So, I'm not pregnant...

But it’s OK. I do have a cyst on my ovary, which the doctor assures me is no big deal. I need to wait until my cyst disappears to go back on Clomid. Well, actually I may have gotten myself taken off of Clomid altogether, but that’s another story.

Through all of this I’m really starting to realize the power of positivity. It’s not always easy and there are times I’m frustrated, upset, and a bit depressed, but then I remind myself that in the larger scheme of things I am blessed in many ways and I’m only in the beginning stages of trying to conceive. There are women who’ve been trying for years and my heart goes out to them.

I don’t know what’s to come, but I do know that assuming the worst without waiting to see what unfolds will only make things much more difficult to deal with. Some of the more skeptical, negative people I know always say they are that way because of what they’ve been through in life. But I think it doesn’t need to be that way. You should always learn from the past, and of course we are affected by and will always be the wiser (and a bit biased) because of our past experiences, but in spite of that, and maybe because of that, I think it’s vital to take each situation as it comes, and try to remain positive. I know I’ve lectured on this before but sometimes I just need to repeat it to keep myself focused.

So, I vow not to get upset, to stay up beat, and to keep on trucking, no matter how long the journey. I know that will not always be the case but I can certainly try. And trying is what I’m all about these days.
