Trying to Get Pregnant

The things we get excited about...

when TTC. I took today off of work because my SIL is getting married tomorrow, so I'm taking her out for a day of pampering before the rehearsal dinner. Even though I didn't set my alarm, I always wake up at my normal wake up time for work and temp (around 615). I temped, got a high temp which confirmed three days of higher temps after ovulation. Now, this is my 2nd month charting, but my last few cycles were crazy and I don't even think I ovulated. After getting off BCP last summer, my body has taken quite awhile to regulate (I think running/training for a half didn't help either), so this is the first time that I know I actually ovulated, and on day 16 in my cycle!

Anyway, I was so excited that my temp was still high, I literally had to get up out of bed to go login to FF to enter the temp and actually SEE the crosshairs. My first set of crosshairs! hahaha I couldn't even get back to sleep...so pathetic. Isn't it funny what excites us when TTC? I am so excited I ovulated and my cycle seems back to normal, that getting pregnant would just be another bonus! (not getting my hopes up just yet) I'm trying not to think it was a "sign" that I got a + opk on our 2nd anniversary :)

 Happy Friday everyone!

    I get unnecessarily excited the day I get CHs too.  Especially if they are solid. 

    Ok, good to know that I'm not alone!

  • I get excited too but a tech tip for you - maybe keep your phone by your bed and download the FF app and then you don't have to get out of bed to record your temp.  Thats what I do.  You know your TTC crazy when after you BD you grab your phone to input it!

    Bahaha! I do this too! Big Smile

    Awesome! I didn't know they had a phone app...way easier! And I think we are all guilty of running to input any updated info, haha if my husband only knew!

    Thanks, ladies!

    Definitely invest in the FF app. It's great access to stare at your chart without other people noticing.

    And the bolded part, I don't usually have my phone with me but while I'm laying with my hips propped for 10  min (yeah, yeah, I know), my H usually tosses it to me because he know I will input it.
