CD18

my body is still trying to ovulate....with no success

CD16

Well, I don't know how this month will go and if we will be lucky and get pregnant, but at least I am going to be too busy working on the new house to stress.  Maybe this will be a good thing! 

Here is my chart for this month so far, kind of a rocky slope.  At least I can say that I am almost half way through this cycle!  Getting close to ovulation time.

No miracle for us this month....

11dpo, cramps

So I will be out of town over the weekend and don't know if i will have internet access, so here is a quick update.

My temps are starting to drop which shows that I am not pregnant along with some cramping today I am not feeling positive this month.  If AF doesn't show, I will test on Monday.  That will be 16DPO (days past ovulation) and AF should be here at that time.  AWESOME how I will be starting my period on vacation with the family......i am not taking any tests with us so that I don't have the temptation.

why do I do this?

According to my chart I am due for aunt flo on 3-31, the day we are closing on our house; but how awesome would it be to close on our house AND get a BFP!!!

Why do I do this to myself?  It is like I set myself up for disappointment.  Even Chris and I talked about it last night that we doubt that we will be pregnant this cycle.  It just takes us longer than most people.  I think we are both trying to protect our hearts, but at the same time it really doesn't work.

So, my chart is showing a dotted line for ovulation on the 17th.  A dotted line means that all the fertility signs are not lining up and either it is just my body out of whack and I ovulated or I didn't ovulate and the line could possibly move later.  Actually, this happened the month we got pregnant and that is how I knew I wasn't as far along when they did the ultrasound.  Day 17 is sort of early for me, but it possible. 

So if this is a true ovulation than I am 3dpo (3 days past ovulation) and I can expect a positive pregnancy test or AF (aunt flo) around the 13th of the month.  The 2 week wait begins.

I am not feeling very positive about this month conceiving.  I am trying to prepare myself for another long wait for a positive pregnancy test.

So, the bleeding was just a brief thing, didn't even last until that evening.  I spoke with the nurse about it and she thinks that it could have been left over from my period.  I put a link to my chart on the right side of the page if you would like to look at it.  Basically, I am just floating along until the shift that shows ovulation. 

Chris wants to do the Baby Dance (BD/Sex) every other day....OF COURSE HE DOES!! LOL!!!  I am fine with that, I know that we probably wont get pregnant this month but a girl can hope!  The nurse did mention that I might not ovulate for several cycles, this is sort of disappointing but then I have to believe that what is meant to happen will happen; I have had 3 people say that line to me today and as much as I do believe it, it REALLY SUCKS and I am SICK of hearing it!

Sorry for the run-on sentences and typos, I just dont have the energy to be a creative writer today.
