My Very First Post Ever!

I used to wonder what kind of ego-maniac, attention seeker would set up an internet site to talk about themselves and actually think that someone out there might read it AND possibly be interested in their ramblings. It turns out that I'm that ego maniac!

I need you. And by "you," I mean the collective group of you who can fall into the category of questionably-sane-baby-seekers-who-aren't-pregnant-even-though-everybody-else-in-the-world-including-the-balding-guy-next-door-appears-to-have-a-bun-in-the-oven. I can't be the only person in this category. I know you're out there. And if you're not, I guess I'll talk to myself. That would be a shame though, because I find my ramblings sophomoric and blase, so I likely wouldn't have anything nice to say.

Here's where we stand today: After getting off of birth control pills 17 months and 26 days ago, my husband and I had been taking the if-it-happens-that-would-be-great approach to baby making. One can only do that for so long before noticing that everyone is getting pregnant or looks pregnant (I mean, even my cat is looking a little tubby in the belly - et tu kitty???! I'd even heard stories of mythical women who had gotten pregnant on accident! I don't really believe it though). Eventually, I got some specialists to take a look at my womanly bits, and my dear new OB/gyn finally figured out it's a progesterone issue and put me on Clomid. I did my first Clomid cycle last month, and after 5 pounds of weight gain (not an OUNCE of which went to my boobs), a week and a half of the unsexiest sex ever (for those of you who haven't done it, my first experience with TTC sex was comical), days of weeping in my car because that new Taylor Swift song is so sweet, and 4 negative pregnancy tests, the flow started four days late and I was crushed.

Now starts cycle 2, and this is where the blog begins. For those of you who have been TTC for so much longer than me and who have not resorted to writing a blog or kicking your dog, I envy your strength, and I'm here for you sister!
