You remember how I said we are going to be relaxed for these next few cycles? I decided this, letting James know I might not use my opks, I wasn't going to temp. What I didn't tell him was we could have relaxed sex, no more schedules. SO I haven't been on him about this. But he hasn't forgotten. It's like suddenly eating healthier has made baby making more fun for him. I am ok with just having sex whenever not thinking about ovulation this month. Yet, he says things to me like, "We are on the every other day schedule right now, right?" When I giggle inside at this comment, I let him know that we don't have to be, his response "Well, when do you ovulate?" I tell him approximately when I should ovulate. And do not push for the "scheduled" sex. But it seems that it is on his itinerary. And I'm okay with it, because it's not me pushing for it to happen, because we are ttc. Instead, he is the initiator this cycle. And I'm loving it! All I have to be is a little book keeper, keeping in mind what cycle day I am on, writing down when sex occurs, and contemplating doing opks within next few days.
We still are using pre-seed, now that I know his swimmers can live in pretty harsh environments. I figure, maybe they can survive for more days than I thought because of my little CM. Sorry if this is TMI for those that know me in real life. I'm just being honest, about all things trying to conceive. Hopefully you won't have to walk down this road (and if that happens, hopefully I won't be too jealous...I will love you regardless!), but if you do, I will be all ears for every little nitty gritty detail. Cervical mucus and all. =)
As for all things TTC, I keep looking at the calendar and thinking about how far I would be next year if we got pregnant in which month. And how cute (or whale-ish) I would be at my best friends wedding. These are things that make me want to start clomid now, and pray that I get pregnant within the first few cycles.
Anyways, time to find motivation for house work, phone calls, and life in general.
Have a blessed day,
♥ Jess
Often things strike my heart and want to come bursting forth. They come spilling out onto the page, or computer screen. With ink filling pages or my fingers flying across the keyboard, my mind going a million miles a minute, and my heart crying out to be heard. Here is where you’ll find those things, my little notes on life.
Little Bit About Me
- Jess
- First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.
grrr, i just posted such a nice comment and then the reset :( let me try to remember....
ReplyDeleteIt makes it so much more fun when husbands let you know that they care about your cycle as much as you do, it's so reassuring to know you are not "alone" on this crazy journey!!
After my appointment yesterday I started to look at the calender and see when I could be pregnant/due...I don't want to get my hopes up, but it's so hard to resist!! We already started talking about baby names again!!! EEEK! We are too excited!
