Back to the Start

We are decidedly not pregnant. Obviously, we would prefer for this not to be true. The cycle ended last Monday, right on schedule. We are sad to not be pregnant, but we are thankful that the cycle started that day because it means we inseminated on the right day(we were worried we did not)....and everything is working just the way it should. YAY for normal-ish cycles. 

Intentionally trying to make a baby is a bit like getting whiplash every two weeks, over and over again. It is very strange to be quite hopeful one day that there is a tiny human growing, and just a few hours later to know there is not. It feels like you have lost something, though it was never really there. Then, just as quickly (without anytime to really contemplate what has happened) you have appointments for the next insemination, the next shot to make your family a little more awesome. I'm ready. Come on awesome!!
