This period this month has been a super crappy one. I'm pretty sure every woman hates her period, but I find it seriously unfair to have crappy periods when you don't ovulate and are wanting to get pregnant. I've had some horrible cramping and have been angry with how angry my uterus is. Here's to hoping that it's the last period in a while!
I'm really hopeful for this cycle but also very nervous and scared that it's not going to work. We're putting a lot into this and it's all out of our hands. We are doing an awful lot of praying and fasting and thank you for your thoughts and prayers too. In the mean time I'll start sending my uterus happy vibes and try to not worry too much.
I have mixed feelings about sharing everything about our fertility. In a way, it's good for me to share so I feel like I'm not alone in this, that our family and friends are here to support us. At the same time, it's hard for me to share because what if things don't work out, and then everyone knows our business. What if it does work out and I'm not ready to share the results. Because 3 miscarriages makes you hesitant to announce a pregnancy on the day you find out. And a negative result will not be what I'll want to come home and blog about to the world. Because telling everyone the timing of your cycle and the exact moment of conception is is not socially norm. Because talking about sex and sperm and periods and uteruses and getting knocked up has been somewhat taboo in our culture. It makes things a little awkward, but I'm hoping that the outcome is more rewarding than keeping it all to myself.
Sending those happy uterus vibes now... they might need it for the water ultrasound coming up.

You are amazing and brave! I think that it's great that you are willing to share your story; it opens up an important dialogue on the sanctity of life and the desire to create. Thank you so much for your openness.
Love you and know you are in our prayers.
