CD17 comes with a feeling of hope

Yes, 2 blogs in one day! The first, 'Pregnant Friends', I guess was a bit of a rant - a therapeutic release of words you might say!

So it's CD17 for me, and the first cycle that I've been 'charting/temping' and all that jazz. Some might find it strange that after over a year of TTC I've only just started to really monitor and get to know my cycle - I've always viewed it as an extra stress, perhaps even a passion killer? But I thought I'd jump on the band-wagon and see what it's all about.

I have no idea when 'O-day' usually arrives for me, and Fertility Friend suggests that it's still to come, but, as the title suggests, I'm hopeful. Not necessarily thinking that we'll conceive this cycle but hopeful that our time is just around the corner. Ooooo the thought just makes me buzz with excitement and joy!

Keep hoping, wishing and praying - our time will come.

Cycle 1 Day 10 (post-methotrexate) TTC

My 3 month wait is officially over! Hooray! My body seems to have got itself back into gear and I am currently on cycle day 10.

We've decided to have a bit more of a plan this time around (it took us 10 months to conceive last time around - but we took a very relaxed approach) in hopes that it improves our chances of conceiving a little quicker! So I'll be charting my cycles, taking my temp. each morning etc in an attempt to work out when I tend to ovulate ('O-Day'). I will try this for a few months - if it starts to become a bit of a chore and results in us getting at all stressed then we will go back to our relaxed approach straight away!

So - join me in my journey and if you're going through something similar then direct me to your blog, I would love to be a support and an extra prayer to anyone on a similar journey to us.

Love C x
