AF continued

Every morning, I wake up from the alarm, roll around in bed for another 10 mins, and jet out of bed into the bathroom because now I'm really really late. Of course, forgetting to take my basal temperature. Ugh. It's not a big deal yet, considering I'm still on my AF, which is pretty normal to my relief. First two days were quite heavy actually, and bright red, but today has been sparse. I'll definitely need to be charting starting in the next few days. I'm very much looking forward to the next week, especially the 10th through the 16th... why? They are the 8th through 14th day of my cycle, hopefully, my ovulation days. I've got my fertility strips ready for testing.

But maybe I'm getting too excited and obsessed again? What if I don't ovulate? Am I going to be extremely bummed out again? Ugh. I need to learn to pace myself and let things happen. At the same time, I can't really fault myself for being impatient since this is going to be my third try within the year. Please, all forces of the universe listen, and let the third time be the charm!

Oh and yes, tomorrow is the first consultation with the infertility specialist. I'm still not sure what I would like to discuss. I guess we'll start with our history and let them give us some options.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AF is FINALLY HERE! It’s funny how life works. I’ve been stressing myself, dating every little occurrence in my body… all in an effort to determine when my next ovulation date will be, so I can TTC as soon as possible. Little did I know, I was totally stressing myself out and probably delaying AF more. Just last night, I finally made a conscious attempt to accept that things are out of my control and when it comes, it will come. I was ready to move on… travel again, start new projects, etc. This morning, I was in such a chipper mood. Talking about what to get for Christmas, planning this, planning that. Then completely unexpected, AF visited me at work in the morning! I’m so extremely happy and relieved it’s finally here. Being in limbo was really sad and stressful...

and best of all, NOW we can try! OMG the excitement is already out of control! whoo!

I'm going to start charting basal body temperature starting tomorrow morning.
