Ok, so last cycle I was REALLY high strung. Having to focus on every little detail of TTC AND swaying, with the monkey wrench of clomid thrown in was a lot of stress. So this cycle I have made a decision to take it easier. As far as temps, I am not going to make a point to temp. I likely will through the week as I'll be up to get the kids off to school anyway but weekends are up in the air... If I happen to wake up then maybe I'll temp but I won't be setting an alarm unless I get an LH surge in which case temps will help me pinpoint exactly when I O'd and it will be a lot less stressful for me to wake up a couple extra mornings than to try to figure out "Am I ___ DPO or ___ DPO?" After O, I might temp... or I might not It'll probably be like before O.. if I am up anyway I'll temp but if not then I won't.

Diet wise, I am not counting anything anymore. This was the most stressful part for me (this and trying to figure out WTH was up with O). Trying to consistently stay within the guides, never too high or too low on anything... it is stressful. So I am going to try just being mindful of my choices. I may decide to count things up for a day every so often, to make sure I am not veering too far off course but for the most part I am just going to try to make LE friendly choices and leave it at that. Also, I am doing couch potato this cycle (mostly because I know keeping it up all cycle would be impossible with everything going on this month) so one less thing to worry about there too.

We are going to BD E4D, just like last cycle. DH is going to keep taking his OLE and I am backing off a bit from the baby asprin (just taking it less frequently, not stopping all together) and keeping up on my clomid, Zantac and FA regimen.

So that is our new plan. DH wants a girl but he kinda wants to just drop the sway. It is a lot of pressure on both of us. So, we are going to try a more easy going cycle and see if that is an agreeable compromise. Plus, I'll be going back to school soon and that is enough stress all by itself, lol. I'd be a neurotic mess if I tried to do it all perfectly. that this will be enough to get us a BFP and a pink bundle.

I think that sounds great, two! I changed my temp time this month to a few hours later and I've found it to be much more doable. I won't be able to keep it the same time next cycle though as I will be starting a new job. FX for your pink bundle!!!

Good luck with your new job

Thanks! It will be the first time I've worked at a "real" job in 6 years, so I'm really nervous.

Eek! Just think, you could be starting with full-blown preg symptoms! That is my concern in regards to school! I would be in school for my entire first trimester and part of my second. So the hardest part of preg I will be in school... trying to stay away, pay attention and not hurl on my classmates... Not looking forward to it, but I can't put my life on hold to TTC. God help us both, lol.

Exactly!! Luckily it's only part time and I only work for a semester (15 weeks) at a time. So, if I decide that I don't want any hours next semester, I just let them know. Then when I'm ready to go back, I just let them know and they'll schedule me again. I think it will work out really well. Plus, my sister works there, so I have someone to talk to if I start freaking out. I haven't had good work experiences in the past, so I have a lot of anxiety about working. I think I can stick it out for 15 weeks though.

Wow! what are you going to be doing?

[momamia4]

Working in a childcare center at a college. I just hope that changing poopy diapers won't make me throw up. It's one thing to change your own kids' diapers, it's totally another to change some other kids. You know? Lol!

Yes I know exactly what you mean. My boys could clear a room but I was uses to it... changing a stranger's baby.... that is different for sure.

Question- last month i ovulated cd13, this month I've had faint lines but no positives, I'm now on cd13 and the line is gone completely. Could I still get a positive this month? I'm so confused as to why the line would just disappear.
