July and August have been extremely crazy for my husband and me. We planned a trip to a new city to scope out potential houses and visited with family. We had an amazing time and found the cutest house that'll be perfect for us to grow into. We've been bouncing around apartments for the past five or six years so to finally have a home to call ours (well, we're renting, but still) is so great.
We spent all of July packing and preparing to move, dealt with some family drama, and at the end of the month said goodbye. We had been living in our previous town for the past year so my husband and his brother were able to work together to start a business. We gave it a year and then planned to move somewhere we both wanted to be so we could really settle down. I knew if we were going to get serious about trying to have a baby, I wanted to at least be within driving distance of my family so they could see and spend time with our kids as they got older.
Here we are one month in and I've already started a new job. We are, mostly, unpacked and getting settled into our new home. So far things are going really great. We've been spending a lot of time hanging out with my husbands cousins who live in the area - it's like having instant best friends!
We have continued to just try to "see how it goes" while checking ovulation days. With the move, we don't have health insurance coverage until after I've been at my new job for 90 days, so we'll have to wait that long just to make a new doctor appointment. I'm slightly frustrated over some of the time I feel like has been wasted this year, but I know that we are on the path to figuring out why we haven't been successful in getting pregnant so far.
My period is currently nine days late. I haven't taken a test yet. Frankly, because I just have a gut feeling that it will be negative. It's been a few months since the HSG procedure and I feel like it may have wound up being a temporary fix to whatever my problems are. I've gone so long with skipped periods that I just don't want to get my hopes up. I'm sure I'll take a test in a few days just to be sure, but for now, I'm not crossing my fingers.
