Waiting... and waiting... and waiting.... it was driving me INSANE!! I called the lab again to make sure the test wasn't lost. "That test isn't done in-house, it is sent out for processing. So it is pending. You should hear within 5 days." Five days? Oh My! I felt like she just told me 5 years! But the good news was the test was done and I just had to wait..... waiting.... that thing I seem to be so good at..... NOT!!

Then I get an email.... your test results are in. Here we go again. Am I ready for this? Is it going to be "good" news. Regardless I need to know so I click on the email, open the link, close my eyes briefly and then open them. WOO HOO!!! The test confirmed (well not 100%) that ovulation had taken place this month. My body was doing what it needed to be going.... it was obeying. Of course the previous test that showed negative for pregnancy still stuck in my head. BUT I'm still holding onto hope that the sperm and egg wanted to meet this time and that it is just too early. Let's just hope "something" is going on in that uterus of mine.

So I leave you with a Poem for Hope A Hong Kong Proverb
As long as we have hope,
we have direction, the energy to move,
and the map to move by.
We have a hundred alternatives,
a thousand paths and infinity of dreams.
Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go;
Hopeless, we are lost forever.

Hope.... I still have it :-)
