And even spelled it right this week!
So how is everyone doing this week? What's new? Anything you want to brag about? Vent about? Anything at all no matter what stage you're in in terms of TTC, pregnancy, parenting, come say hi!

Starting EOD of cycle 5 AL this week (13 total). I have everything crossed this will be the month.
Our house is STILL not done. If we're not in by summer my head might explode.

Hi ladies!
I am cd25, unknown dpo because I wasn’t doing OPKs this month due to travel. Of course every time I decide to take a break from OPKs something messed up happens with my cycle. This time I started bleeding on Saturday which would have been way too early for AF. Turns out it was just some heavy spotting which turned really light yesterday and completely stopped last night. I have never bled in between periods so this is a first. I’m a bit confused and of course no idea when AF should actually be here. Yay. Guess my OPK break was short lived!!

I'm on CD18, 6DPO. O was painful this month, with cramps, and I had a tiny bit of spotting at the weekend too.
I'm struggling with parental guilt at the moment because I know all the losses have made a difference to L's life. But if we were to stop trying now I would feel even more guilty. If we keep having losses I guess that time will come, but we're not there yet.
I'm also a bit morose because I tried to work out how many cycles it is since we started TFAS and I have no idea. It's 24 calendar months but my cycle length varies between 24 and 29 days. I was eleven weeks when we lost Gracie and nine weeks when we lost the twins. We were medically benched for three cycles. And how do you count chemical pregnancies? I've had one period since January 4th so I think this is my second cycle AL. I am unreasonably upset that I can work out how many cycles it is.

@obscurereference, I've stopped using OPKs. It was getting expensive and I found that I always knew which day it was by looking at CM. So I just do that now. Spotting is unnerving, I had some at the weekend too. Hopefully it's just one of those things for both of us.

obscureference I went without OPK's a couple of times but it drove me insane not knowing for sure when I O'd. That and I got my timing totally messed up. I didn't used to temp but started doing that after our loss. I feel like I need more control over the process for some reason...even though I know it doesn't actually give me that.

purple The only reason I know my cycle count is because I kept track of it on here while TTC. If it wasn't for that I'd have no idea...and we're only just over a year in to this process.

If I knew what the number was I'd probably just be miserable because it's so high. It's just an excuse for my AL and AMA brain to pile on more anxiety. It's been longer than we were ttc L, and at the time I thought that was neverending. |
