%Dpo

5 dpo
Could be all in my head. And if it is well I will be super disappointed! I will live though and it just means next cycle will be the cycle.
1dpo- cramps breast tenderness
2 dpo- cramps breast tenderness
3 dpo- cramps breast tenderness fatigue
4 dpo breast tenderness, gassy and fatigue

Those are my symptoms so far. I am looking for symptoms though and if you are looking for something you are bound to find it. I also have acid reflex pretty bad so some of my cramps could be that. As for being tired progesterone is being released after I have ovulated and that too can make you sluggish. So with every symptom there is a possible explanation. So I am not getting my hopes up. It takes the average couple a year to conceive. But since I know my body should make our average about half of that. I cannot shake this feeling that I am though. I feel like I did with Ava. Strange.

I am super excited about next Saturday. This will be the day I test. I hope I have good news to share. Randy's mother has been bugging me since I had Avanelle to have her another grand child. I am glad we waited til the right time. Still do not feel 100% ready. But I do not think anyone is 100% ready for being sick.

Wish me luck. I am going to need it.

Are all these symptoms in my head? Probably. I do however feel very moody. I also feel strange I do not know how to describe it. I have googled too much information that says there is no way to tell to at least 6dpo. So I am just going to chill out and spend the day with my daughter and try not to think about it. I know it is completely normal to feel this way even if I am not pregnant. Wish me luck. 8 more days til I can test!!!!

Day one after ovulation

Today ovulation was confirmed. I feel very tired today but I think it's because I did not sleep well. I am hoping with all my heart that Labor day gives me great news. Randy and I should have conceived. So now the waiting game begins. But for now until my period comes I am going to assume I am pregnant. I am going to eat right exercise and take good care of myself. Just in case there is a little bean in there. I am pretty sure there is. I am so happy. Still feeling moody though and crampy from yesterday. I hope that will pass.

Symptoms: tiredness (did not sleep well though), ovulation like pains that come and go,and breast tenderness. I am pretty sure this was the cycle. Everything was timed perfect. Now just to wait it out.

Started confused but BD anyway!!

Wow today I started out very confused. I knew today was my peak day though so I had to get the job done. With or without a positive opk. We got Ava all tired out and we baby danced. I hope it works. I am so anxious to test in two weeks!!! I hope we get our boy! If not like I said I will be glad to have a baby with Randy again no matter what it is. So excited!!!

On another note Randy starts college up again. Taking one class again. Better than nothing. He just wants to make sure I am ok before taking on too much. I will be. I am scared I have exactly four weeks if I am pregnant for HG to show up. I am fine though I have all these people wanting to help me. I am so happy for that. I know who loves me in my life and it is the people still standing loving me for me. Well I am off to work!

CD 13 and no lh surge yet

I have a feeling this is going to be a long cycle. First off no lh surge and it is day 13. I have some cervical fluid but not as much as I would hope for for cd 13. Well oh well I still have time. Just means I will test after labor day and not on labor day. Funny thing Randy is convinced I will be pregnant before Tina's party. So I am going to test three times today and hope I get a nice positive by the end of the day. Wish me luck!

CD 12 drop temp drop!

NO today is not the day. Tomorrow hopefully is. I hope I get a positive opk tonight! I want to ovulate!! That hubby is looking way too good!! I cannot wait to be pregnant!! I want to have a baby! I want to be pregnant and feel the little kicks. I love having children!

CD 11 Emotional and hopeing about ready to O

Day 11 I found very little cm. But I was very emotional and I feel very sexy if you know what I mean. I hope tomorrow is the big day. I just want to get it over with so that I can finally have sex and maybe be pregnant. Randy and I have been holding off in hopes that it will help us conceive our boy. I want a boy more than anything in the world. I really hope we can sway so we get our wish. All negative opks today. Oh well hoping tomorrow is the day.

I went hiking with my family today. Here is the picture. Hopefully this time next year there is a little boy in the picture. Wish me luck!!!! I will update this as soon as my sway has taken place.

For now on ............

For now on no debates for me. Even when I feel passionate about it. People are ignorant and most of the time do not know things. So when I think I am going to debate someone I am going to consider the source. For instance spanking debate. Seriously no one has a leg to stand on when debating me. I have taken more parenting classes and child development classes then most people my age. I know what I am talking about and I am not going to debate someone when I know I am right. I have no need to defend myself. None!!! I am a great mother and the proof is in the pudding. You just have to look at my girls and see. Seriously why would I need to defend myself to a women that does not have it all together. Who has a dysfunctional relationship with her boyfriend? I am not going to defend myself to her. I know what I am doing is right. I know what spanking does to a child. I have done my research. I do not rely on the fact I turned out okay because I know that is not completely true. I have no problem saying that I have problems relating and I am a little antisocial. Yeah I know this. I do not think I am perfect but I am as close to perfect as you can get in the parenting area. I strive to be that everyday. I am done.

CD 9

I am feeling increasingly wet and sticky. My cervix feels softer today. I am still drinking 2-3 glasses of green tea a day. I actually woke up feeling good today. My veggie and fruit diet must be helping. I am eating a banana every day. Also potatoes and tomatoes. All high in potassium. I am waiting on my preseed to get here I hope it is here by Monday. Tomorrow i start testing for my lh surge. I am so excited and cannot wait til I am 2ww. I am very confident we will get our boy. I have the baby outfit under my pillow. We are ready!

Day 6

Well my period lasted all day yesterday. I am hoping this means delayed ovulation. I hope my luck is turning around. Let's hope it happens next Tuesday or Friday. I guess I am stressing way too much! I am trying not to but it is hard. Nothing seems to be going right. So it is day six and I have 6 to seven days before the big O assuming it occurs on time. I am still taking my vitamins and eating banana and cereal about every day. I am trying to stay away from acid foods. I am taking my acid reflex medication. So all in all I am doing what I need to do.

CD 5 done with the period TMI post

I have been reading alot lately. The more I read the more I think I have my work cut out for me. I have a very acidic environment, I have a tilted uterus, and I have to work on the day I might ovulate. Ugh!!! I am just feeling discouraged. But I have to stop. I have to get it in my head that all I can do it try. If we do not get a boy I will be just as happy with a girl. Who says it will work the first time? Might not so if things do now work out we can try again. We really can. We just have to take a step back and do what we can. I am so glad my period is about done. I hope to be done bleeding today. Then maybe stop wearing these itchy pads. I have the directions now time to calm down and put them in action next week around this time.

Today I tried the baking soda douche. I have to say I think it is easy to do and may help. I was already feeling acidic after my period. I think doing that has helped me. I hope I am able to do it before having sex on the day we conceive. I had to try it though to feel comfortable. Well off to start my day.

CD 2 My TTC Journey

Up early because I am cramping still. My legs are sore. I am so tired but cannot sleep. I am ready to stop having period and hopeful that this first month is the month. I know the more we try the more pain I will be in when my next period comes. I wish so badly I could sleep. I am going to give in and drink a little coffee. I am just too tired not to have a little. Well those are all my symtoms I am ready for the rest of my cycle to begin.

My ttc journey CD1

So it is cycle day one! I am having cramps.. My legs are killing me and I am not feeling well. I could sleep forever! The kids are up though and I have to make them breakfast. What is breakfast for me? Cereal ,banana, and a vitamins. Today I start my actual prenatal. I have been taking kids vitamins. I also had two cups of green tea. I miss coffees so much. I know I have to stop if I want a baby though. I am going to make a french silk pie today. High in calories. I heard that having a high calorie diet can help you conceive a boy. But no matter what happens I will love the baby. It would just be nice to finally have a boy. I have two little girls. I love them very much but I feel a hole in my heart for another baby.

So here is the plan. I will be on my period for five days. After that I will start testing on day 10. When I get a positive and I have the egg whites cm. Randy and I will baby dance til there is a negative. Then around September 12th I will test and see if I am pregnant. Wish me luck! I hope he can get the day off to just BD and we can find a babysitter!

Happy!!!!

I am so happy. After visiting the doctor last week , I feel ready. Today is day 21 of my current cycle. Only three days til Af. Funny thing is I think I may ovulate on the day Randy and I met. Avanelle was concieved on the day we got engaged. Would be really cool to have both of our children ( that we had together) on special days like that. Christina is special too do not get me wrong. I have no idea when she was conceived though. It could have been any day.


I can so see myself with three kids. I can see us all playing and camping in the summers. I can see me taking them to school. Making things with them. I just cannot wait. So next Thursday my new cycle begins. If we conceive that cycle we are looking at a May baby. I am so excited.
