CD 16

Temp dip today.  Yesterday it was 97.5, and this morning it was 97.1.  I did have some EWCM this afternoon.  I thought that the EWCM normally came before the big temp dip? Is that the normal pattern?  Maybe my temp will still stay low for 3 more days.  3 more days until HD is home! :)

CD 15 - NO EWCM

Well I have had a rough last couple of days.  Emotions are all over the place.  It started 2 days ago.  I totally bombed my exam, then work was crazy busy, then freaked out on DH for something stupid.  My temp went up yesterday (CD 14) then back down a bit this morning.  Still no EWCM though.  No ovulation pain yet either.  I went back and checked my last 2 cycles, and I always had EWCM 2 days before ovulation.  So I am thinking this is a good sign.  If I start to get EWCM even tomorrow, it usually lasts 2 days, then 2 days after that I will ovulate, which will work out fine.

DH home in 4 more days :)

CD 13 - No Ovulation yet :)

Today is CD 13, and took my temp this morning still low (around 97.5) which is normal for me before ovulation. CM is now creamy, but still not EWCM which is a great sign.  After I put in my temp, FF moved my predicted fertile and ovulation days back a few days! :)  May 3 (day DH is home) is now a part of the predicted ovulation days! I am so excited.  I am going to try not to stress out the next few days to screw it up at all.  I have to write an exam in about 2 hours that I have not studied for yet, so I might get stressed a little when I write the test, lol.

Surprise from my husband :)

Received a special delivery in my office today. DH sent flowers with a note saying "I love you and I miss you. See you soon" it made my day.

CD 11 - TTC... more like WTT

So DH and I work at the same company and today I noticed that he is due to go back to work May 28.  My fertile days are usually around the first of every month (CD 17).  I did get confirmation that he will be home next week on May 3 so I will most likely miss ovulation this cycle as well as next.  TTC does not seem to be going our way, is this a sign that we should not be TTC? We will still try as much as possible when he is home, but I feel like I am Waiting To Try (conceive) more than Trying To Conceive.  Due to the time change, I have not had a chance to talk to DH about the schedule, but i just needed to vent a little.

CD 10

Today is CD 10, and still no EWCM :) I am not using any OPK's this month, since it would kind of be a waste.  I am taking my temp every other day this cycle, but starting around CD 13 I will take my temp everyday.  Temping has been helpful the last 2 cycles so I will just use that to confirm ovulation and see how it goes.  Even if I ovulate on CD 18, and DH is only back on CD 19, is it even possible to get pregnant after the temp dip?  I also did not order any more IC pregnancy tests, so I wont be testing until at least 12 DPO as I will have to use FRER.  In February, I ordered 10 or 15 IC HPT, and used them all the first cycle! lol Won't do that again.  Finding IC online that will ship to Canada is not easy.  If anyone finds a good site, please let me know.  Well, time to get back to eating my bowl of ice cream lol.  I can't wait to be pregnant so that I can eat ice cream whenever I want and not feel guilty haha :)

CD7

Today is CD 7, DH is due home hopefully in 8-9 days.  That would make him here for CD 16ish and I am due to ovulate CD 14-16.  Cutting it close that's for sure.  As soon as his plane lands I will be speeding home to BD! lol  Would be nice if we can catch the egg this cycle.  I am really hoping that ovulation is delayed tis month by 1 or 2 days.  I wanted to finish my school work before I got pregnant, and I only have 5 courses left and I am done.  So I am excited about that.  Would be nice to enjoy a whole year off for maternity leave and not have to worry about school so I can focus on the baby.  I am still taking the prenatal pills, no longer feel sick all the time. I think that my body just had to get used to them.  The blue veins are still all over the place all the time.  Thats my only update, it has been a pretty boring last few months.

CD 1 - How can I delay O

So today is CD 1, and according to my cycle trend, i should be ovulating on April 30.  DH was scheduled to be back home on April 28, which would have worked out perfectly, but now he has been delayed a few days and wont be home until May 3 or 4.  Is there any natural ways to delay ovulation?  It just seems not fair to miss ovulation by only 1 day :(  DH will leave again for work around middle  to end of June, so  we can try next cycle i guess, but if that doesn't work then we wait until September.  The wait in between is just so long.

On another note, I started a new workout routine today.  The Insanity Workout, it is a DVD collection.  I might start a blog about how it goes and to keep track to help pass time from TTC.  I also want to take a picture of myself and to update so that I can see the changes and use it as motivation to keep workout out. How much can I workout when I do get pregnant?

So Nauseous :(

For the past week I have been nauseous all day.  Part of me wants to stop taking the prenatal vitamins, as I am pretty sure that is what is causing it.  Should I try to take a different brand? Or just stick with this one to let my body adjust.  If this is a preview of what pregnancy will be like for me, it will be a long 9 months.  But it will be worth all the pain.

Sharp Pains

So I am pretty sure that I am ovulating now lol.  I have been having the sharpest pains in my pelvic area for about 5 minutes.  I thin I recall having this same feeling last month when FF said I ovulated as well.  This pain sucks, I am in pain just sitting here on the couch as I type this.  I want to go have a very hot bath, but I have been reading that a very hot bath (that I usually have) is not all that great for my body.  Maybe I will go try a tea.
