the next cycle

I hope this comes across correctly

Do you always feel a sense of control when, after ovulation and after you figure out you're not pregnant this cycle, AF arrives??? I sure do. I feel that relief of okay, next cycle, let's get on it! Take control...take your temp....check your CM....track track track....we can do this! I still feel the pain of not getting pregnant the past cycle, but now at least we can finally get back to business for this cycle!

That's how I feel today. I'm focusing on the fact that in 6-7 days my DH and I will be able to get down to business and hopefully conceive this time around.

On a different note, my mom is driving me crazy! I broke down and told her that DH and I are TTC and she comes back with "But if you get pregnant now, you'll miss sisters graduation and you won't be able to go camping with the family!" I wanted to say to her, Yes, but you'll have a grandchild....what more can I give you!?" I love my to death and we are finally at a place where we understand each other and get along fairly well. We are more like friends now and it's great, but sometimes, I just can't believe her! She was the one that told me that no matter when you get pregnant there will always be something you're going to miss. Or if you wait for the 'perfect' time, you'll never have kids. Such double standards! Either one or the other, not both. I'm not too frustrated about it, in fact I laughed about it with a girlfriend today, but just needed to get it out there!

What do you think would be a good response to my mother?

impatient

That's the word I feel right now. There are a LOT of things going on in my life right now that give me this sense of impatience. I could give a list but that would be boring. Oh who am I kidding...that's what blogging is for right? :)

I want to find the 'perfect' house.

I want to pay off the last credit card we owe on

I want to pay off the back-pay child support we owe for my husbands first child (15 yrs old)

I want to give my two cats away to loving families.

I want to be pregnant now!!!!

The last one is the most prominent in my mind. Obviously! Once you make the choice to take that step, it's all downhill. Your emotions kick in, your mind is totally taken over with thoughts of babies and anything to do with babies! I've been reading books, I've been investing every spare opportunity to read blogs, websites, news, stats, anything to get a little bit more information about fertility/pregnancy/vitamins/food/exercise. I want so desperately to be in top condition when my body decides to make the precious little one that we are so waiting for! I've heard to take folic acid. I've heard to tip your pelvis up after sex. I've heard to have sex every other day, every day, twice a day. I've heard so many things that I'm confused as of what to do or not to do. As mentioned before, my husband has a child so I know he's fertile. Does that mean we can/should have sex every night?

I'm so new to the charting thing that I don't know what I'm looking for in tracking my O date. I'm having what I think is ovulatory pain. I've not had it in two years due to the BC i was on, so that's why I say I think. It's such a great feeling to have to know that it's coming...the time is coming. So hubby and I are starting to try again this month. :) I'll see if I can figure this whole thing out before it's too late this month. Wish me luck!!

ttc for one month

I'm reminded of the song lyrics "first cut is the deepest." I know it's only been one month, but for some reason I feel blue! I just started my period today and couldn't help but feel that twinge of heart ache. The funny thing is, I knew it didn't happen, my temp has been dropping the last few days and I knew I would start today. It still doesn't make it any easier!

I'm new to the charting world. A wonderful friend loaned me her TCOYF book when she found out that my husband and I had started ttc. Being new, I have many questions. What does AF mean? I've tried so hard to figure it out. I've been on Nuvaring for a little more than a year. Is there anyone else out there that has used Nuvaring and is now ttc? What are you struggles? How long did it take to ovulate again? Any success stories for Nuvaring users?

I know for sure my DH is fertile; he has a son from his previous marriage. I've always wondered if I am. I don't have any reason to doubt that I am, just that once in a while fleeting thought that enters my mind.
