MIA

Looks like I have been MIA from this blog for a while.  I really didn't intend to be but I guess it is a result of already feeling a little hopeless in our trying to conceive journey.  I just don't feel like we will be pregnant any time soon.  I imagine that thought has something to do with the happenings around me in the pregnancy realm.  We are still trying.  I order some fertility predictor strips but have yet to use them.  The month they came in it was too late in my cycle to use them, the next month I was in discouraged mode, and this month I will start using them tomorrow.

Starting to Have Doubts

I am starting to have doubts that conceiving a second child will be any different than it was with conceiving Micah.  My cycle has changed to 26 days instead of 28 days.  I don't think the shorter cycle is anything to worry about, because I am 99% sure I am ovulating on day 12.  From what I have read that would put the length of both phases of my cycle where they need to be.  It also gives me more chances of conceiving each year.  I'm somewhat thankful, although disappointed, that we didn't conceive in March, because two of my friends just experienced miscarriages.  My heart is broken for them.
