Well, the dreaded two-week wait in March turned out to be a bust. I was going by my symptoms to determine when I was ovulating. Since being off the pill at the end of January, I have experienced very strong ovulation symptoms, namely breast tenderness. However I realize, after the March cycle became a bust, that by the time I felt my ovulation symptoms, I have already ovulated a few days prior. Therefore, we had already missed the fertile period. The egg can only live for 12-24 hours after ovulation. The egg needs to have sperm already waiting in the fellopian tube in order to become fertilized. Talk about a pampered egg!
In doing all the research on how to get pregnant, I came upon my favorite pregnancy website called Baby-ga-ga. They have a week-by-week play calling of what's happening to the growing baby and what the mother experiences. They also have tons of adorable applications such as pregnancy tickers, cartoons, and a due date calculator. The site also has tons of information regarding babies and children. The web is such a fertile place for information. Now if only I'm as fertile...
