I'm very much a projects person, so I've been looking for things to throw myself into and use to keep busy until I start classes again at the end of January. I've found a couple things so far, one of them being having fun with TTC again! I'm gonna give that another try. Back when we were TTC Drew, we did the whole scientific bit for a few months, then took a few months off where we actively avoided fertile days, then when we decided to get back into it and not do any of the science stuff, BAM, that's when we got our BFP. That makes me feel like I shouldn't do OPKs and the like, since we were more successful when we were just having fun... But like I said, I like projects, and this can be a fun one. If I decide it's too stressful, then I can just stop 
Just ordered Pre-Seed and Pre, OPKs, and some Fertil-Aid for me. DH will be fine with a daily multivitamin. Then if I do end up actually seeing AF before we get a BFP (which is likely, but fingers crossed anyway!), I can start using my CBE Fertility Monitor -- I still have a package of test sticks from back in the day. Also have my BBT somewhere around here that I'm debating on using.
Hurry up and heal, body! It's only been 2 & 1/2 weeks but I'm ready to jump back in again! We might not make it to my four-week check-up...

Erin, after I gave birth to Ella I threw myself into TTC right away too...I understand your need for wanting a baby (even though the ones we lost can't be replaced)...It only took me 2 cycles to get pregnant, which is prett quickly!!! GL and I hope it happens for you soon!!

Missy, thank you so much
Megan, that's awesome to hear! I'm glad things went so quickly for you! Were you doing fertility dances under the full moon or something?
