So I guess now I am in the "2 Week Wait" I had a positive OPK test on Saturday and Sunday I was so surprised to even get a positive I couldn't stop smiling...





I'm still waiting for Fertility Friend to give me my crosshairs but I've been told it's 3 days after you O. Now I just have to wait to test and see if something sticks this wait is going to be agonizing.

My mother told me the other day that a psychic told her I'd be PG by the end of the year. That her daughter the one with problems with her ovaries would be pregnant. I don't know if any of you believe in psychics but a lot of what she had told my mother has come true this year. She said it has been super strange that so much of what she had said has come true. I know I can't put all my hope on something that some psychic lady told my mother but the thought does have me excited. I'm hoping I don't have to go through years and years of problems like many of you women have.

The subject of TTC has come up a number of times between Clayton and myself. I suffer with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and trying to decide when the right time to start a family was always an interesting topic for us. I always wanted to be a mum, I always wanted to be a young mother. Here I am 26 and a half emotionally ready to have a child. I feel I've gone through my education, had a blast with a little bit of traveling and feel settled and content in our marriage. With all this in mind there has been a few things that have maybe made us rethink our decision.

Clayton is out of work and I'm only freelancing. At the moment Clayton does have unemployment coming in which lasts until May. My freelancing is always up and down so you can't guarantee a steady paycheck. We currently have medical coverage privately, so that isn't an issue. We also live in a 1 Bedroom cottage that we rent from Clayton's uncle which is on his property. With a nice rent discount we have been able to save a little bit of money to help us out in a situation if I were to become PG.

Whether to start TTC now or wait until Clayton got a job was a tough decision for us. I feel I don't want to wait much longer due to my PCOS I've read many women's experiences where it has taken years to conceive and some are still trying. I really don't want to give up those years of fertility! I don't want to wake up one morning and realize I am 30 something and then those fertile years are gone, yeah sure Clayton has good job but we are then in for an even rougher road when we are TTC. As I said before I always wanted to be a young mother, in my 20s at least. Clayton and I have decided we would like at least 2 kids properly spaced apart which means I would be having my second child in my 30s anyway.

There is no way of knowing what the future holds I could conceive right away it could take a couple of months it could even take a year. Clayton could also find work next week or he could find work just before his unemployment runs out. There's no way of knowing. It's a leap of faith, all I know my heart is saying yes and I just have to have faith that things will work out for the best. Maybe I'm selfish and people might say it's irresponsible, but you only have one life this is it! I'm not going to waste these precious years of fertility, especially with the dreaded PCOS hanging over our heads.
