TTC CYCLE 1: BFN

So I am unfortunately NOT pregnant. I didn't even get the chance to test. AF came yesterday and I wasn't planning to test until today. To be honest I am pretty disapppointed. I really thought I was pregnant!!!  I was having so much fun looking at all the baby stuff...I was just really in baby mode the last couple of weeks. I know its just the first month, so I am trying to stay positive and just enjoy my Mother's Day weekend with Mitch, Cooper and my mom! 

Mitch planned a great Mother's Day picnic, got me flowers and Cooper made me a great card at daycare. Mitch also let me sleep in an extra day this weekend and surprised me by doing a few of my chores. I am also going to my mom's house for dinner tonight which should be nice. Aside from finding out that I am not pregnant, this has been a fantastic Mother's Day weekend! 

I don't really plan to do anything different next cycle but I have started reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". I have been meaning to read this book for a while now. It talks about natural birth control, pregnancy achievement, and reproductive health. It explains how to chart and discusses fertility in general. I am already familiar with the "Fertility Awareness Method" in general, but I will see if there is anything else in this book that can help us in our TTC journey. 

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there, including those mothers who lost their babies too soon and those who are struggling to finally have their babies. 

God Bless,
