So, we're almost in the middle of the third month. It's about time to start the baby dancing again. Or at least the baby dancing that could lead to a baby... hopefully! I'm trying really hard to stay positive. But I'm almost not sure if I should. Mainly because I don't want to get my hopes up.
The first month we tried really hard. I was off for the summer and completely obsessed over it. The second month, I hardly had time to think about it. This month, I'm back to trying hard again. real hard. I even started temping each morning. I figured this would help to make sure I'm ovulating, and if something is wrong, I would at least have charts as evidence. : )
I've noticed my temp is pretty low. It's been around 96.7 and 97.0 the past few days. This would be days 5-10. When I was looking at other charts, this seemed low. Most charts were about a degree higher at the beginning of their cycle. I'm hoping that it will get higher. I also bought some preseed. I really wasn't sure if we needed it. I don't seem to have issues in this area. But I figured it couldn't hurt... I like all the BFP stories on the website after the first month! Of course I'm also taking prenatal vitamins, using OPKs, and primrose oil. I have been praying like crazy. I've never prayed so hard in my life. I mainly pray for faith and patience.
I'm open for any suggestions here. really... anything. Just don't tell me I'm trying too hard. I don't want to hear just relax and let it happen. I tried that last month. I'm over that. I'm learning more towards close your eyes, jump backwards three times, while whistling... something along those lines. At least for this month. : ) I'm willing to try anything!
Checking the temp never worked for me, but the ovulation test did! You can purchase them from amazon with 30 ovulation tests and 10 pregnancy tests for less than $15! So worth it! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat's the exact package I bought! I love them. : )
DeleteMy pre-o temps are always in the 96s and my post-o temps are in the 97s so I think your temps are normal. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know! Thanks for your comment!
DeleteOh man. I made my TTC blog private because of everyone's comments about relaxing. I know they're trying to help but its just frustrating to hear. That is the last thing I will tell you :) My temps are always in the 96's, low 97's too. I stopped doing that though too. I'll say a prayer for you and cross my fingers...and my toes! We got a double yoke in our egg yesterday so I called it good luck...then we got another one with a double yoke! I'll say that luck is for you ; ) Yay for Cycle #3!!! 3rd times a charm right? :)
ReplyDeleteYour comment made me smile! I'm glad my temps may be normal. I'll take all the luck I can get! I'm hoping 3rd times a charm ; )
DeleteHmmm...thinking back to what worked for us...ovulation predictor tests definitely and "doing the baby dance" in the mornings (followed by laying still for twenty minutes or so). :) I wish you ALL the success I possibly can!!!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you!
ReplyDeleteYou may be pregnant now... just catching up on my blog reading. Not sure what kind of ovualtion tests you are using, but the double line test drove me nuts because I never knew when they were both "BOLD" lines. On our third month, I gave in and bought the digital smiley ones by Clear Blue and it worked!:) More expensive, but worth it! Here is proof that obsessing over getting pregnant works... no need to relax!haha It's impossible! :)
