I had pretty good O symptoms for a few days, but it just doesn't feel like it's going to happen anymore. I'm pretty frustrated. Why did I ever decide that the pill was a good idea? Why couldn't have just continued with condoms like we were and left my body alone?
Argh.
Part of me is worried that if I don't O this month, will I next month? How long will it go on? *sigh*
I think the anxiety of pregnancy is creeping up on me, and I'm not even pregnant yet! Honestly, I sort of wish we'd had another surprise. I didn't have any of this anticipatory crap with Patrick. I was just pregnant and had to deal with that. And with Erin....I think I was just a zombie through TTC and pregnancy with her.
Ugh, I feel like my nerves should be getting better not worse with time! I'm starting to dream about stuff happening to my kids (like them both disappearing while we're at Walmart sort of thing).
I just need to not think about it.

No, I'm not, I've never needed to before.
I always have had really strong O symptoms, lots of ewcm, bad cramps, etc. Last month I didn't even ovulate. This month just isn't feeling like normal either.
Maybe last month just has shaken me up, I don't know.

You're a good mommy, a concerned mommy, and I think some of it is the worries of getting pregnant and something happening to that little one.... not directly to Patrick or Erin. If that makes sense. Think that sorta along the lines of what you were saying.
It's not easy journey, but it may take this cycle to normalize your body or WHO KNOWS you just might end up pregnant right away without even really realizing it because what were tell tale signs of ovulation for you at one time might not be apparent now. So don't stress it (if that's possible LOL)  Your chances at conceiving are excellent Brittanie... but don't let this discourage you. As much as you may want it to happen right now this first cycle, it might not but don't count yourself out for next month! Who know's what's going to happen and when, shooooot we know it isn't us "in the know" or privey to that knowledge  Lord help us if we were, we'd want time machines!!!!

Ah Celena, thanks. I got a bunch of ewcm this morning (though, not as much as I'm used to, but much more than I have had), and it kind of made me laugh. All I had to do was complain I guess.
I'm going on day 2 of serious nausea. Pregochondria is hitting me hard and I have no idea if I've even ovulated yet! lol

I hope you've ovulated hun. TTC shouldn't be so stressful but it's such a short window it's hard not to. I know what you mean though about trying not to think about it.
I still don't know what is going on with me. I've had all the symptoms but no temp spike. It may be my thermometer but it's still stressing me.

Pamela, I'm drowning in ewcm this morning. Going just by that I would say I'm Oing today (cd 14 even!), but I'm not having much by way of O pain and I usually hurt a lot. We'll see what my chart does I guess.

LOL, well, he's at work so I don't think that would be very appropriate. =Ţ
We did last night but probably won't tonight. He donates plasma on Tuesdays and Thursdays (it's his play money. He saved up to buy his expensive phone, and now he's saving up to build a new computer) and so it's just not a good time to try to get more fluids from him. lol I'll probably wake him up early tomorrow morning.
Still no real O pain, though I am getting a dull ache....

I'm beginning to think I won't O this month either.
