Update after Doc Appt

Well it wasn't a very quick update, was it? Ok so I went and guess what? The nurse there is about 7 months pregnant. *Sigh* Anyway they did a urine test, BFN (no surprise there). She gave me a 2 months supply of a low dose Birth Control Pill to take. These will hopefully regulate and shorten my cycles. She said a lot of times your body will keep the same pattern and you'll ovulate. And hopefully conceive. We'll see.

Dr. Appointment

So I scheduled an appointment with my doctor for 11:30am (central) tomorrow. I an paranoid that AF is gonna come out of left field when I least expect her, now that I've made an appointment. BUT, she is a week late...I just don't know!! Update tomorrow. Nite!!

♥Happy Valentine's Day♥

Happy Valentine's Day! Can't wait to spend the evening with my sweetheart. This is our 9th Valentine's together and I still love...more actually. Still no AF, and no BFP. Just waiting.

Limbo

I feel like I am just in limbo. No AF, yet no confirmed BFP either. I tested with a First Response today and there might have been something there. But I can't be sure. I'm 3 days late and this has not happened once since we have been TTC, so I guess that gives me hope. Here it is :

And my series of OPKs. The test lines aren't getting any lighter.

I really have no clue what to think. Sigh

Confused!

So, no AF yet. I've noticed EWCM the last couple of days, which is weird because that is fertile fluid which I should not be having right now. I thought about, and the forum ladies agreed, that I could dip an OPK and see what we get.

This was the result:

 I find this curiously dark for such a late CD. Hmm IDK. I kinda gave up temping after FF snatched my CHs from my chart. So, I will temp in the morning and go from there.

I ♥ Amazon

It totally made my day to get my order from Amazon in. Yes, even on CD 38 when I'm usually bummed because AF is here. Well she's not here. And I'm about 95% sure I'm not pregnant. So, now I find myself wanting my period to hurry up and get here so I can actually have a shot and catching my next ovulation. Ahh, the roller-coaster ride that is TTC!

Here is a pic of my TTC supply box (+ the bottle of Soy that is in the bathroom)

Pampered

Have you ever had a pedicure while eating lunch and drinking champagne? I have.

The spa was fantastic! Everything was even better than it sounded in the brochure. They were so nice and everything was so luxurious. I wanna go back! I got a new haircut too:

It was just what I need and AF stayed away like a real pal!

Gearing up for Cycle # 6

Well, the last days of cycle #5 are upon us. Just waiting on AF. I've ordered 40 OPKs and 10 HPTs. I am so ready to get this show on the road! Hopefully with temping, charting and OPKs--we have a good chance this month.

There have been so many BFPs on the forum and on Facebook. It's everywhere--except here! UGH! There is nothing more annoying than someone telling a TTCer, "Oh, we weren't even trying, it just happened."

I'm so ready for the weekend!! Why? Here's my agenda.

1. A Hot Stone therapy massage, Murad facial, luxury mani-pedi and a new haircut.
2.  Dinner at a Japanese restaurant
3. Relax at hotel

Day 2-

1. Hobby Lobby♥
2. Olive Garden
3. Mall
4. Home

Yup. Pretty sweet. Plus my BFF will be there with me. Best plan ever! I am really excited to relax and enjoy myself.

The wait

So I am waiting. There are a few different kinds of waiting in the TTC game. First, you wait to O, if you are lucky enough to O. Then, if you do O, you find yourself in the 2WW, two week wait. This is the wait before you can take a HPT and get a valid answer, maybe. I'm in the 2WW neither of these. I thought I O'd, then FF took my crosshairs away, so now IDK. I'm just waiting for my period. Should be about 5 days now. I'm ready for a new cycle and to try new things.

I've made the decision to go to the doctor as soon as AF is gone. I don't know how far I will get since we still don't have insurance. I'm hoping maybe I can just find out if I am O'ing or not. Either way I am going to take Soy Isoflavones on CD 3-7 and use OPKs and maybe it will happen. Here's hoping.

Relax? Ha!

2/2/10~Cycle Day 32

I want to begin this blog by virtually punching in the face the people who tell you "Quit trying so hard and it will happen" or "Just relax and it'll happen." Ha! I'm racing my biological clock here folks. I have only 5 years until I'm 30. At 30, the risks for defects and lots of other scary things go up. Not to mention I have super long cycles. The norm is 28 days mine are around 40. Add a past history of cysts and irregularity of my period...no I'm sorry I just can't relax.

So, I have been using a charting site called Fertility Friend. It keeps track of your your cycle. You input your symptoms, basal body temperature, Ovulation Predictor test results, etc. You get a neat little graph. :) I've also joined an online forum for support and info/advice. Best group of ladies I have ever 'met'!

Anyway, just be a little more sensitive when someone is talking about their trouble conceiving, it may be a little more complicated than you think.
