I'm an oddball, I'm sure...but having AF doesn't really depress me. My chart usually gives me a pretty good idea that I'm not pregnant long before AF shows, and my temp usually drops the day before AF. So by the time she arrives, I've already dealt with all my disappointment and frustration. It's kinda a relief to just be on with a new cycle.
This is actually the only time during my cycle that I can actually relax. I don't have to worry that I'm going to miss my O day, or obsess about what my body/temps are doing during the TWW. I don't have to feel bad about having a cup of coffee or worry about taking an ibuprofen or a hot relaxing bath.
I have a gift certificate for a 1/2 hour massage that DH gave me for our anniversary
. I think I'm going to go get that done in the next couple of weeks.
I KNOW I won't be relaxed from O time on no matter what I do, so I might as well enjoy this calm before the storm
.
Oh, I have 5 OPKs left from last cycle and I may use them if I think I'm getting close to Oing...but I think we're just gonna BD every other day this cycle. Pretty sure getting 5 positives in a row last cycle did more to hurt than help our timing.
