I’ve never used an app for TTC before so I’m hoping it changes the odds. It took 3 years to conceive our first and now I’m 8 months deep into trying for our 2nd baby. I’ve been to the doctor in the past and they said it could have been my eating habits enabling my from becoming pregnant. So I’ve already adjusted to a healthier diet and gained some needed weight. (I was 98lbs now I’m 112lbs) I’ve stopped smoking and drinking all together cold turkey and basically treat my body now the way I would need to treat it if I was already pregnant. Thus I started my first month using Glow!

As I watched the days go by I repeatably count down days until I can test. It’s scary because last month I don’t think I ovulated because my period was 20 days late before AF finally arrived but even then she only stuck around for 3.5 days and it was very very light. I think I only had to use a total of 5 or 6 tampons the WHOLE period. It’s like it was just enough to be considered a valid period. And to make things more confusing I took a pregnancy test after I was a week late and got a semi dark positive on the 88¢ dollar store test. After that I went and bought two more plus Clearblue and ept tests. Every single one of them was a BFN. It was obvious to me then that I was a victim of a faulty pregnancy test *tears*....I worry history will repeat itself just like I repeat myself.

I look over all the data I’ve put in, BBT, BD, CM, CP (although I didn’t know I could input data for CP until recently) that would have been nice because everyday I checked my CM there were CP changes but for the most part it has been low firm and closed until around the 14th so I have my suspicions I ovulated sooner than Glow predicted.

Also I thought it was kind of funny how they say “If you’re gaining weight you’re happy” well my ‘in love’ mood lines up dang near perfect with my ‘appetite’. I’ve been having a lot of headaches this month but I think it’s from me quitting smoking and drinking. Whenever I feel like drinking alcohol I grab a water or brew a homemade up of coffee. If I feel the urge to smoke I eat sunflower seeds or cook a heavy southern meal for everyone that way I’m too busy to dwell on the thought of it and it works for me. My husband told me yesterday he’s so proud of me for kicking my bad habits. I hope all my hard work pays off soon. I love being a mom and I want so dearly to see our family grow and blossom. Sorry for all the rambling... I’m just really anxious to see that positive again.
