So I haven't posted since my first post...I vow I will get better at this. Eventhough I have been on BCP since January, I feel like this is our fist cycle really trying. And being the naive person I am, I truly believe we will get pregnant this cycle...silly me. Being hopeful is one this, be convinced is just plain silly!
I like to have a plan...I plan everything!! So naturally I thought that I could "plan" trying to conceive...too bad I have no control over that!! My original "plan" was to get pregnant in April/May so that I would give birth early 2010. I've always invisioned being very pregnant at Christmastime with a big baby belly in photos. Then when the baby had it's first Christmas, he/she would already be nearly a year old and just have adorable pictures.
Well all that went out the window last cycle. My period was 3 days later than the month before and I practically convinced myself that I was pregnant...I probably gained 3 pounds in the process too! Well, AF came and obviously I wasn't pregnant. It was at that moment that I realized that I didn't care when I got pregnant, or when I was due....I just wanted to be pregnant!!
So the journey truly begins. I bought a ClearBlueEasy Fertility monitor and I am tracking my temperatures. I know that I should just relax and have fun and let things happen when they happen...but I need more control than that! I have been tracking my temperature since I got of BCP...each morning I get up at 6am (even on the weekends) and take my temperature, plug it into this online program and it makes a chart out of it. I know it seems pretty compulsive, but it allows me to see how long my cycles are, determine if and when I ovulate (after being on the pill for 10 years I had no clue!!) and it can help me figure out when my period would likely show up. This is my first cycle using the CBEFM. This thing is pretty cool...really expensive but hopefully worth all the money. It takes all the guess work out of it! I got a "high" fertility reading on Saturday and a "peak" fertility reading yesterday and today....can you figure out what we have been doing! :)
So there it is in a nutshell....I want to get pregnant, we are officially trying to make a baby!
PS. If it really does happen this cycle...my due date would be November 30! :)
