8dpo update
A couple of days ago I experienced brown blood in my underwear during a bathroom break. I read that it could be implantation bleeding. This occurred 6dpo. I have been spotting off and on since. Ive been having cramps and a pulling sensation on either side of my pelvis. I am testing tomorrow morning at 9 dpo and I am scared of the results. I feel like I'm pregnant but as the days continue I start doubting. I will update you tomorrow!

4/22/15 Positive ovulation message!!
Today, I received my first positive ovulation message on the OvuSense! I am over the moon!!! I forgot which days we Baby Danced (or as my hubby calls it "baby scuffled") but according to K we covered all our basis's before and after ovulation. OvuSense detected ovulation today for Friday the 17th. I am having a hard time waiting to test... two weeks my friend TWO WEEKS!
Today, I am trying to stay hopeful and not get down on myself if it's not our month!

IT HAS BEEN AWHILE!
4/20/15 CD 24
Hi! I am sorry I haven't updated in awhile. K and I took a break from TTC and emotionally I am in a much better place!
Whats new?
A lot. We have purchased a machine that helps me identify when and if I am ovulating. It was a little bit of a strain financially but the people at OvuSense were great and gave me a payment plan so I was able to purchase the machine. The website is www.ovusense.com it's a great product but we have been using it for one entire cycle and it hasn't confirmed ovulation. I am NOT currently taking clomid I am giving myself a 3-6 months to drop some weight and see if I ovulate on my own before going back to Dr. B. I may not want or need Clomid by then but I want to walk into her office with a lower BMI and with some insight on things (my body). Last time I knew she wanted to refer me to a specialist anyway so I want to be prepared!
I have started a challenge within myself to eat as little carbs as possible, eat "clean" (about 70/30) and start taking supplements. I am waiting on them now. I will update on my cycles, and ovulation news... so far not much is happening but I am in a positive mood!! Things may start looking up... that gives me HOPE!

Taking a "break"
Hi Friends,
I haven't written in a while. I just wanted to update everyone.
1. I am not pregnant
2. Nothing new has happened at all
I have the last couple of months decided to take a break. Tracking, taking pills and timing everything is a lot on my mind and sanity so I have decided to take a official "break" from TTC. I have ordered "The 21 day fix" and should get it today. My goal: take the next 5 months to try and shed about 40-50 pds and hopefully the doctors are right and that will help jump start things. I think I will need intensive fertility treatments and know doctors will laugh me out of the office if I am overweight like I am. Plus, even if I were to get prego I wouldn't want the baby to be hurt by my health. Remember, I am a diabetic whose sugars are out of control. I plan to get my A1C down within the next 3-6 months and hopefully by 2016 either be prego or ready to start treatments!
Stay tuned this is still "project baby Pickett" it's just taking a different turn.
Happy Holidays and here is to 2015!

ROUND 4
Today starts a all new round!
Yesterday: I called my doctor but she is on vacation... so, the other doctor (who I have never seen) made the decision that since I am not getting any positive at home pregnancy tests I can start a whole new round of Provera and Clomid.
So today starts a new round and today is a new day! Trying to keep my head up!!

Cycle Day 40 and 19 Days Past Ovulation
Hello Friends,
Today is Cycle Day 40 and 19 Days Past a positive ovulation test. I have lost hope for this month! I feel defeated, upset and stressed out. I am trying to keep my emotions under wraps and not to let it get me down... but sometimes its hard to always be so positive when news is always so negative. I don't think I ovulated this month. I did get a positive test but I think its because the hormone was high enough to ovulate but then my body didn't do it. That's my guess anyway. I took a pregnancy test yesterday around noon and it was a negative one (again). I am on day 19 and still no period. The doctor wants me to wait until day 21 before taking a blood pregnancy test. Is it possible to still be getting negative pregnancy tests at day 19 and be pregnant? Doubtful. Possible but I am doubtful that is my case this month. I really want to just take the test, get the negative result I am expecting and move on to a new month! Head up Jessica Head up!
Thanks for listening,
Jessica

18 days past ovulation and my cycle hasn't start yet
I called my doctor today and of course... she is on vacation. The nurse said she would talk to the other doctor in her practice and see what he suggests (I have never seen this doctor before fyi). He suggests that I wait until day 21 and give them a call. I haven't taken a home test since day 14. Could be two things at this point. 1. I didn't actually ovulate 2. I am pregnant 3. My cycle is just late. I am hoping for the second option as you can probably guess. This wait is a killer! Keep your fingers crossed!
