting for my DH to come home so we can go out for dinner. He's wonderful, he even ordered a baby replica of our wedding cake. The only problem is today we were also going to take our second pregnancy test!! However mother nature has already answered that question and we are not pregnant.
We weren't trying to concieve. I had stopped using hormonal BC and began using a diaphragm a year ago, just in case we changed out minds. Two months ago I began waking up every morning at 530am to check my BBT. Last month we were in Cape Cod at a wedding. The day of the wedding I ovulated according to my temp. We went to the wedding and had a few cocktails (could that have been my first bad parenting decision?), and upon arrival back to the hotel we decided to give it a shot, what the hell.
Well, my cycle is something I can depend on every 28 days, I even planned my wedding around it a year in advance. On day 30 I took a test and it was negative. However, my Dr, mother and DH thought I must be pregnant. I picked up my perscription for prenatals and two more tests. Days passed we told everyone we were going to take the test on our anniversary!!! Well yesterday the news came!!!! We were sad! We know we got our hopes up too early, but why were we upset we weren't even trying.
So we have admitted to ourselves and my bestfriend we are. With that today I woke up to check my temp and went out and picked up some ovulation tests. Heck they worked for my best friend on the first try. I upped from my Stuarts prenatal to Duet DHA and we are going to give it the good old college try.
We are trying
not to get our hopes up, we know this can take a while. But I'm hoping
we'll have fun trying to achieve our new family goal. Cross your
fingers, more to come!!!!!
Re: The First Step Is Addmitting Your Trying To Concieve
Not sure what you're getting at here....
Oh, wow.
okay, so i read it.
sorry about the bfn, but if you're not preventing then you're trying. GL.
I am so not reading that wall of text.
And I was SO hoping the first step would be spelling "Admitting" and "You're" correctly.
Guess not.

Why is everyone acting kind of mean? I thought it was a great post-- so what if it's a page from her blog?
She's a new person, why not welcome her with kind words instead of being pretty disrespectful and somewhat bitchy?
There's no reason to be so defensive. It's a public board but it's a 'Getting Pregnant' board where you'd think people would be just a bit more sensitive, considering the topic. I've been on a lot of public boards where people are a bit more welcoming towards others. I really liked this forum and I think it has great information but when people don't seem to be more open to others and seem quick to correct people over minute things then it doesn't feel like a warm, welcoming place. Why not say "That's a good post, would you like to go more in depth with your story?" instead of something along the lines of "I'm not even going to take the time to read this, it's too long and I don't get it."
I'm not trying to be a *** myself but I just think we could all be more welcoming and more understanding of people who aren't used to posting on forums-- what you say vocally to someone sounds different when typed out in a post.
ditto the "your" - and this is coming from someone who can't spell.
lol
Where did we get the reputation of being a warm, welcoming place anyway?
I didn't sign up for that board.
