Charting is so amazing Diddy. I mean it's so empowering to know every detail of what's going on. It's so accurate that I even was able to tell the doctor my exact ovulation day and my due date with my first pregnancy, better than what the ultrasound could detect!
I would like to hope that the cramps I had day before yesterday, yesterday, and today are from the fertilized egg trying to burrow and nestle itself into my uterus walls... I have heard if you practice visualization and imagery it does help do something, but then again maybe it's all mumbo jumbo. I read this really great book along time ago called Conquering Infertility (yellow paperback book). You can find it on Amazon. The techniques in the book really helped me relax and accept of a lot of things, and only a quarter way into reading it, I conceived my first child. I'd recommend it for that reason. Anything that I can suggest to help you all and help others with this struggle to conceive... I know how it feels because my first was never easy to conceive, and at that time I was only 26 years old, and I was really feeling horrible that I was having the problems I was having at such a young age... but I blame it on the years of birth control I had been on halting ovulation completely, and I had been annovulatory. Clomid fixed me up and as soon as I started O'ing, It took only 5 cycles of true trying (while ovulating) that I conceived. I'd say that was a fair amount of short time it took if I consider my body didn't even work properly beforehand. It took me about 10 cycles of charting to realize I was annovulatory and going through heavy withdrawal from the birth control pill and nuva ring. Believe it or not, I even had bought this one book called "Cooking to Conceive" and made all kinds of meals and power smoothies to help make me more fertile. I had really wanted a boy too, so I went on this diet that was supposed to change the acidity of my vagina to favor the survival of the boy-making sperm lol. Oh man, I did so many different things!! I even followed all the wives tales of crazy things to do to make a boy. BUt anyways, it all seemed to work. I even made my partner drink soda and coffee and wear socks and point his head north, and we BD on a quarter moon. LOL!!
This time around I honestly have no problems except that I'm 10 lbs underweight and have a lot of stress going on with taking care of my 3 yr old 24/7 as well as just some personal emotional ordeal going on that's been sitting heavy with me for a while which I'm trying to do my best to get through. Anyways, I think it's just all the timing that has to correlate for me right now in order to achieve success. This is the first chart I've had to look this hopeful and this darn good. I am going to be at true war with my body and be pretty furious and hurt if this is a joke my body is playing with this chart looking like this! It's too good to be true really... If I do get my BFP from this cycle girls.... my barely used tube of Preseed is up for grabs!!! I will ship it out to one of you that needs it, maybe just throw me down some shipping money
