We’ve been trying for 7 months now. I know it’s not a long time but for me it feels like forever. My cycles are pretty regular 27-29 day cycles. Usually comes right when predicted. I got my copper IUD removed the end of the summer. That first month I was 4 days late and I thought maybe... nope. Shrugged it off 🤷🏽‍♀️

Fast forward to last month... 3 days late. Negative test after negative test. Light spotting on late day 3. Followed by two days of medium-light flow and another day of light spotting. Definitely not my usual. No pms symptoms either. This month, same thing. One day of barely there spotting before AF was due followed by AF being 3 days late. And not today medium light flow.

I tracked ovulation with opks, used preseed... fingers crossed. But this month was the first month my husband actually reacted. Sure we got kids, but he really wants another and I want to give it to him. The look of disappointment on his face crushed me more than that stupid BFN. His compassion afterwards and optimism of “I’m gonna hold onto this test because I believe it’s gonna change”... he’s so sweet... he’s the driving force behind my resolve. AF IS A BITCH! But she’s not gonna be a petty bitch and keep playing with my emotions!

I declare RIGHT NOW that this month is gonna be my month! I’m making a list and checking it twice and I’m gonna (hopefully) baby dance my way into a baby bump. Who’s with me!!
