Egggirl and the Egg: 2011 TTC Journal

I'm feeling sad today because it looks like my period is starting. I am so sad. And mad and frustrated.

With DH's ambivalence about having a baby I'm finding it hard to talk to him about what we need to do to try harder, especially since some of it - a lot of it - has to do with things that might make him feel like less of a man.

Also I was really hoping I'd get my bfp tomorrow, being B's birthday. That would be so special.

Oh I am just exhausted. I think I'm exhausted from the emotional roller coaster I've been on this week, now that I'm five days late according to my recent cycles. All the constant analysis and obsessing cannot help my energy level, either. It sucks that whenever I find out I'm not pg I want to stuff my face, which is not going to help my fertility.

Ugh, I'm at a day and a half of minor spotting now. This is so aggravating.

My period is nearly over for this month and I'm feeling much more relaxed. After AF began in earnest it took about a day to start feeling better and planning for this next month. I also talked with A about the Instead cups and making time for more BD during my fertile days. It went pretty well. I have ordered the cups and hopefully they will arrive before the fertile period begins.

I was so exhausted over the weekend, I think because of the intensity of the week while I waited and obsessed over every twinge in my body. To think, when I'm finally pregnant I'll be even more obsessive about the twinges!

I have a dr appt on the 17th for my regular annual physical, and I'll talk with her then about ttc, and also about baby aspirin and anything else we should or should not be doing. Having that appt set is making me feel better, too.

Yay, the cups arrived!

Hmph. CBFM says High today, but it's only CD7. Does this mean another short cycle? Or 7 days of sex in a row? I was planning to start the Sperm Meets Egg plan tomorrow with CD8. Ohh, well-laid plans...
