Unfortunately my period showed up Thursday night...a pathetic 10 days after I ovulated. Why oh why did things get better for one cycle and then go right back to where they started the next???? I just don't get it! Of course I want another baby, but at this point I really, really just want my body to work right. I'm taking supplements, using progesterone cream, doing weekly acupuncture, eating healthier than I have in a long time, trying to cut out everything that could possibly contribute to the estrogen dominance and nothing is changing. It's so frustrating and honestly I'm starting to feel like my body is letting me and a lot of other people down, inculding the baby I miscarried in November.

I'm really praying that this month will be different...

After several days of feeling like crap I finally started feeling better. My poor hubby on the other hand continued to get worse and after discovering that we both had a painful rash on our hands and feet, decided to make him an appt with the doc yesterday. I had already diagnosed us with Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease, but still wanted him to get checked out since he was feeling so terrible. Sure enough, I was right and unfortunately for him, he had lesions covering his throat, fluid in his ear and severe sinus congestion and post nasal drip, but no strep, no ear infection and no sinus infection, therefore he was sent home with instructions to "rest and give it another week or so". Needless to say, he wasn't a happy camper, but as of today he finally seems to be improving. Gotta love the highly contagious viruses passed around at preschool that cause your child to be sick for 2 days tops and leave mom and dad feeling like they are on their death bed!!!

In cycle news, I'm 10 dpo today. Woke up to a small temp drop this morning and later on in the day had some spotting. I'm sure my period will start tomorrow, leaving me with an unsatisfactory luteal phase once again. I don't understand why things seemed to get better one month and then this month I'm right back where I started??

I'm sick. Hubby came down with a nasty something about a week ago and has been sick ever since. I was just starting to think that I had escaped his germs, but I was wrong. It hit us both the same way...one minute feeling fine, the next...horrible. I'm not sure if it was related or just a coincidence, but I also ended up with a migraine yesterday. I thought I just might die. I think it's some sort of flu bug...whole body aches, headache, sore throat, congestion...ugh. It's just horrible. Needless to say I have gone between my bed and the couch. Hubby was wonderful and brought me home my favorite Ice Cream and a chick flick to watch after church. If that wasn't enough, he and the Princess went to my office to put together a new desk I got and then went to our Softball game that I am obviously not playing in tonight. He is still pretty sick, but none-the-less, doing what he can to help me out. I really do love that man!! ;)

I hesitate to even post this, but just in case it is something, cool. If not, it won't be the first time I've made a fool out of myself. I've been really crampy the last couple days. I'm 6 dpo...still pretty early to feel anything, but in the midst of being sick yesterday I had this constant cramping. I've had it today too, although not as much. It is more than likely related to being sick, but still gives me pause, considering both times I have been pregnant I have been extremely "crampy" in the 2ww. I'm not getting my hopes up (really, I'm not), but it doesn't make me wonder a bit...

Okay, that's all I have for now. Back to laying on the couch, doing absolutely nothing.

Yesterday I was quite content with my status of not being pregnant.

Today...

All I want is to be pregnant!

Am I the only crazy one out there?

How is it that my feelings can change so much within a 24 hour time span???
