Cautiously Hopefull

I know I am doing two posts in one day but they are a little different and I did not need to have any readers confused...

So last month with all my craziness that I felt I reflected back on every reason the Doctor said that we were not able to get pregnant at the moment and that medicine could fix it. But I also remembered what a good friend told me about something that I could do to help my issue. So I started using a bioidentical progesterone cream which I was not sure it was going to work, but I thought it could not hurt... so I followed the directions and made sure that I used just the right amount. My normal cylce is about 31 days, and I normally ovulate on day 30 of 31... again no chance to have a baby...

Well after my next cycle I started testing my ovulation again, and I will have you know that I ovulated on day 18!!!!! This is a HUGE Praise for me! So I told Paul and let him know what I was doing, he said as long as it was not pills or shots he was ok. I was glad. About 2 days afterwards I noticed that my tastebuds were off. Nothing that I normally liked tasted good anymore. Coke tasted like tar, diet coke the same, Coffee made me gag, Pizza was nasty, and even Chick Fil A tasted bad! I am thinking this is so wierd. Then a few days after that I got a HORRIBLE headache that lasted 3 days! I noticed I get nauseated throughout the day and at times I feel exhausted. I had a few other symptoms that were just so strange to me... I got to thinking, maybe... nah, but maybe. I stared to look up the earl symptoms of pregnancy, and they all sound about right, but then again those are all signs of PMS... lol. I took a test a few days ago and it was negative, but it could be too early still.

I have never had PMS, only bloating the day before I start and cramps the day of... but this is sooo different for me. It could be that my body is regulating itself, but it is in God's hands! We will test again next week and if the "P" day comes and goes and the test is still negative then I will be making an appointment for a blood test. We are cautiously hopeful for this miracle, but it is totally God's will. As much as I would at times think that I have the credit for using the progesterone cream, nothing happens without his hand in it!

If next Wednesday comes and I am obviously not pregnant I will have peace that my body is at least moving in the correct direction! It is a huge praise that I ovulated so early. So we are praying for God's will during this time whether it means we give birth to a baby in December, or whether we continue to try until God deciedes it is time! Thank you friends for keeping us in your prayers!
