1st Blog Post

Hi!

Welcome to my Trying To Conceive blog.


Please forgive me for not putting too many personal details in here - it will be in the public domain and I don't want every Tom, Dick and Harry knowing who I am!

My husband and I have a child together already - a daughter who is 1 year old, and now feel we are ready for baby number 2

I have been off the pill now since approximately the 10th of January 2007, so far we have not succeeded in getting pregnant, although this month I got a few positive pregnancy tests and my period was late - leading me to believe I have had a chemical pregnancy.

Definition of Chemical Pregnancy, courtesy of storknet.com:
"chemical pregnancy" - form of miscarriage. It is termed "chemical" because the only clinical evidence of pregnancy is a lab test, which indicates that that implantation occurred but only developed long enough to raise your circulating blood level of hCG. These are often early non-viable genetic "accidents."

But, I'm not getting down-hearted.

Everything happens for a reason, and here's to next month.

I have created this blog so those that know me can keep track of my progress (I am hoping that this blog will also become a pregnancy blog!) and those that don't can read it and hopefully it can help others in similar situations.

So - here goes - comments welcome by the way! Would love to hear other people's experiences and thoughts.

My period started this afternoon - was 2 days late and I always usually come on in the mornings, but I contribute this to a suspected chemical pregnancy.
Have got some Ovulation testing sticks so, even though my husband and I will be making love regularly, I want to be able to pin-point ovulation just for my own piece of mind.

Have had a bit of a stomach bug the past couple of days, as has my daughter so have not been eating well or feeling too great. Hopefully that is on it's way out and I can get on with being a more production wife and mother!

Bye for now
