After 1.5 years of frustration, lack of answers from doctors, and uncertainty, I caved and bought ovulation tests last week. Its hard being young and ttc in a conservative state. Not many doctors will go to all lengths to figure things out for you unless you're almost 30. I DID get bloodwork done on thyroid, diabetes, progesterone, estrogen, and a few other sex-hormones, and all the results came back perfect. I found myself more stressed out over the tests because I didnt get an answer, and I didnt get a solution. As far as everyone else and myself knew, theres no reason I should be having issues. I was worried I didnt ovulate regularly, even though I felt the ovulation cramping every month. Now I know there are other things that COULD be wrong, but I'm not focusing on that right now.

I'm just happy that i finally got at least ONE answer, and that is, yes, I do ovulate. My temp spiked, felt cramping on my left side, and got this that evening. I was just overjoyed that AT LEAST I know that is normal. I've been taking vitamins and drinking a LOT more water, something I havent done before, so I HOPE that's my only problem. Something about that test has given me a calmness I havent had since TTC, a relief off my shoulders. My stress isnt COMOLETELY gone, but mostly. This test was on Tuesday so I'm now 1dpo today, starting my TWW.

Fingers crossed this month is MINE, or at least hopefully this year.

BABY DUST TO ALL OF YOU!!!
