get pregnant

Okay – it was a false alarm…I am still not pregnant and trying. Sometimes I feel really frustrated but it is totally out of my control, so God please help me! Keep on praying…:) But today I feel that I am motivated again – there is always hope right?

Wish everyone here good luck again!

So my last entry to this goal is about 5 months ago! LOL. Anyway, in the past 5 months, whenever I received the reminder from this website, I felt not that good since I was not pregnant. But I felt happy to see it today since I believe that I am pregnant this time! I will go to the doctor next week for a formal examination.

There are too many distractions during the past year, so in some of the months I was too tired to try to get pregnant. I am praying God that everything will be fine every since now. :)

Wish u good luck as well~

So Oct. 9th should be the end of my 26-day period, so far I am 2 day late. I did one pregnancy test yesterday using first morning urine, it is a very clear negative – nothing there. I felt disappointed, but I told myself I still have the months to come to go on trying. There is an on-going distraction now – we plan to buy a house ASAP since we got enough down payment finally! So will begin to look around with our realtor this Saturday afternoon, WOOHOO! Felling really excited! Hopefully we can get an ideal house and move in by the end of this year or early Jan. 2008. I do hope my baby could play in our backyard happily!

p.s. I couldn’t sleep well for two nights- on Oct. 6 I couldn’t fall into sleep for hours! Feeling so anxious, possible because of the TV show Heroes, LOL! This morning I couldn’t fall into sleep after I came bk from bathroom on 5am..Heart pumping faster for two days. Hopefully I am not getting an heart attacks!

I am worrying again…:( I don’t have any feelings now… other than the feeling of waiting… if I am pregnant, I should have some feelings right? But no, absolutely no. I feel very normal, or more than normal. Good sleep, good appetite, no dizziness… I have this feeling that I am not pregnant this time, frustrated.

So, a tired weekend…I am throwing a Thanksgiving party this Sunday, my focus has shifted to the preparation. It is good since I won’t have that much time to think of the results. My husband told me not to think that much. At least I know I am ovulating normally. So if we won’t get it down this month, we can still go on trying for months…cheer up!!

So I did another OPK test on Friday evening – this time it is quite sure that the LH is going to surge. On Saturday morning I did a test again – bingo! It was positive! So no more doubt, I was going to ovulate in 2 days (which means Saturday and Sunday!) So we did try…:) Now keep my finger crossed…pray and pray!

I know I shouldn’t. It might be true that I have missed the LH surge for this month already. BUT, what if I don’t ovulate at all?? This thought scared me – with period visiting me every month but no ovulation??

The third negative day. However, I went through one article online about the best timing to use OPK. It said that:

The LH surge is very brief and in order to detect the LH surge, you need to test at the right time of the month – and the right time of day. The best times to test are between 11am and 3pm and 5pm and 10pm. If you want to make sure that you catch your LH surge, you may want to test twice a day, once in the earlier time frame and the other in the later time frame. Please keep in mind that while you may have the initial surge of LH earlier in the day if testing via blood tests, you will not get a positive result on the ovulation test until 4-5 hours later when the surge actually reaches your urine. Be sure to test at the same time each day.

So, I was not doing the right thing – I was using the OPK stick for the first urine in the morning around 7;45am, and that’s too early. I am planning to do it again tonight at the right time.

So the Ovulation Test is negative again this morning, which means I am not going to ovulate in 2 days. I read a book talking about deciding your most fertile day by checking cervix fluid everyday last night. Personally I feel it is a good idea since we can do it whenever we go to bathroom. But to decide the “peak day”, which means the most fertile day, I need to measure my basal temperature everyday. The digital thermometer I am using shows that I have almost same body temp everyday (not sure whether that’s because of taking the temperature at armpit). I gave up the temperature measurement for one week, maybe I should pick it up?

Have been trying to get pregnant ever since June, 2007. One of my friends who is 3 years younger than me just got pregnant. She had been trying for 2 years. She called me last night and told me that she is using Ovulation Test Kits last month and now she is pregnant! I went to buy the OTK immediately with my husband after dinner last night, used the first stick this morning but the LH is not there…will keep on trying in the coming 6 days, and next month around the same time…praying to God and wish me good luck~
