Your Conception

Dear Sweet Pea,

As planned, I went off the birth control pill when Daddy and I returned from our honeymoon in Cuba. I began taking my temperature every morning and recording it on a website called Fertility Friend. This website was able to keep track of my cycle length, pinpoint my ovulation date, and everything else you could possibly imagine! I recorded all physical symptoms I felt each day. For my first cycle charting, I was more concerned about seeing what my body did naturally, coming off the pill. I wasn't sure if I would even ovulate because I'd read that it can take a while to ovulate after coming off birth control.
But wouldn't you know it, I ovulated on September 22, 2010, on day 18 of my cycle. Without giving too much detail, Daddy's sperm survived in my uterus for 3 days before that egg came along for one lucky swimmer to fertilize! Little did I know, that day was the start of our journey together!
