Ovulation test results...

I used this brand of ovulation tests because I didn't want to be staring at little lines and guessing.

This is CD 13 and the result was Low

CD 14 and it's a blinking smiley face which means High

CD 15 and I got a Peak!!!

Now to cross fingers and enter my two week wait.  I do have blood work scheduled for CD 21 so I can have those hormone levels checked out.  Stay tuned...

TTC Journey...again...

Life was busy for me over the past 8 months.  We started building a house in June and for most of the summer we were camping.  Blogging was not my first priority but that doesn't mean that I have given up on trying for another little one.  After my miscarriage in May I had a series of blood work and a mapping ultrasound with a follow up HSG.  My doctor was hopeful that I would be pregnant by December despite a few hormones showing at the low end of normal on the blood tests.  Alas I am still not pregnant but I just met with my doctor again on Tuesday to formulate a new game plan.  We are repeating the blood work to see if my hormones are still on the low end and I am doing ovulation testing.

My fertility app projects that my green window just started so I took my first test this morning.  Today is CD13 and I got a result of "low."  I will keep posting my results as I get them.


If I don't get any positive results from the testing my doctor would like me to consider fully weaning Juniper.  She only nurses 5-10 minutes at bedtime and then first thing in the morning.  It is such a small amount and I hate to end our little moment of calmness but maybe it's time.  I was hoping to have the weaning process be led by Juniper.  I hate forcing her to end something we both find comfort in especially if she ends up being the only child I get to nurse.  Hopefully my tests will show me some good results and it won't be an issue.

For now I will just try to enjoy the trying part of TTC!
