20 December 2009

While out doing the final bits of Christmas shopping, Dh and i got talking... he said that he thinks it would be better for me to get pg when Morgan (our DD of 6 months) is walking so that i dont have to carry her around. I thought otherwise and said that i would rather spend my first trimester while Morgan is still crawling because once she gets walking and running around i don't think i could handle the ms and fatigue that comes with being pg and in the first trimester.

He agreed and said that if thats how i would rather have it then its up to me.

SOOO WE ARE TTCING! I'm not expecting to get pg in a flash but it would be great if things turned out that way (dont we all wish that?)

With Morgan it took us 8 months and two early mc and 2 rounds of clomid to conceive her. So the chances of this being as easy as one, two, three... are slim...

DECEMBER/JAN CYCLE (CHERI'S PREDICTION CYCLE): CD9

supplements:

***SOY THIS MONTH*** 80mg CD4-8

Met (100mg) - first month
Vit B6 (100mg) - for LPD and serious PMS
Cranberry (800mg) - lower cm ph for gender swaying
Culcium (1000mg) - lower cm ph for gender swaying
folic acid (800mcg) - pregnancy health
Increase dairy in diet - for gender sway

Stats:

nothing going on now... just basically finished AF, and SOY. I have found research on the net that says that soy can help with ovulation. I do not belive it can bring O forward but i do believe it can create healthy follies and a stronger O, this intern helps lengthen ones LP. So i am hoping this helps in my case.

I predict i will only ovulate in January.

so for now... Waiting To Ovulate.

--------------------------------------------------

DECEMBER/JAN CYCLE (CHERI'S PREDICTION CYCLE): CD12

nothing much to report, not even cramping or O-like pains or anything. I know that i ovulate really late so this cycle i am not getting excited even though i took the soy. I personally dont think that soy helps bring O sooner. If it did then there wouldn't be clomid... am i right?

Anyway, I haven't done much in the way of changing my diet. Just trying to stay away from carbs (coz of the met) and i havent had any alcohol this cycle YET!!! I must admit i will not pass on a few glasses on Xmas and New Year. I feel that if i stress out and play to hard at this whole making another baby thing, i am only going to frazzel myself out like i did with ttcing Morgan.

--------------------------------------------------

DECEMBER/JAN CYCLE (CHERI'S PREDICTION CYCLE): CD14

OMG! so i got CH today for some reason.... ***?

I'm SOOO confused!?

--------------------------------------------------

DECEMBER/JAN CYCLE (CHERI'S PREDICTION CYCLE): CD18

So FF still thinks i have ovulated! I am now apparently 7dpo. I really dont think so,my temps are WAAAy to low for that. I think i have had some activity in my ovaries the past few days so I think i might be cooking up an egg in there.

anyway, its getting close to my fertile time so we will probably start our bd every second day plan.

--------------------------------------------------

DECEMBER/JAN CYCLE (CHERI'S PREDICTION CYCLE): CD28

so its been 10 days since i have updated. In those ten days i have had cramping and what feel like cysts forming and i have been sick. im sick right now actually. i think i have a sinus infection, its horrible and i feel like crap.

Im not sure if its been the sinus or the met but the past week i have felt EXHAUSTED! i wake up and i actually cant cope. yesterday morgan went down at 6pm and so did i. i got straight into bed and i was lights out. i woke up when dh got home but he told me to stay in bed and get better so i he made dinner and the i got back into bed and i was out.

anyway, i dont know if todays big dip means that i will be Oing today and i am sick of getting my hopes up. if it happens if happens.
