This is not a fairytale. I learned that quite a few months ago. Naively, we went into this thinking "Oh! We want to have a baby now" and expected that it would happen because we wanted it to. And, for some that does work. Not for me - or many others like me. It's hard. It's emotional. It sometimes gets the best of you. So, after over a year of trying to conceive and a PCOS diagnosis, I find myself here - trying to believe.

Relax? Ha!

2/2/10~Cycle Day 32

I want to begin this blog by virtually punching in the face the people who tell you "Quit trying so hard and it will happen" or "Just relax and it'll happen." Ha! I'm racing my biological clock here folks. I have only 5 years until I'm 30. At 30, the risks for defects and lots of other scary things go up. Not to mention I have super long cycles. The norm is 28 days mine are around 40. Add a past history of cysts and irregularity of my period...no I'm sorry I just can't relax.

So, I have been using a charting site called Fertility Friend. It keeps track of your your cycle. You input your symptoms, basal body temperature, Ovulation Predictor test results, etc. You get a neat little graph. :) I've also joined an online forum for support and info/advice. Best group of ladies I have ever 'met'!

Anyway, just be a little more sensitive when someone is talking about their trouble conceiving, it may be a little more complicated than you think.
