Stopped Trying

So my husband and I were diligently trying since September of 2018. Which I realize for many on here, is not very long but I am a planner in all aspects of life. I’m even a wedding planner for my profession, so as soon as we agreed we were ready I broke out all the checklists!

I went to the doctor and found out I only ovulate once every other month due to a Fallopian tube issue. From there I went into problem solving mode. I got the bbt thermometer, all the ovulation sticks, all the spermicide lube and changed my diet. From there I began my regimen.

Wake up, don’t move, take my temp and log. Go pee, test my urine and log. Have sex when the app tells me to and, you guessed it, log.

I give serious credit to anyone who has been dealing with this for extended amounts of time. I quit after 5 months. I’ve decided to go against everything my brain tells me to do and release control! Which is terrifying but also amazing.

For those of you who’ve been going through the challenges of TTC, I applaud you for your tenacity and ability to push through the daily obstacles.
