one at a time, thank you very much

Days late: 8
Negative pregnancy tests: 4 (including 1 blood test)

Still no period, but alas, I'm not pregnant. So now what? I've been in this situation before. For some unknown reason, I went four months without a period last year. I had to start taking birth control to regulate things, but that's no longer an option now that we're trying to make a baby. Problem is, it's a lot harder to make a baby when you have an irregular period and NO IDEA when you're going to ovulate. Harder, but not impossible.

It's only been 8 days, so I need to give it a bit more time and see what happens. I'm going to Florida for a mini vacation April 1, so I'll likely start March 31st. That's life, right? If not, we may try clomid this summer, to stimulate ovulation. I was relieved when my ob/gyn suggested this option, and even more relieved that she wasn't going to make me wait forever to try it out. HOWEVER, there is one minor detail that makes me want to wait, it's called 10% chance of twins and 1% chance of triplets OR MORE.

Now I know there are some ladies out there who'd love to have twins, but I am not one of them. I'll take my babies one at a time, thank you very much. I just can't imagine taking care of two infants at once. Especially with absolutely zero mothering experience. So, we'll keep trying on our own, and resort to the medicine when I decide I'm desparate. It's only been three months, so I'm not there yet.
