Why a Blog?

Hello everyone, I am Tifany Mulumba, and I am trying to have a baby. This is a blog which will show my journey through the process of trying to have a baby while having infertility conflicts. I have the aid of a great doctor, and we'll see how these aids help in the process.

I will be posting information I find out, along with daily blogs on my mood, my temperature/ovulation chart, prices of meds, etc.

So, I'm providing this blog so that those who are having the same issues know that they're not the only one's struggling with infertility. This gives me an outlet to vent, and others an outlet to gain information. I hope you all enjoy this, and I hope it helps give me some comfort.

Feeling discouraged.  Took a pregnancy test today because I woke up feeling super nauseous.  Test said, "Not Pregnant".  Guess it means that I just probably have stomach flu!

Month 3

So, we know the medroxyprogesterone helped me start my period.  Thank goodness!  Now, a new thing kinda happened that is a pleasant surprise, and annoying at the same time.  I noticed my first month, when I ovulated, the spot in my body where my ovaries are felt engorged and I was in pain.  I figured it was because I ovulated.  I did not experience that month two when I did not ovulate.  Now, this month, I was taking the saliva-based ovulation tester, and as far as the test was concerned, I was not ovulating.  However, one morning, I felt that same pain in my ovary-area, and decided to take a urine-based ovulation test, and it said positive!!!

So, of course, since we are trying to have a baby, the baby-making dance was on!!  So, I think I can tell, just based off paying attention to my body, when I'm ovulating :)  So hopefully, I won't have to buy anymore ovulation kits.  BUT, I am now decided that the saliva-based kit is NOT the way to go.  The urine-based test is the better choice.  My saliva-based test NEVER said I was ovulating, but the urine-based test has said it every time I have ovulated.  So there's the skinny!
