I only found out about geritol through reading threads on this forum and I wish we could get geritol here... I love a good old wives tale! I hope it IS true!
I am cd 27 now. I have tested a couple of times through desperation but only big fat stark white negatives here. It is bumming me out a little bit... more so than on previous cycles. I guess I just thought I'd be pregnant by now. So naive!
If I do get AF we are going to plan, plan, plan to have sex at all the right times. Previously we'd set dates and what not, but not really put much effort into it and it seemed we were mostly going through the motions and not really having much fun.
After some discussion, we decided we really have to make more time for each other. Spontaneous sex at the right time is hard to come by. We're both working long hours and then add my commute on top and leaving it up to fate just isn't working.
So, if AF shows up (which I feel like it will) then I'm going to excitedly chart my cycle and we're going to book our 'us time' there and then. Lots of intimacy and not just sex or the sake of ttc, sex than is meaningful and fun and not just the means to an end.
During ttc, it seems like we can only have the above type of sex if it's just after my period has finished. Any closer to OV time and we seem to lose the magic... not anymore!!! haha
I haven't been online much, I know. I found that BnB, as much as I love knowing that I am not alone, and I love reading about other success stories, was getting me down. Symptom spotting and the constant wondering and worrying and specualting and hoping... I do enough of that by myself without hundreds of other women reminding me of all the little things I'd forgotten on purpose.
So I guess I really need my sanity right now and sometimes the boards don't help. I really do feel bummed out at the thought of another negative month... and we're so early on in our journey. Some people try for years to have a baby!! So many people I know have just had babies or are pregnant, my best friend got pregnant without planning to and my other best friend conceived her second baby the first WEEK of trying.
I can feel the pressure a little bit, despite knowing that things happen just when they are supposed to. I am torn and conflicted, heart vs. head (as always) and it doesn't help that I am at this point in my cycle, so whether there is a blastocyst waiting to implant in my uterus or not, my hormones are screwing me over emotionally... and I can feel it.
Ok, I am going to stop rambling now. Sigh. That felt good... it's nice to be able to get it all out once in a while eh?
Are all your wedding plans in place? I feel totally stressed out with the thought of ours... but our wedding rings should be with us within the week. At least I am excited for that part!
Take Care xx
