What's the first thing anyone that hasn't really tried to get pregnant tell you when you tell them you're trying? The classic line: "Just relax and you'll get pregnant". I wish it was that easy. If it was I would be pregnant already. I will admit that relaxing is hard when you want something so bad.
As a long shot, our last chance to chill cycle, this month was supposed to be a "just relax and get pregnant" month. Meaning no charting BBT, no cervical fluid, no cervical position, no supplements, no nothing. Just Prenatal vitamins and OPK's paired with carefree intercourse. Sounds simple right? Not. It's been impossible to completely relax after using FAM for the past year. Cervical fluid is nearly impossible to ignore and it's your primary fertility sign.
Charting for the past year told me a lot about my body and gave me a chance to see my cycle bouncing back from hormonal pills. However, charting also caused me a lot of stress. I would analyze my temperatures looking for clues of implantation and triphasic patterns. My goal this cycle was to get away from nit picking temperatures and obsessing over symptoms because that is where the craziness comes from. So far I've nixed the temperature part because I'm not doing BBT, but symptoms are difficult to pass off.
By this point, I'm nearly positive I know when I ovulate.
So you can guess that, yes, I've gotten the fertile cervical goop, a positive pee-stick, and in a day or two I'll be in the two week wait. I'm already counting down the days to testing.
So was my plan a bust or what?
Praying for those two pink lines.
