Uggggh, DS is driving me up a wall! I know this isn't good for my T levels at all so now that he's down for a nap I'll have a mini therapy session by posting in my blog and hopefully I can turn the day around!

So, I want to talk now about my cycle and how totally messed up it is right now, and my "window" for TTC during a new moon.

I think I'm on day 33 of my cycle and AF isn't here yet. I think this is because I'm taking saw palmetto and vitex though. I'm definitely not pg and I think I am showing signs of PMS like ravenous appetite (didn't do so well with diet over the past few days between that and Valentine's Day treats), being more moody and feeling kinda tired too. So, I'm hoping that AF does show up within the next several days so I can start getting ready for the "home stretch" and actually actively TTC.

I don't believe ions are the end all be all of swaying but I conceived DS during a big full blown full moon so I want to ttc my DD during a moon phase leaning more toward new. According to the moon charts, my ideal time to have my attempt is between March 6 and March 18 with is a pretty big window, with the dates closer to or on the 11th as being the ideal day to O, and I guess the attempt would be sometime either on March 9th or 10th if all were to go according to plan.

I still need to pick up an OPK and more zyrtek and sudafed for the attempt. Otherwise I have everything I need and I'm just awaiting the arrival of March so I can have my attempt, hopefully get a BFP and move on from this crazy LE diet.

Truth be told though, I think I'd be ok with a BFN in March simply because slightly more girls are conceived in April than March, so if I had to try again I'd be trying in girl friendly April. If I still don't have a BFP from an April attempt, I'm going to have to re-think my plan because I conceived DS in May and I don't have the warm fuzzies about May as a month to ttc pink because of that (for *me* personally not anyone else.)

Ugh, I am tired of the LE diet though. Right now I'm not too sure if that's my PMS hormones talking or if I'm really burning out on this silly diet.

It's a long weekend this weekend so I'm going to see if DH wants to do something fun in the city so I can get my mind off all the things that are driving me nutso right now. :/
