Here's what's been happening in our world........
~June 24th----miscarriage----we were only a few weeks but that's the closest we've ever been
~ Those weeks following the miscarriage were the WORST of my entire life. It makes us wonder why God is putting us through all of this but a friend wrote me in a card that said " God only gives struggles or hardships to those He knows can handle them" Which makes me wanna say, "well why the heck do i have to be the strong one" but truly that is who i am, i'm the person everyone expects to be the strong one and that can handle anything. well that is over and done with and we are moving on but not forgetting
~Waited to see if I would ovulate when i did on clomid around cd 17 or 18 but i didn't so we started to abstain for 2 weeks so i could take a preggo test to confirm i wasn't preggo and then start provera and then clomid again
~ July 13th---half way through the abstaining for two weeks i felt kinda funny so i took an OPK and it was positive so we BD that day and the day after. now it's a wait and see game.
Other than the TTC aspect of our life we are doing well. Although TTC is a HUGE part of our life and now with things the way they are we are looking more seriously into adoption and are on a waiting list (#20 on the list--about 1-1.5yrs before we would receive a child) however we are still going to TTC during that time.
This weekend is the BIG party I've been planning for a while now. It's my parents 25th wedding anniversary and we are having around 80 people at our house. Gosh I hope it doesn't rain! So far the forecast looks beautiful but that can change on a dime here in Wisconsin.

Im sorry you havve to go threw that, i hate that expression what dont kill you will make you stronger. Ive always been considered the strong one in my family and i have 5 siblings and my parents are still together. I swear when i had that m/c i was going to go insane, i was 10weeks and 3days, my parents have prepared me for a lot of things in life but they skipped the m/c lesson. My mom had two and i was so happy i could talk to her because she knew what i was feeling(she never told us she had a m/c until then, my parents kept that between themselves) and my father was able to talk to my fiance about it because my fiance did not have a clue about what was going on and why. This was his first child. Ive never felt so much pain and greif in my life, and things i consider to be bad crisises, ive been threw some and i handled them well, but this m/c, i was falling about for almost 3 weeks, i had took a month and a half off from work to regroup. I wish you well on ttc and blowing baby dust your way. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
I'm sorry...I do know exactly how you feel. Why does God give and take away? It takes forever but it does get easier. Good luck with TTC...I know a lot of people get on the adoption list and then end up pregnant! My husband's cousin tried to get pregnant for forever...her and her husband adopted 3 boys (all brother's) and surprise! Now they have a baby girl! She is actually starting at the hospital in Marshfield as an RN in the NICU, PICU, and maternity the end of July! Good luck with your party too! I'll hope it doesn't rain, but like you said, "in WI...???!!!!"
