Thanks. This month may (June) may be a good month for us. We'll see though. I try not to get to hyped up about it because i don't want to be super dissapointed if this next month is like all the others....

no results.

Thanks for the 'good vibes'.

You know I was really paranoid about TTC (so many reasons why we might not be able to - I just had NO idea) and I told hubby right away that we were going to try to make it FUN and let fate and God decide when the time was right for us, or even IF the time would be right. Since it was the unknown, we tried to approach it that way. I'll admit, that was really difficult as I can't tell you how long I've wanted this. I remember in February wondering if I were and realizing I wasn't and being so crestfallen. Then and there I knew I was committed to the process, but also knew I'd just drive us both crazy if I didn't stay calm and prepared.

I felt it so important not to let stress run the show, because when it does it sets you up for disappointment. It's proven that anxiety can cause problems in conception, so I made a vow that we would create a stress-free zone for ourselves. I even made a point of saying that a LOT to my hubby, so he wouldn't feel performance anxiety about it. (Making a baby can be so much pressure - for both of you!)

As far as disappointment, I reasoned with myself that if our time together was spicy and fun, that at least we'd have that memory if nothing else came of it. It may be a silly way to look at it, but I really think it helped (me especially, not sure DH was quite as invested in the efforts, but enjoyed his part, haha).

Enjoy yourself and I'll be crossing my fingers (and saying a prayer) for you.

Still no TOM, I hope it gets here soon, 10 days will be June 7th. So If no TOM by June 7th, then it's back to the doc again.

Ugh! It's like a hurry up and wait thing, isn't it? Like a watched pot that doesn't boil. But hang in there. I'm hoping and praying and though it's hard to type with my fingers crossed, I'm doing that too! Hang in there and take care (and of course keep us posted)!

Ok gals. I stopped my period, 3 day TOM, with spotting yesterday. Now am taking Clomid. I think we will start trying in a couple days and just go every other day for a couple weeks.

Ha ha...I'm not quite sure what you mean.... "getting lots of the dead in" but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Looks like you and I are almost identical in cycle. I'm on day 11. Soon Enough....wait and see.....

My temp went way down today, I am wondering if that's not a pre ovulation dip. Hubby is gone starting this afternoon until Saturday, I am hoping tomorrow isn't my O day, but we will fit another try in this afternoon hopefully.

So do you know when you ovulate?
