Tami's Pre-Pregnancy Journal

 
Tuesday, October 20, 1998

Well, it's not looking good for us. My temperature dropped from 98.2 to 97.8 this morning. I was going to do another test if my temps were still up but figured there wasn't any point since it dropped. I'm pretty discouraged even though one month of trying is not long at all (well it feels long to me!). I'm going to adjust my guaifenesin (Robitussin) intake next time. I was taking Duratuss 1200 ml from cycle day 8-13 to increase my cervical mucus since I never have Egg White Cervical Mucus (EWCM) BUT, I heard on a list that taking too much can dry you out and I think that's what happened to me. So next month I'm going to try taking the 2 tsp 2x day like is recommended. I guess I figured if 400 ml is good then 1200 is better. Not so much. Don't know if that hindered our pg. attempts but I can't imagine that it helped. Since I know I'm ovulating I should try to relax and hopefully it will happen. I don't know how Larry's sperm is, I wonder how early you can get a semen analysis done? I'm sure they are fine but I worry, ya know? So for now, I'm assuming I'm not pg. but if AF doesn't arrive by Friday (I'll be surprised but) I'll test. I bet she comes tomorrow which would put our next ovulation at Nov. 3, my mom's b-day. I've got to figure out a way to stop obsessing about this all day every day. I about drove myself nuts this month and the thought of doing it again next month is depressing. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I surely have enough schoolwork to do but somehow that's never a distraction for long. I'll keep you posted.
