On to cycle 18.

BirdieBrdBirdieBrd
in TTC after 35

So yesterday my period arrived with vengeance.    We took a break from using Clomid but we had good timing and I'd hoped that my body would work with me unmedicated. It did work as far as I ovulated but not knocking me up. I don't know why it was such a blow to me.

So this month I will start charting again and we will try once again unmedicated. Next month, if need be, we will go back to meds.

I'm going to start using my ellipitcal machine again, I have not used it for the longest time.  I'm hoping the exercise will help with my attitude and staying positive.

My husband's cousin is pregnant. She got pregnant on her wedding night basically and I got to listen to her go on and on about how easy it was for her to get pregnant; even snapped her fingers for effect. Anyway, she's due to give birth next month,  I was so hoping that I'd be pregnant again before that.  Oh well...it will happen for us one day.

Hope everyone had a better weekend.

    Hey Birdie,

    Ah jeez....sorry to hear about AF and the rest. I agree about the elliptical..I love exercise myself and I do find it's great to focus.

    It's hard sometimes to hear stories like that hey? I hope the week is a bit better for you.....take care of yourself :)

    Hi Birdie,

    Sorry to hear about AF.  Sorry also about the difficult cousin and her lack of sensitivity. Good luck this cycle.  I would recommend the elliptical trainer.  There is nothing that helps my mood more than exercise.

    Good for you to start using the elliptical machine again! Sorry about AF. Hang in there!

    I know it is hard when others get pregnant so easily especially family. I just try to remember all the good things I have. If that doesn't work at the time I just cry :-) That always makes me feel better.

    Sorry to hear about AF. I love my elliptical. It's better than yoga and my bootie has never looked so good. I think it will help and be a good outlet. GL this cycle!
