UPDATE - it hasnt been 6 cycles . . . it has been 7 full cycles, sigh.
So this makes 6 months since I had my last miscarriage and I am getting bummed because I really thought we had a chance this month. We have had several months of really good timing. I think we are doing it a little too frequently, but DH doesnt think so. I called today to make an appointment with a fertility specialist which isnt easy with a HMO. You have to get a referral, and I did that a few years ago but then got pregnant on my own before I had any treatment. I am trying to figure out if I need a new referral or if I can still use the old one.
I have to face facts that I am 38, have had 3 miscarriages and after each miscarriage it is taking me longer and longer to get pregnant again, sigh. I have to go double check the numbers, but after the first one (that was "only" a chemical pregnancy) I was pregnant again 2 months later . . . then after that one it was 4 or 5 cycles . . . and now it has been 6 cycles and I am still not pregnant, sigh.
I guess it is hard too because I just ate at a restaurant that I went to right before I lost my last angel and as I was reading the menu I remembered that there were a lot of items with Gorgonzola cheese and I was avoiding those because I was pregnant the last time I read the menu.
Don't mind me I am just having a little AF has arrived pity party . . . I should snap out of it soon. I am thinking a bottle of wine this weekend will help.
My struggles to be a Mother are chronicled in this blog. This blog was started after I got my third positive pregnancy test. I had hoped that the 3rd time was going to be a charm, but I have since lost that one too. I still have hope that I will be able to have a healthy baby of my own someday despite having three angel babies. Things changed when I felt a lump on my breast . . . my journey now includes breast cancer treatment. I have no idea if I can still be a mother after this . . .

Today was my EDD for my last Angel.
Wow, I did not realize I haven't posted since July! Wow, time flies. I have been very busy with the business, and since the summer is a very slow time of year it has been very preoccupying and stressful (sorry grammar police, I think this last sentence was grammatically incorrect)
Well, today is the due date of my last Angel :-( It is also the day before my 38th birthday. *sigh* I feel kindof emotionally numb . . . I know I should have a huge belly right now, or maybe even have a newborn, but sadly I am not even pregnant. I am sad, but I think I am so tired of being sad that I just cant be that sad anymore. And now I am offically closer to 40 than 35 * double sigh*
It doesnt help that I saw a ton of very pregnant ladies this weekend. I am looking forward to cooler weather as at least I can delude myself into thinking they are just fat and not pregnant.
In general lately I have lost focus . . . It seems hard to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes. Maybe it is a sign that I am getting old, or that I was crazy for buying a business while working full time and trying to get pregnant. But life is boring if you don't don anything.
I miss you my last angel . . . keep your other angel siblings company.
