C#3 CD#11

Yippee! It is July already!!!

Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend! I had a good four days off! Relaxed and did some house painting. Even caught a movie -- The Perfect Storm. (It was great, in case anyone wants to know!). I just cannot get back into the work groove today. Ugh!

On the TTC front, everything is great. Relaxed is the word for it. I don't know why, but I am totally in relaxation mode for this cycle. Maybe because I am not worried about missing O, because I have the fertility monitor now. I love it. It's so easy. Just wake up every morning, pee on a stick, and put it into the monitor to get the reading. I started doing the sticks on CD6 (the first cycle they make you start early), and on CD9 I started getting readings of "medium" fertility (two bars). I guess they also start giving you medium readings early in your first cycle on the monitor so you get a few days in advance. (I guess the first cycle they have to "assume" that you O on CD14.) But it will tell me the day I am ovulating, and not make me guess like the darn OPKs. I think I will probably O on Monday or Tuesday (CD16/CD17). DH is going on a business trip on Tuesday, so I hope it happens before then!!! Otherwise it is on to cycle four. I am not feeling anxious about it at all though. It's ok. I am not going to get stressed about something that is totally out of my control. There has been no stress with our babydancing. Last cycle I was at his throat (or something else - naughty me) every day to BD. This cycle I have been pretty carefree. We are only going to BD when we feel like it. Two nights ago we made love. Not early BD, just made love. And it was great. I love feeling like that again.

I decided to take EPO this month. I am not taking too much, only 1,500 mg a day. I have not had any EWCM since I started TTC, and I am getting a little annoyed. So maybe this will help. We shall see.

I hope everyone else is doing great, and by the time you read this, I should have O'd!!!! +++ O vibes and pregnancy tests to everyone!

Love, Karen
