I'm sorry Samo, really... I was looking forward to your bfp... I'm on month 1 and a half of temping, no opk's. Its pretty good, really informative but the problem is, (ask Tish!) you can't read anything off the bl'dy chart until its FINISHED i.e. until AF shows again... :PP but i'm enjoying it for the info it shows about my body! I think if you wanted to do one and not the other, I might do opk's without temping... just my two cents...
and for this cycle!

Hey there, thanks for your post in my journal! I just wanted to say re: the eating machine - seriously, watch for it! I could eat truckloads a couple days b4 af... usually feel kinda sicky during af tho and can't eat much, so thank God it levels out, or i'd be like a million pounds!
that's it, have some while I'm at it!

02/29/2008 - I fail @ temping i don't think i can do it, i completely forget all about it by the time i wake up ah well that's ok . I hope AF ends soon~ atleast the cramping stopped today. I get crazy cramps it's a pain

Poor Cheryl. I think I would be bad at remembering to temp as well. Maybe you could set a cell phone reminder as your wake up call every morning? LOL

Sorry I have not written a proper message on your journal this week. I was being all emo. Bad me!

I will laugh out loud if next month is your month when you guys are not really trying. I am sure that you will be a great mommy and you have your before you know it! I am sure of it! You can do it!!!

Aww Sarah we all have our emo days. I'm being a bit EMO now actually. i came to my journal to rant about "why not me" *sigh* the typical thoughts of "it'll never happen to me!"

Spent the day watching Discovery Health and TLC and what not...yes yes...the baby delivery shows I like to watch it, but i guess a combination of it being AF week and what not got me frustrated. Plus reading other forums with people who are just 'picking a month' to get pregnant in, as if it's that easy! "Oh i think i like to get pregnant in August this year! So that maternity leave will coincide with the end of the school year and i will have all summer to myself!" BAH! if only it was that easy! But I guess that works for some people? I wouldn't doubt it...

I'm also slowly entering the stage of envy and jealousy for the lucky ladies getting BFPs in try 1 or 2. I thought i would be one of those ladies! And here i am starting month 5 and truly wanting to avoid this month...and maybe next! Because of the season! yikes! That would mean i'd wait 7 months! GOSH TIME FLIES! Don't get me wrong though, i am THRILLED to hear of any lady getting their first month or 12th month! I enjoy watching people when they are happy and on , it brings me joy, even if i don't know them.

I guess after writing all this...I feel rather lucky being one of those who have to wait it out through this tough journey. I feel I could truly empathize with other women who are having fertility hardships. HOW DARE I feel frustrated or upset about waiting just 5 months (or 7! ) when there are women waiting longer. All the women out there that are TTC remind me that, surely I can have more patience.

God, I know how you feel about people "picking" their months to get pregnant! Makes you wanna be like , huh?

I know from experience that it is impossible to not have our emo days and stuff but remember that we are all here cheering for you and I am sure you'll have a little military brat running under foot before you know it!

03/04/2008 - I know i had wrote something the other day in here, but due to the recent events on B&B i don't remember what it was lol. anyway...on CD7 now and going to start BDing! Rather than trying for every other day or as much as possible this month :P (not that i mind!) i think i'm just going to do it when i feel like it and not think about what day it is! Maybe we'll get lucky...

we just learned that we'll be moving to the newer housing area next month, so really don't know how that will be...the stress of hauling all our stuff to a new place! It's not a far distance, but still, packing and unpacking things is a pain as it is. Not to mention the newer housing we're going into is 2 story, so i am sure we'll be moving boxes up and down! Can't wait to move, don't know what kind of effect it will have on TTC. Or if i get a BFP this month BEFORE the move, I hope i'll be up to moving and redecorating a house! I think i'll be fine though, besides, that's a month away still! I should focus on NOW and NOW i am hungry and want a sandwich!

03/05/2008 - CD 8 and we have not started BD at all! We fought last night grrrrr he smacked me with the pillow really hard and it just went down hill from there. I know it's still a bit early in the cycle anyhow...i shouldn't be ovulating for a few days. I'm feeling so negative about TTC lately! Like it will never happen! Ah well i know it will, maybe i'm feeling this way because the weather is poor outside...

Ovulation should happen in a weeks time!
