Today was an okay day. Work was busy, just fine. Went out to Panera alone with a book for lunch. It was nice to get away & just chill. It began turning around my day. Guess what made my day awesome?! Getting this in the mail:
Along with Netflix blueray of shows 7 & 8 of season 1 of TrueBlood!
I was actually thinking over the weekend I needed to email the blogger where I won Sophie from to check on it. It’s on the end table for now but will soon go into the baby stash office closet! 🙂
I’m charting again this new cycle (#5) along with using OPKs. I’m drinking pomegrante juice like crazy because its supposed to help with post ovulation implantation. I’ve also read online that vitimin B6 will help with progestrone levels. I’m still not sure what has the most of that but did see that bananas and veggies were supposed to have a lot of B6. Guess we’ll see…
For my coupon loving TTC friends, coupons.com has a coupon this week for $3 off any e.p.t product.
HPTs (home pregnancy tests) are more expensive than I’d imagined. Until we started TTC, I’d never noticed how much they were or bought one before. Now I’ve gotten a few pretty cheap ones from the dollar store & the walmart brand, I will be picking up a few e.p.t ones with this coupon. I figured I’d test first with the cheap ones then hope to confirm a BFP (big fat positive) with a name brand one. I promise to let ya’ll know when that happens!
FYI, I was able to print it a couple of times at work and now a few times here at home.
The below is a TTC post. If you don’t care to read TMI about our journey trying to get pregnant stop here.
Here’s a copy of last cycle’s chart. I felt like it was all over the place~ fertility friend changed my O date three different times! Way to confuse a couple!! But like last month, FF decided I O’d on day 15 then had a 9 day LP.
After a couple days of spotting I was going back & forth. Is this the much discussed but supposedly rare implantation spotting??!! Or pre-period spotting?!! We decided for me to POAS (pee on a stick) (well actually in a cup then stick dipped in) Friday morning. We inspected from all angles but it was definitely a BFN (big fat negative).
After kinda stressing all month over analyzing every little thing, it was nice to know one way or another when I got my period & thus began cycle 4 over the weekend. It was also nice to be able to have a few drinks on the beach too! We’re feeling confident that this next cycle will be the one!
I’m buying into the wives tales~ I bought Green tea (supposed to help build up CM), Pre-Seed (has worked for a lot of women on the Trying To Get Pregnant Bump boards), Minute Maids Blueberry Pomegranate juice (supposed to help lining & implantation). I ate pineapple core (also supposed to help with implantation) last week. I love pineapples so I’ll try that one again! Guess we’ll see if they help. 😛
This is a post about our journey trying to conceive, if you don’t wanna hear/see TMI info, stop reading now.
So this month we decided we’d really go for it TTC wise. I felt pretty confident that I could read my temps and where things were heading on the chart. Still not SUPER confident about CM, but felt like I knew what the EWCM looked like now that I’ve been paying attention verses being not so sure last month.
You can view my chart as I update it by clicking here. I plan to keep taking it until AF or I get a BFP/BFN. But here’s what it looks like so far this cycle. 
I think we timed baby making pretty well… Guess we’ll see if it worked in about a week! I plan to POAS next Thurs/Fri before we go down to the beach for the weekend. If its positive, we might have to spill the beans because my family will know first time I turn down a bud light lime or margarita or fresh strawberry daquari!!!
