There are so many of us in here talking about how we are trying and waiting and dreading the period that all too often signals the end of hope for the current cycle.

I am there every single cycle. Counting the days, logging symptoms and data. I stopped telling my hubby almost 8 months ago when my “fertile

Days” were coming up; mostly because I was so tired of “trying and failing” and I did t want it to seem like a chore. So I just stopped telling him.

But this past cycle I was late by about a week. It saddened me when he looked at me and said, “you’re late aren’t you?” I could see the excitement in his eyes and the expectation. I hadn’t realized that he was keeping track of my cycle on his own as well. And it both wanted my heart as made me sad because I know how much he wants this for us. Unfortunately I got my period a feed days later (I was late by 15 days) at first there was a very light stain. And this period was very unlike my normal periods. I only really had one day of a “normal flow”, the rest were just spotting.

I thought about taking a pregnancy test just to see, but I’m so over all the negatives results and the disappointment.

Anyhow, I just want to wish baby dust not just for the Mommas out there trying but also for the Men that are trying and hoping right along side their women for those little miracles coming out of love.
