The waiting game

Trying to conceive has to be one of the longest processes known to man, or more realistically, woman.
I've spent a lot of time this past couple of weeks working out ovulation, and trying to find ways of increasing our chances. Thyroid disease/problems can reduce fertility, so we decided not to take chances and do everything we can to help it along.
Therefore I've spent a large amount of time reading, and I've seen some stories that have really tugged at my heart, including some couples who have been trying for years to catch that conception train.
It's sad to read of so many women, left heartbroken when her monthly period arrives yet again. Whilst at the same time, others get pregnant whilst using contraception and trying not to.

It makes me realise how lucky we are to have DD, and how we should take our time, and not over stress this period. We need to take our time, and let it happen, and wait.

Waiting is a large part of conception. Waiting for some "quiet time", waiting for ovulation, waiting for symptoms such as a missed period, and then waiting for a positive test. Then, if it doesn't happen, we get the pleasure of "rinse and repeat."

But still, lets look at it this way... it's going to be a lot of fun trying.
