That darn AF...

For those of you not in the "trying to conceive" world or not female...AF=aunt flow...you know menstrual cycle. *sighs* I hate seeing her ugly face every 28 days or so. I remember when we were dating and we hoped and prayed for AF to show up to ensure we weren't pregnant and now I would die for AF to miss me for..oh...say 9 months or so??:) Among the AF acronym there are a few other commonly used that you will probably see posted here. I am, by no means, a professional at this whole trying to conceive thing, but I have become lazy and enjoy typing ttc instead of trying to conceive:)
So back to the story at hand here...AF is back and she is stiff as awful as ever:( She was supposed to show her face on Saturday, so I was thrilled Sat night when there was nothing...so much so I wasted a test just to be disappointed again:( I truly do feel that the fate of our unborn child is in God's hands, but I am already so tired of waiting! I know there are people who wait for years and still never get a child of their own and I often feel so selfish for wanting my BPF(big fat positive-regarding a positive pregnancy test) so badly and to happen so quickly. It will happen when it's supposed to, but those words are never comforting when you're TTC...all you want is baby and you don't want to hear anything different.
I did make an appointment for 14Mar with hopes to get some questions answered and hopefully get some help with speeding things along a little more quickly. I would just kick myself if I wait until we've been trying for 1 year and they tell me that I have some sort of an issue and have to start a lengthy process. I am hoping they can fill me in on something and let me know why I am ovulating late in my cycle and to let me know if there is a problem with the late O day and what we can do to lengthen the days between od*ovulation day* and period day. Currently, I O on days 17-18 and my cycle usually lasts 28 days. That only leaves me with 10-11 days in my luteal phase*the time for little guys to get to where they need to go to make baby*.*sigh* there is so much going on and I feel like my head is going to explode sometimes. I do have faith that everything will work out...I just need to be patient.
So to keep me busy this week will probably be a slow week because I an anticipating the wedding of my best friend this weekend!!! I am the Maid Of Honor and I can not wait to take part of all of the wedding stuff!!!:) I have managed to catch a little cold this week already and hopefully a health dose of Vitamin C will kick that little booger right where it counts:)
I am off to get some rest and make dinner for the hubby:) Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches!!
