Where are you egg?

Did we miss it?

I've been traveling a lot for work. I love it, and I appreciate it so much because I know that if (when) I'm pregnant I won't be as mobile... at least in the 3rd trimester and when breastfeeding. So I love to do it while I can. And my boss is really lovely in that he would let me say "Not that week, I'll be ovulating." and would work around it while keeping his trap shut.

That said, it's hard to time because my ovulation (or lack thereof) is so irregular. This cycle we didn't BD CD11-14 because I was out of town. I hope we didn't miss it.

This cycle has been such a mess..with the flu and the new Clomid dose and the travel schedule. I don't know what to expect.

Trying to conceive in Sweden.

I had my period. Organically. No drugs.
hmmm. What does that mean? I've decided I'll never really know, so it doesn't really matter. I started Round 2 of Clomid and will start temping again tomorrow morning.

And I'm off alcohol again. But I had more than enough over the last few days in the UK and Sweden...so I'd probably be off it regardless.

Heading across the pond.

Tonight I head to the UK. Two weeks of not having to think about all of this as much.

Today is CD26. If AF doesn't show up by CD35, and there's no reason why it would since I most likely didn't ovulate, I'm starting Provera again followed by 100mg of Clomid.

And having a stiff drink.

Yes. I can't drink while I'm temping because it messes with my metabolic rate and makes my BBT artificially high. So even on the days leading up to ovulation I can't drink if I want to record reliable data...and it's not in my nature to jeopardize the experiment...

There's nothing cyclic about it.

women talk about what "cycle" they're on. as in..."this is our 3rd cycle trying to conceive"..or.."last cycle I ovulated on CD16"..or.."can you believe I got pregnant on our very first cycle trying?"...

SHUT. UP.

Oh. and I'm pretty sure I didn't ovulate despite the positive OPK.

Are you there egg?

This is how women who are trying to conceive talk. and by "talk" i mean chat.

DH and I have been TTC since 1/09.
I don't OV on my own, so I started rnd1 of Clomid after 10 days of Provera.
I've been taking my BBT and using OPKs.
Finally had a +OPK on CD20, which is later than I expected.
We've been BDing EOD since CD12, so we should be in good shape if I actually OV.
Now I'm just temping and watching for the shift...should be in the 2WW soon.
BFP or bust.


Love the acronyms. My favorite is BD. The rest I could get out of context, but BD I couldn't. I knew it was a euphemism for having sex, but I couldn't figure out what BD actually stood for. These are women talking about very personal things...their cervical mucus, how often they have sex, their husband's sperm counts, etc.

And BD?
