Well, I got my coil removed today so I'm officially fertile!

I thought I'd keep a journal for 3 reasons. Nr. 1 is for fun! Nr. 2 is so I don't drive myself insane with made up pregnancy symptoms (I've been "pregnant" probably about 170 times" ). And nr. 3 is so I can have some overview over the whole process.

I'm all set with 200 OPK's and 130 HPT's, thank you eBay

I've never used OPK's before and I ordered so many because I have extremely irregular cycles, I'd say 30-130 days. That's the reason I'm not making a ticker ..

--------------------------------

So a bit about myself:

My name is Lilja and I'm 27. I've been with DH for 7 years next march. I had one M/C in 2001, got pregnant 3 months later and then again in 2004 after ttc for 6 months. We're all a happy bunch, living in Reykjavík, Iceland.

I've had rough pregnancies and haven't really recovered from the last one, some ppl will be shocked by the news if I get pregnant again, but so be it.

--------------------------------

So let's get down to business

I'm on day 27, just waiting for to show up so I can start ttc for real. Although I may still have a chance this cycle to get pregnant because of the irregular cycles I think I'm not gonna try that hard and just give my poor li'l uterus a break from the IUD, or coil

But still, DH is pretty "interrested" in the thought that I'm fertile again so who knows what will happen tonight

Ok this is enough babbling for one post, please feel free to comment at any time in my journal.

I do apologize for any misspelling or strange choice of words, english isn't my first language but I´ll try my best

for everyone that needs it!

Your spelling is great!

Congratulations on TTC little bundle number 3. I wish you all the best! Sounds like you're all ready to go!

Ugh .. had some cramps after the IUD removal and couldn't sleep last night, also had some bleeding. I was still too lazy to get out of bed and get some painkillers, lol. Feeling better today though.

BD this morning, probably doesn't matter, I think I'm past ovulation.

Ordered a CBFM on ebay, hope it gets here soon enough for my next cycle

Been feeling a bit down, all because of this crappy drug I was on for migraine, called Topamax. I started taking it just before christmas and have had all sorts of side effects, the most recent being depression and slight paranoia. I gave up on it a week ago and I'm still feeling crappy, I hope it will clear out of my system soon. I was going to give it more time, in case the side effects would go away, but it's not safe during pregnancy anyway so I just quit.

The only good effect the drug had on me: Lost 5 kg since before christmas Hope they stay away!

CD 31 today, better show up soon! I'm not in the mood for a 100 day cycle now I tell ya.

I have a UTI that's driving me nuts! I've been taking antibiotics since last thursday and it still hasn't cleared up Do you think it'll affect my chances of TTC if I don't get rid of it soon?

I can't wait to start using my OPK's and all that, I find myself staring at the chart on fertilityfriend.com and just waiting for something to happen

A sprinkle of for your TTC journey.

I have a massive headache today .. I also had cramps this morning and thought that was coming but no, not even spotting yet.

Thankfully I didn't need to study much today, am just catching up on old episodes of ER

It's so nice not having to attend lectures at uni, I'm in a distance learning program so I can just sit at home and watch them when I want to. I have chronic SPD after my last pregnancies so I can't walk much or sit for long hours in uncomfortable uni chairs

Well today I bought some fertility tea, contains Red Clover, Lady's mantle and stinging nettle. I also called every health store in Iceland and finally found Vitex Agnus-Castus. It's in the mail, coming soon

UTI is worse, I'm calling the doctor tomorrow

Still no

Hurray for me! I worked up the courage to check my cervical position It was low I think (since I could easily reach it, don't have any experience though) and I have no idea if it was open or soft, I´ll have to compare it when I check tomorrow.

So, that means AF is due soon, right? I really hope so. CD 34 today At least I'm no way near being fertile, OPK and HPT negative today (POAS addict, I just had to try my cheap tests, they looked so lonely and dry)
