This cycle is rough.  That is an understatement.  It is our first cycle trying, and having a typically late ovulation sucks.  Like... A lot.  We got the dreaded flashing smiley face this morning, along with a very negative strip OPK.  2.5 hours later she got the darkest line we have seen this cycle.  That has to be a good sign, right?  She will take another one this afternoon with a 4.5 hour hold.  I am almost too terrified of being let down to be hopeful.

Introduction

My sanity.  Definitely something that I need to constantly hang onto...

I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog for awhile, and I think now is the time.  I usually find solace in putting my thoughts down into words.

So here we are, two lesbian twentysomethings trying to conceive our first child (well - her first.  My fourth...).  It is incredibly nerve-wracking and I am definitely losing sleep over it!  We are using frozen donor sperm and have a very small time window.  If that isn't enough pressure, we currently have about $1,000 (give or take!) of sperm hanging out on or back porch.  No pressure.
