Overdue Update!

Good morning!!

   It has been quite some time since I last posted. Brian and I have been heavily involved in work. 

  Over the past few months, Brian has installed a new server, called many people about adding a new server and wiring, and best of all, got a raise! I on the other hand, boy, where to I begin...I have been to trainings galore (Thinking Maps, Teacher Evaluation, Restraints, etc), have walked classrooms, done interventions groups, and even about 60% completed with the Yearbook. 

  Needless to say, even though we've been busy, we also took time to try and have a baby. Yes, I say the word try. I'm going to try and divulge as much information as I can before my doctor's appointment, but I only have about 10 minutes left.

 So, I'll start from the beginning. Last you heard from me was in August. I had just started my af forced by provera. For the whole month of September, Brian and I bd'd every other night like good little SME Planners are. We tracked ovulation and had scheduled bding sessions. Unfortunately, according to the OPKs (ovulation predictor kits), I never ovulated.

The month of September I received a spotting period. It was not a full flow, just rather a spot, for 8 days straight!! 

I actually thought that I might be pregnant and that I was having implantation bleeding (IB). That is where you bleed as the baby attaches itself to your uterine lining. I was hopeful, and everyone on Pink Pad thought it could go either way.

But pregnancy test after pregnancy test (only 3 this time) proved otherwise. I was not pregnant.

My OB nurse said that spotting would be considered my period for the month and to continue on.

Now we're onto the month of October. Brian and I lost our fervor to continue to bd every other day. We bd occasionally. Maybe 2 times a week (at most 3).

When it came time for a period, I had none. I didn't get my hopes up. I didn't even take a pregnancy test. I just knew I wasn't pregnant. 

Then came November. No period has shown since the spotting period in September, and all pregnancy tests came out negative. We continued to just bd...until Thanksgiving Break....

To be continued....
