36.24ºC & first OPK today's the first OPK and i got a
so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
oh ya, yesterday and the two days before i had ab pains...and today i've had ab pains AND cramps that felt like period cramps...twice today. i just had my period on Dec 21. so all that worries me. i hope there's nothing wrong with me down there! i could just be anxious about my job. decisions, decisions.
what else? anything else?...nothing else.

i just want to plan ;oP Yay, it's 2008! i feel like all i want to do is plan and this is the closest thing i can do so here i am again! friday is my first day using an OPK so hopefully all goes well... (i don't mean the peeing-on-a-stick part. i mean the whole timing thing ) I really look forward to that day when i can be pregnant and really start the fun part of the journey (not that all the "baby dancing" isn't fun!). we've been trying since July 25 (i think that's the date!) so i guess it's been...6 months now. it's so weird cuz i thought it would have happened by now. it makes me sad, of course, but i think i'm mostly over the whole shock of "why is it so easy for everyone else?"... i think i need to relax more. and i do feel more relaxed this month for sure. i also think my period is maybe just starting to become normal now. last cycle was only 32 days long (as opposed to 38 the 2 cycles before that, and 41 before that!) so that's good.
the two main things that had me stressed...
• what to eat/drink (no caffeine, no feta, no deli meats...well what CAN i eat?!)
• feeling like i've put pressure on ourselves when we "baby danced" every other day and feeling like i'm making DH do it when he really wasn't feeling like it (even though he denies that, he's so cute ;)
so now i'm eating what i want again for the most part...other than feta & deli meats, and as of yesterday, i've stopped the chai lattés - not that i drink a lot of them, but i did get a container for christmas. AND for some reason DH and i have been doing the BD every other night anyway and it's not cuz i said "hey, we should..." or "it's important today"... If i get that smiley face on the OPK though, i will obviously have to point out that "today's the day." My deal is, if i get the smiley, and we do everything accordingly, and nothing works out this cycle (no BFP), then i'm either going to just "forget" trying the next cycle or two and THEN i'm heading to my doc and i think DH will go to his too... just to see what's going on (or not going on!). It's just hard, cuz like i said, i love planning and that's all i want to do right now! haha.
anyway, more from me later probably. it's supper time.
HAPPY '08 (and HAPPY 50th B-DAY to my MOM!)
