C1 CD 29 7 DPO AFNW around Oct. 29.

Temps are looking up, up, up, makes me wonder?? :) or maybe I need a new thermometer -- it is a couple of years old. If AF shows (please don't) I will get a new one. I bought a new box of sticks for my ClearPlan fertility monitor, which I am hoping I don't need also. They are starting to cost me a new box a month, being that I have been so irregular, plus you're not supposed to use it until you have had two cycles after child birth, and I went ahead and did use it, figuring the worst thing it could do would be to cost me a lot of sticks and it has. I got a four-day cut off, (since I am trying to follow the Shettles method for conceiving a girl, and you stop BD'ing before you O). I wonder how many little X sperm could be alive at that point, but since I wasn't sure when I would O, I didn't want to get too close to it. With Abby, my cut off was two and a half days, and that would be what I am shooting for next month; anything closer then 48 hours from O puts you in the 50/50 gray area. I am still taking my supplements, calcium, magnesium, cranberry, and vitamin C. All of these are in hopes of changing my pH to a more acid environment, which kills off the Y sperm.

Everyone ready for Halloween? I feel bad because this is my least favorite holiday. There is nothing worse than decorating your house in orange and black, and with spider webs, LOL. Oldest to youngest, this is what the boys plan to be: Andrew, nerd; Wesley, skeleton; Gabe, dog; and Josh, pirate. I told them they couldn't be anything evil.

I made the mistake of going to Seattle Friday to go shopping with my sister. Boy, this woman can shop. She has just bought a house and needed curtain rods for EVERY window. I got home around 10 p.m. after leaving the house at 6 a.m. I was so tired that the next day I took a four-hour nap. Here it is Monday and my ankles still hurt. I think that's a hint that I need to get back into shape and lose some weight. I thought about going to Weight Watchers again, because I lost all of my weight after son #2 there -- it's such a great program. But I am just so unmotivated, I think I might have a little depression, not enough that I think I need medication for it. But enough that I don't want to do anything like exercise, cook, laundry, LOL. OK, so I might have always hated those things, but I wonder how much carries over from Abby's death ...

Well, I wish everyone a happy week and lots of ++++++ thoughts.

Chris
