DH and I are pretty good at limiting BD'ing to when the TT's are asleep. In fact, I'm pretty sure we've never BD'd while they were awake in the same house, until recently...
I guess when the TTC bug hits you and O is near, you'll find any way to BD! Thanks to a lock on the bathroom door the mission to have a good BD schedule was accomplished this cycle! More than that, we threw a little spice into TTC with the spontaneity! :)
CD 25 and the TWW is commencing!

digression from optimism
Today, I feel entirely sure that there is no life inside of me and there is impending doom (AF) at my door. ugh. It's going to be a craptastic weekend if AF shows!
CD 40 - 11 DPO and I have no patience left!

bugger...
Having horrible cramps tonight down in my hoo-haa and lower abdomen....pretty sure AF is on her way! :( The nausea is still hanging around making itself comfy too. Seriously?! I'm so NOT a fan of all this, UNLESS of course it means there's a bun in this oven!
9 DPO - I think women who get BFP's at 9 DPO are full of it!

8 DPO - another day closer to insanity
Not only am I still naseaus, but when I got up quick tonight, I had pulling in the bottom of my abdomen that hurt. And because I like riding the crazy train, I POAS today - obviously, it was a BFN. I still don't know how I feel about this cycle....
A strong part of me says that it didn't happen - that side of me is the reason I picked up some soy isoflavones (they apparently work similar to the prescription medication clomid) at the store the other day. Then the really hopeful, optimistic side of me is saying we had perfect timing - we just have to be pregnant this cycle. That side of me is also consistently thinking of all the fun baby planning - including how to tell our family and friends when the time comes. Anyone have some good ideas?
CD 38 - if my temp doesn't go up tomorrow, I pretty sure we're out for this month!

Naseau
It blows (not quite literally)! Although I'm starting to wonder if I pulled a bulimic move if I would feel better...
I have acid reflux on a normal day, so feeling queasy isn't new to me, but in the last few days (and cycles) I've had these bouts of it I would rather do without. Today, it's a little more than I can stand. I never had morning sickness with my other pregnancies until I was around 6-8 weeks along - therefore, it's highly unlikely that's what's causing my problem. A girl can hope though...
My chart is looking fantastic post-O, but I'm staying pretty pessimistic. :( It does seem like we had great timing and I know the amount of BD'ing we got in in a 24-hour period during O, is far more than we've experienced post-TT's in a LONG while! :) So much so that we haven't since - I'm still feeling the repercussions! uff!
CD 36 today...the TWW (and long cycles) can just bite me!

Seriously?! Who knew TTC could make every logical thought disappear?!
In the 30 minute commute home from work tonight, I managed to get aboard the crazy train and convince myself I should POAS. I'm 11 DPO, if I would have stopped for a moment during the insanity, I'm sure I wouldn't have POAS and gotten the horrible feeling that comes with a BFN (even when you're expecting it). Especially considering my "plan" was to POAS Saturday...heck, I guess Thursday is the new Saturday! lol
My chart has plateaued and I still feel that we're out this month. If only all the other symptoms (breast pangs/soreness, horrid acne, acid reflux, constant peeing,...) wouldn't keep my mind playing games I could ease through this long cycle!

Mind Games
It's amazing how a person's mind can play such cruel games when they really want something! I know I'm not the only person TTC who has a mind running in circles. In fact, there's a whole message board of them over at WTE! Unfortunately, my mind seems to be taking it up a level every day that passes.
For instance, I've gone pee every 45 minutes for the last 5 hours. WTF?! I do drink quite a bit of water during the day, but I have not been drinking that much! So, here I sit, my mind is spinning like crazy with the "that could be a symptom" thoughts.
BUT for every ounce of optimism there is always pessimism...
For instance, I've had no CM (the stuff that apparently really tells you your fertility) this month and therefore I'm firmly believing we did not conceive this cycle. The lack of CM is actually making me thing there is going to be a problem TTC overall. On top of that, if I did read the darn OPK's correctly - we didn't BD nearly enough OR at the right times around O. Ugh...
Today's CD 31, 9 DPO (according to FF) and I'm going insane. AF better show her ugly face soon so we can move on to the next month! (BTW...I did POAS today - BFN...totally didn't help the mind games)
