To Test or Not To Test

That is the question.

For those of you that don't know, my fabulous husband and I have been trying to conceive (TTC) since November '08. I know that doesn't sound like very long, but believe me, I feel like it's been ages!

Pre-BCP, my cycle was always 28 days-on-the-dot. The first two months post-BCP was still 28 days, then it slipped to 30, and last month it was Thirty. Five. Days. I was, first of all, pissed, but also completely convinced that I was knocked up. That was not fun, and Mike got upset that I got my hopes up. I can't really explain to him how hard it is to have my body going haywire after so many years of knowing exactly what to expect. Men...

So anyway, today is Day 28, and no nothing (I know we all know what I'm talking about, but I can't bring myself to be graphic). I'm trying to figure out how my body is adjusting and how to know when late is actually late. I had my annual check-up on February 23, and talked about all things conception with my doctor (who is new, but I love, by the way). She asured me that, yes, my body is still adjusting and it will just take time.

I wish I didn't know so many people who got a BFP (big fat positive) their first month off the pill. Grrr...
