So we’re out of town and but i found out our ovulation tests arrived at our apartment (I’ve not been having periods since getting of birth control, but I still have been feeling some cramping at period time and my ovulation cramping—I’m one of those ladies that cramp up when im laying my egg mid-cycle lol, so everything should be regular and going okay for pregnancy while my body is regulating... I’m 4 months off of BC). I’m going to start taking ovulation tests now so I can get in the habit. I’m really excited about this, we’ve wanted kids since we were first dating, and we’re approaching 6.5 years of dating and our 3 year wedding anniversary. Things just never lines up financially or health-wise (I have lupus and was on low dose chemo to beat it down after a major flare most of last year...)

I’m finally feeling healthy and semi-normal. Our finances aren’t perfect, but if we always wait for them to be perfect it’ll never happen. We budget well and have money to save at the end of every paycheck after taking care of what we need and having some fun money.

This has been years in the making, and I’m so excited that it’s finally here! Anyone feel free to give tips on TTC and parenting. 💜💜💜
