I have begun many journeys recently, but deciding to have a baby tops my list. Several of my decisions all run together, starting with weight loss. I have a fear that being overweight will hinder, if not halt my being able to conceive. I have tried what feels like every diet, but if I were honest, I'd say more like very few. When you are on a diet, the world stops, time stops, and fun stops. I am angry, grumpy, irritated and an overall 'joy' to be around. HA! I give up very easily, and I tend to be disappointed in myself most of the time. Earlier this year, one of my very best friends introduced me to Isagenix. (www.isagenix.com) I tried it for 30 days and lost 20 lbs! And felt amazing! I tried to stay on the program and fell off the wagon when I couldn’t afford more products.
Two months later, in October, we decided to actively try to have a baby. I am 30, my husband is 33 and we certainly are not growing younger. We were married in May 2008. My baby clock has been ticking for years! So needless to say, I am more than happy to be taking this road. I have done some research, and have had priceless advice from friends, and have many things to look forward to. Many women try for months or even years before finding information of what could be wrong. I feel that I'm already at an age that I don’t have time to waste. My periods are pretty normal right now, I cycle at 32 days. I am in the process of trying to figure out exactly when I ovulate, and hopefully discovering that I do. I am tracking my progress on Fertility Friend (www.fertilityfriend.com) and I am just starting my second cycle with this. So far I have been tracking my CM (cervical mucus), and I am thinking today of buying a basal thermometer.
I have set up this blog as a way for my to make notes, compare days, and release frustrations. Today is my CD 1 (cycle day 1, meaning: 1st day of my period).
Flow: Light-Medium
Symptoms: No pain; very hungry
Feelings: It’s a good day. =)
