  Hello. I’m still not pregnant, which sucks. In fact, had we not had a miscarriage, the official due date would be tomorrow. Isn’t that fun?! I’m doing alright though, in fact I’m good. I seem to be finding that same sense of calm I had after the first six months or so of t...

  I was 8 weeks Saturday. We went in Monday for our first big appointment and ultrasound. After asking a bunch of questions and examining me, she started the internal ultrasound. Almost immediately, she said “you’re earlier than you thought.” My heart sank, I wanted to be at a saf...

  Thanks so much for all the congratulations and kind words. The night I posted that was actually the night P and I found out. I wanted to remember the day. As if I would forget. We told our immediate family that same day. But we haven’t told anyone else. I’ll probably start telling my ...

  It took six cycles. I'm pregnant. It was my third month charting my basal body temperature. At 9 DPO my chart went triphasic, which basically means you have a third thermal shift and is a hopeful sign. At this point my only symptoms are very tender breasts and some mild cramping/pulling sensation...
