I was on birth control for years and I stopped taking it in January in hopes that we would get pregnant this year since it usually takes awhile for your body to get rid of all those hormones. Well everything was fine up until July. Now, I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER missed a period since the day I started at age 11. Well in July I was really late but it did finally come. Well then August came and went, and September came and went and no period. So I took two pregnancy tests a couple of weeks apart and nothing! I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms other than a missed period so that was frustrating. So of course both of the home tests came up negative.
I finally made a dr. appointment at Overlake OB/GYN in Bellevue. I had my appointment on Sept 22nd. They had me take another pregnancy test which of course was negative. Then they gave me Provera which is a pill that makes you have your period. It is a pill you take for 10 days (that makes you extremely nauseous and pumps you with hormones). The doc told me that if I don't get my period by day 13 to give them a call. Well I was going to call on day 14 to tell them I hadn't gotten my period but I woke up with a surprise...thank God! So now my body is making up for the fact that I didn't have a period for 2 months cuz I feel absolutely horrible! Every symptom you could have from your period I am now experiencing.
So to try and find out why I wasn't ovulating I am going to get my blood drawn on Day 3, Day 14 & Day 21 of my cycle. So tomorrow is my first day of getting my blood drawn and as soon as they receive the 3rd time they will call me and tell me what is going on with my body. I am praying that everything is ok and that we will still be able to have kids.
So speaking of kids, we just found out that Jessica will be having a baby boy and they are naming him Issac. :) I already bought him some adorable Seahawks stuff! :)
Also, I do have to say that after completing every troubleshooting tip for Internet Explorer not letting Blogger work, Ben was smart enough to download Mozilla Firefox onto my computer and
I can now blog and comment from my laptop again! Thank you Ben!

I'm amazed neither of us are pregnant yet cuz my doctor told me she had a patient of hers get pregnant 1 week after going off birth control! She said the old forms of b.c., it would take awhile for your body to get back to normal -- nowadays it's a matter of 24 hours! Unbelievable, huh? Sorry to hear you are in some pain now... but it will pass. My period has been screwy too - I'm sure yours is nothing more than your body trying to regulate itself. We will be buying baby things soon... no worries!!! =)
