So far so good...

I hope my next post isn't "what a difference a day makes" again. ha ha. I am half way through the two week wait and the temps are looking good. (Had the highest one ever since starting charting today.) I'll know something by next weekend if AF doesn't show. Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. The e-mails and calls are appreciated...and I hope to stay positive no matter what results may come over the next few days, weeks, or even possibly months. :) Your encouragement is so helpful. Thank you all!

Bring on the 2 week wait...

It's that time again...I put in a third high temp today and my fertility chart indicated ovulation should have happened 8/19. Now, I'm 3 days past ovulation, with AF to arrive 9/3. Hopefully she won't though! We shall see...say a prayer and keep everything crossed! :)

Weather update...

So it looks like we only got wind and rain from TS Fay; which is great! I was not looking forward to dealing with a hurricane. The weather is not great here today, but again, wind and rain are nothing to complain about.

I will complain, however, that my fertility website has yet to predict an O time this month. As such, we're just kinda shooting in the dark - ha ha/no pun intended - until we figure out what will happen with my temps. I got a temp spike today (at day 17 instead of 9 like last time), so I'm hoping my temp will continue to up and stay up. I guess it's back to waiting again. Fun, fun. We'll know something in another couple of weeks, I guess. I have heard about "annovulatory cycles" which means you don't O in a particular cycle. That would suck! No O, no baby. They say it generally takes 3 cycles to regulate off of BC (on average) and I'm only cycle 2, so we shall see...

It's that time again...

Well, after a fun and surprise-filled birthday weekend for Shawn...it's that time again. The olympics have started, and we are heading into prime baby-makin' time! ha ha! :) So, once again, if you try to reach us before Monday of next week and we don't answer, you'll know why! ha ha! I'll be cheering on the swimmers! ;)

Happy Birthday!

Today is Shawn's 33rd birthday! YAY! A couple of friends will be meeting us for dinner at a surprise location tonite...can't wait! Shawn gets to play golf for free tomorrow, and we'll be heading out to dinner and movie tomorrow to continue his birthday festivities in the evening. Sunday is 'family birthday lunch' so we'll be celebrating Shawn's birthday with the fam and extending the fun for his 'birthday weekend'! lol! Happy Birthday baby! *MuaH*

Oh well, on to cycle #2...

Unfortunately, AF showed again so we are out this cycle. (She arrived late last night 8/4 instead of the predicted 8/9.) We should be able to try again in another couple of weeks. I didn't expect to be as bummed out about this as I am...but in the big picture, it's not worth stressing. Say a prayer and keep your fingers crossed. We shall see...

I can wait 5 days...

It's amazing that many women cannot patiently wait out their two-week wait for testing to see if they are pregnant. The information we are given says that the longer past ovulation you wait to test, the better chance you'll see a positive result if you are pregnant. In actuality, it's better to wait to test until after your AF is late. So that is what I'm choosing to do. According to my chart, AF should arrive 8/9 if we didn't get pregnant this cycle. I will hold out to test until the morning of 8/10 if AF is a no-show. However, if AF shows, we are out this cycle and will go on to the next. Currently my charts show high temps (very high temps for 8 days past ovulation which is really good) but the past two mornings the temps have gone down, but not below my coverline (average temp) so we're not out until we see AF. It would be a nice birthday (8/8/08) present for Shawn if AF doesn't show and we get a positive HPT (home pregnancy test) result on 8/10. We shall see...
