Long break and busy life

I didn't even realize that my last post was a month and a half ago. Where has the time gone?

Well June was filled with anniversaries and birthday parties. June 6th, I celebrated 2 wonderful years of marriage with my husband. And June 19th, our baby girl turned 1. Time goes by so quickly, now she is toddling all around our little apartment. :) It's times like this that I miss holding her in my arms as a newborn, and very much pray everyday that we can give her a sibling.

Before I dive into charts and emotions, I wanted to share some picture from our anniversary and Miriam's birthday party.

This is the view from our hotel balcony. That was a fun trip! Thanks honey!

This is Miriam's Cupcake Cake. I spent many hours baking, putting together, and frosting.  A slight masterpiece if I do say so myself. :) Plus it was very tasty!!!!

Her cake face says it all, we have one happy baby!

So when my life hasn't been consumed with chasing after a crazy one year old, we are still actively trying to conceive with no luck. I think I am either 7 or 8 cycles trying to conceive, and I have to admit that I'm a bit tired.

We pray, we try, we hope, we pray some more and every cycle ends in my period and very deflated hopes. So then I try not "trying" and then I freak out even more because what if we missed our window, have we wasted another 30 days?

I don't think I've ever linked my chart here, so those of you who love to analyse charts or follow my progress here you go:

So where am I today? I'm 6 days past ovulation and not feeling well. Because I have been diagnosed  with low progesterone, I have to take progesterone supplements peak +3 to peak +13 and then test on 14 days past ovulation. And progesterone make you feel pregnant, each and every cycle. The low appetite, the yucky tummy, the beyond tired feeling. You just feel drained and you can't get excited about any of it, because it doesn't mean you're pregnant. Very frustrating.

Before signing off today I wanted to mention an amazing Catholic NFP forum that you would be silly not to join if you love NFP type forums. This one is true to the Church, so no crazy stuff to make a baby, and they offer a lot of support and prayers, a great group of Catholic women. Registration is free, and you won't regret becoming a part of this amazing online forum!

I think that does it for today. Keep the Faith, keep trying, never give up hope, and realize the amazing plans God has in store for your life!
