Yup, not-so-lovely Aunt Flo appeared this evening.  This is only cd25, only 11 days after I inseminated.  I really thought I might be pregnant this time – had all the cramping and bloating I had with my chemical pregnancy this summer – and actually got my hopes up a bit, so Aunt Flo’s arrival this [...]

Okay, y’all.  My period *finally* arrived yesterday.  I don’t know what was going on, but this was the longest cycle I have ever had.  Perhaps my body and clearb.lue pregnancy tests are conspiring against me to get me to spend money – I spent over $30 on 4 pregnancy tests (the good ones with the [...]

I took a pregnancy test last night and it was negative.  This was not a surprise, but it isn’t as easy to get the negative results now as it was earlier on.  I haven’t actually gotten my period yet either, so I suppose I could still turn out to be pregnant, but I don’t think [...]

gone camping on both sides of the country,
gone to my first Single Mothers by Choice (SMC) meeting, and

I saw Pam (my acupuncturist) yesterday and she mentioned [...]

Well, I got my period early this morning, so this cycle’s a no-go.  (I recently learned that you can be pregnant and still get your period! – shocking, I thought.  In recognition of that, I will also say that I also did a pregnancy test – it was negative – and my BBT went down [...]

No. My temp dropped this morning, which means I am not pregnant. I am actually pretty okay with it, as I was starting to freak out a bit about the prospect of having a real, physical baby in my house and my life in only a few short months. So now the [...]
