One Day At A Time

As I start this journey down the infertility road, I still question am I really infertile. I've started reading a lot...on the Internet and books. Almost everything says to listen to your body. When I listen to my body, I "hear" nothing. Well, okay maybe I do "hear" some stuff. When I think of something being wrong, I think of being sick or in pain and I have neither of those two things. After my miscarriage my AF is pretty regular. This past month I started charting my basal body temperature. Every morning my alarm clock goes off at 8am and I take my temperature and then write it down. I have also been doing an ovulation kit. My findings so far are that this is tough. Is my temperature spiking or am I just a little high today? Just when I think , "Okay, this is a spike, I'm going to ovulate, I drop again." The ovulation kit hasn't indicated that I'm ovulating. The line keeps getting darker, but it's not as dark as the control line. I can't bring myself to check my cervical mucus. One book I read suggested becoming familiar with my cervix. Is that normal? Do women really do that? Do they really check their cervical mucus? I mean I know when I get to the egg white stage because it's there on the toilet paper, but to literally check it myself my feeling down there, I just don't know. What is normal and what do I do? Anyway, this isn't want I intended to share....lol. I wanted to share a quote from a book that I'm reading called A Few Good Eggs Two Chicks Dish on Overcoming the Insanity of Infertility.
