in TTC after 35
So, once my beta came back negative, I switched my FB profile photo to Dory from "Finding Nemo" because I had to remind myself to just keep swimming...
But now I say EFF THAT. I'm not going to just tread water. I'm going to actually kick IF ass this month. I'm doing the marathon BD again. I'm using the PreSeed. I'm using all the tricks I have up my sleeve.
So my new profile photo is a phoenix rising from the flames. Booyah!
What do you ladies do to psych yourself up every month?

I love your attitude! I tell myself this is a brand new month, and a new cycle, and anything can happen. Similarly to you, I also get psyched up by doing everything I possibly can to make this THE month. As soon as Dh gets better (he got sick - ARGH - but we think it's food poisoning so he should be over it soon), we will start BDing at least every other day through O time. I will also be using preseed, my CBEFM, and temping. Go us!
Melissa
I hope your plan works this cycle!
I have to say that I am decidedly unpsyched. I am trying to convince my husband that we should go out to the bars tonight. Perhaps some beer will help my outlook! Then, back to the RE on Tuesday for ultrasound & trigger shot. Then on to my gyn on Wednesday for my annual exam. Hooray.
Beer can only help one's outlook-- or at least get you to not give a damn anymore!
My friend gave me a blessed cross that she used for her 2nd daughter when she was having issues conceiving her (my friend is 10 years younger than me, so suck it doctors who think only old women have IF). I'm not religious, but I will take whatever I can get for help these days! It's under my pillow, next to my BBT thermometer...

This sums up my attitude perfectly!! It's all out of my control anyway...

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."
Good photo choice.
Honestly, it's my husband who psyches me up.
Great attitude! You can't let all of this bring you down.
We will be hitting it hard this month. Still in denial about any issues, so we are just gonna keep pretending we don't have any, though DH really should make his damn appointment already for his SA test.
