TTC #3

kruff79 · #1 October 20th, 2008, 08:43 PM

Okay, so I stopped BC 1 cycle ago. Hubby and I made a half hearted attempt this month, but weren't surprised when AF showed up last Thurs. I already have 2 and both were BC surprises. I had a great Dr with #2 and he told me I was on the wrong BC (I had already figured that one out.) My youngest is 8yrs old now and we're ready for one more. The last child will make 4 between us, my hubby has one and I have 2. We're hoping for 1 together. I am charting this month so we'll see what happens. Can anyone suggest a reliable O test that is on the low side price wise? I hate charting! I always forget to temp in the morning. Baby dust to all!

AF stopped yesterday, so I started checking CP and CM today, hopefully I will have a good idea of my cycle in a couple months. With both of my first kids not being planned I have no idea when I O. I really hope this baby will not keep us waiting too long. My step-daughter came for a visit durring her Fall Break and was so disappointed when I started reaching for the midol. She's 13, and has the cutest cranky face when she wants to be mad about something but knows it won't help. She told me she was "tired of waiting already." I laughed at her, but I know if it takes us a while to concieve I'll be feeling the same way! Baby dust for everyone!

I think my husband was kidnapped and replaced by a pod person! I am charting because I am almost 30 and he is 35 so I want to maximize our chances, and he actually wants to help! He started asking a bunch of questions about BBT, CM and CP today. I knew he was excited about trying, but he totally blew me away. He works the 3-midnight shift so he's still sleeping when I wake up and temp in the morning, but he wants to know how my CP changes and how it should feel, even how the CM should look and feel. I am stuck somewhere between shock and awe. He is normally very, I don't know, almost distant about everything woman. He is one of the men who will not even go into the store for pads for me. Did anyone else see such a drastic change in their hubby? Although I suppose I should just be grateful that he wants to be this involved, it just took me off guard today.

AARRGGHH! I'm glad DH and I decided not to try this month, he's military and he'll be working 6pm to 6am from tomorrow to NEXT friday. I should be Oing Wed or Thurs so it would make BDing really difficult. Oh well, next month it is then.

I am so bored this month. Since DH and I decided not to try this month I feel like I am wasting time. I'm waiting for FF to give me crosshairs but I'm not going to do anything about it. Can someone blink a couple times, wiggle their nose and make it next month for me? I already tried and it didn't work... I wonder why?... I don't know, I know it's ridiculous, one month is not that long and it certainly isn't going to kill me. This roller coaster ride i just starting, and I think I'm going to go crazy. I hope I get used to this.

So at 29 yrs old I finally decided what I want to be when I grow up. It is such a liberating feeling. I went to the college today and as long as my GI Bill (from the military) kicks in I will start taking classes on the 24th of this month! I'm going to be a Certified Nurse Midwife. I have to start by getting the basic nursing courses out of the war first, then go for my RN liscence. After that I just have to take the midwifery courses. All in all it should take me less than 5 years. 20 months for the basic course, 17 for the RN and 16-18 for the midwifery course. I am so excited, it's all falling into place perfectly, like it could only do when its meant to be.

So I started school last week, I only have sociology this module, but am loving it so far! We had an uneventful Thanksgiving dinner, the kids met some new friends which is good being military. After 2 months I finally feel like we have moved into our house, the last box is unpacked and everything is in its place! I'm in the ttw, depending on which chart I go by (FF or my other one) I am 3-4 DPO. And thank you for school to keep occupied durring the week. We put up our tree yesterday, its so nice to be in an area that has winter again. After 10 years of living in NC and then VA it never really felt like the holiday season. Anyway I don't think I'll be able to wait untill AF to test so I'll be testing in a week or so.

So I'm 7 DPO, and all I have to say is OWWW! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but this would be the time to implant. It's not a crampy feeling it's in one small spot and oww.
