Just as I suspected AF arrived last night. I was not surprised to
see her. I am now on cycle #3, day 2. I expect to O on the 28th which is
the day I come back from Maine so I guess we will have one attempt this
month. I'm trying to remain optimistic. I'm not charting this month, maybe
this will help ease the pressure. My next opportunity to O after the 28th
should be around Dec. 23rd. I am thinking that maybe I'll be less stressed
for that O because classes end on Dec 10th. We'll see. I'm really trying
to relax and accept that it is out of my hands. One thing I am grateful for
is that I have short, regular cycles. They run 25-26 days so at least when
I am unsuccessful there is another try just around the corner.
I decided to spend the next month trying to get in better shape.
Unfortunately I have put on about 15 pounds since the start of the semester
and I'm really feeling it. I've been concentrating on eating more healthy
and exercising and so far so good (of course it's only been since Sunday but
still). We leave on Saturday to go to NYC for my mother-in-law's wedding.
I finally found a dress and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there.
Some of them we haven't seen since our wedding 3 years ago. Then I leave on
Monday for a week in Maine. I can't wait to see all my family. Especially
my neice Lexi who is turning ONE tomorrow. Where does the time go. So
there won't be many updates in the next couple of weeks but when I get back
I should have a story of the wedding, a story of my trip to Maine, and
hopefully I will have ovulated. Thanks to those of you who signed my
guestbook with encouragement and support. It helps to know I'm not alone in
this and just think of the great online celebration we can have when (notice
I said when) I do get pregnant!
