Shit, how is your OH doing? I know how horrid it is to be in your position, my hubby is allergic to a few things, but the worst ones are pollen and animals with fur. There have been quite a few times when I've woken in the middle of the night to find him in the middle of an allergy induced asthma attack... he refuses to wake me up and worry me, but jees, come on, it's important!!! I hope he's doing ok today xx
I know what you mean about clutching at straws. I have convinced myself that this will be our month. As if all I need is to make the decision and it's done. But hang in there, there is every chance that this IS your month. You bd'd loads around your fertile window (even if temps didn't show anything, you KNOW your body and your cycles). Yes, there is a real chance that you won't conceive this month, but there is also a VERY real chance that you will, so keep your chin UP! Our thoughts have a great influence over our physical body, so stay positive and stay focused on the image of that tiny balls of cells that is going to be your baby multiplying and getting ready to implant itself into the lining of your uterus.
We are women, this is what we are made for and your body KNOWS how to do this, so let go, trust in yourself and your body and thousands of years of history that says that this is real and that this WILL happen for you
Forgive my seemingly hippy positive vibes, but I truly believe in the things I write to you and I see no harm in passing on the love
My softcups arrived in the post yesterday and I'm worried about getting it wrong and losing all the sperm. Fertile week is next week and Witek has been away for most of this week. Plus I read that it's a good idea to have your man not ejaculate for three days approaching your fertile window to build up reserves. There is so much conflicting information out there, but I figure it can't hurt right? The problem then becomes practising with the soft cup during non fertile times.
I have a feeling this afternoon is going to see me and the soft cup getting to know each other in what I can only describe as a dry run... Ok, Ok, bad joke, but we have to keep the humur up during these stressful times right?
It's cd 9 for me, I am going to start opking on cd11. Last month helped us both to put things into perspective and re-evaluate our approach. Every month it seems we try and perfect our ttc approach. Maybe this month we'll find a way to make it work out great for the both of us?
We're planning to bd cd13, cd15, cd16, cd17 (twice!), cd18 and cd20. We're actually going to Florence on Friday which is cd15, so we booked a hotel rather than staying with our friend. I'm really looking forward to the trip and being in a new place usually instigates more sex than usual, so I'm thinking that the intense sex schedule will wrk out ok. If anything I feel like we can miss cd16 and one time on cd17 is we need to, but I'd really like to stick to schedule this month.
Seeing as we've never mangaged to stick to schedule before, I'll let you know if any miracles happen
Hubby is in Naples today with his Dad getting fitted for suits. They are super cheap and really good quality down there. He told me he FINALLY got a suit for the wedding
Whenever OH is away I feel really motivated to clean and cook and make everything super nice for when he gets back. I think I am hardwired to be a homemaker! So far the kitchen has been cleaned, all 9 packs of herb seeds have been sown, 4 loads of washing are drying and I am about to go out and do a food shop to make some huge batches of our favourite meals to freeze.
Ok, I know I have written an essay (I get like this when I don't have anyone to talk to at home ): ) but I was wondering about your diet? Have you changed it at all since deciding to ttc? I stopped smoking, gave up coffee, cut back on junk and alcohol in January, but recently the junk is starting to creep back in.
Lately we have been really bad about cooking in the evening, choosing convenience options or skipping dinner in favour of cooking real meals... simply due to exhaustion. We've fallen into this vicious cycle as not eating well is only making our energy levels fall even more, so I'm going to cook up a storm in the next two days and fill the freezer full of healthy, easy options for the weekdays. Also, it can't be good for ttc, our bdies aren't in optimum condition after all!
Ok, I am finally going to leave you in peace! Enjoy your weekend, I wish you beautiful weather like we have here right now, but with less mosquitoes! xx
