My first natural cycle in a long time has been going great. I ovulated on day 14 (a first for me as I'm usually only able to do this on drugs). I'm now patiently waiting until test day. I can't help but hope that I'll get a bfp this cycle. There are so many stories of ladies doing cycle after cycle with REs/drugs and no results. Then, when taking a break their body does exactly what it's supposed to do and they go on to have a child. Wouldn't that be an awesome story?
In other news, I'm busy planning our trip to Asia. It's generally keeping my mind of ttc and that's a good thing. We are planning to go to both Malaysia and Thailand. I've not been to either so I'm pretty excited about checking out some new places--though a bit worried about the language barrier.
I've also sent out all the invitations for my sister's shower. I'm pretty much done with my responsibilities now and my mother is taking over from here. I'm glad I was able to do this for her even though it was emotionally pretty difficult. I'm not sure when we will get back to see her and the baby (she's due this summer). I'm sure that will be hard as well but for some reason my heart hasn't been as heavy lately. I think it's because I know that this will eventually work out for us. Someday we will have whatever child we were meant to have.
Your trip sounds absolutely amazing!! Enjoy! I love travelling too...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your natural cycle and planning your trip! I finally ovulated naturally this month and am in the TWW too. I can't wait to hear how things end up for you.
ReplyDeleteI've got my fingers crossed for a natural BFP!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Malaysia, but Thailand is wonderful - great food, nice people, beautiful country. I found that I did just fine without knowing the language - I tried to do a few language lessons before I got there, but couldn't understand what they were saying, so I didn't even know how to say thank you in Thai until I was actually there.
Fingers crossed that this cycle you'll get your BFP!
ReplyDeleteI've heard those stories, too. And you know what? They're more than stories. They DO happen, and so I'll cross fingers that you get lucky this month.
ReplyDeleteYour Asia trip sounds wonderful. Glad those invites are out and off your plate.
Stopping over from ICLW from #63 & #153.Best wishes with your natural cycle. What a road you've been on, huh? I hope that your journey comes to a joyous end soon.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm here for ICLW too. Best of luck this cycle! My sister is giving birth, oh, in the next two weeks or so. Sounds like you've got a great perspective on it. I try but don't always succeed in that regard :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck this cycle thirtiesgirl!!! I cross my fingers for you. I really hope that you enjoy your trip! It sounds like it will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteHere from ICLW. Have you ever had a full immune workup done? The trip to Asia sounds amazing. I've always wanted to go to Thailand. Good luck with everything.
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you ever considered IVF with CGS?
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop by and give you some love.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your trip planning. I wish I could get my DH to go somewhere besides the grocery store as our weekly trips! ;)
Anyway... hope this finds you well.
