I wanted to say THANKS EVERYONE.

I get so darn frustrated. I say I don't care but I know I do, if this is another bummer month then it IS!!

I really appreciate the support and what you all did. I know it won't be long and I will be holding another. I just see Bailey getting older and Older and I don't want them to be SO far apart.

THANKS!!!!!!!!

That's not necessarily a bad thing. If he's older, he may be able to help you more than he causes you to have to do more work.

Tricia,

Mine have more of an age gap, and I LOVE it!!! There are 3 years between Josh and Bren, and 4 between Bren and Ian - for a total of 7 years 3 months between Josh and Ian.

It's awesome! =)

That being said, are you actually temp charting? Have you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility? Joshua was a big old surprise for us, but both Brenna and Ian were conceived on the 2nd and 1st cycles of temp charting.

With Brenna, we'd not done anything for a year and I was getting frustrated. So, I decided to learn how to chart. In doing so, I learned that I'm a late (or, used to be anyhow) ovulator and we'd been bd'ing at the wrong times.

With Ian, it was immediate. Though, I think he was a surprise too, in a sense - since we only bd'd once that month so I *knew* there was no way I was pg. LOL!

I did absolutely nothing else to try to increase the odds.

I hope you are able to find a way to relax about it, because as you know... being stressed isn't the best way to get pregnant. Once you are able to relax, perhaps you'll suddenly find yourself showing us a big old BFP!

Thanks Kris, I think that is what I was trying to do this month. I didn't temp in the beginning b/c I didn't care. and when I got a PEAK I thought

This is going to be it. I know more about my body than 50% of women about there and half the time my ob

at me b/c I check my Cervix.

oh well.

SO I figured go ahead and watch this beautiful PG chart unfold before my eyes.

Oh was I wrong, Now I am anxious. thinking "Not again, Not another failed month"

So here we are still several days out from af, and hoping that

will pop up on Friday before my trip, and if it doesn't then there is always next month.

I have to admit... I've never checked my cervix. The ONLY thing I relied on was my temperature and CM. But, I was super anal about my temps. I would barely even breath before I'd take my temp. Otherwise, I would be so far off my chart would not make any sense. It's weird!

Tricia · 04-23-2007, 04:00 PM

Thanks Kris, I think I had a assumption that my charts would look like they did when I was TTC bailey and that maybe a PG would like like my PG with Bailey, but obviously that isn't true, hence my frustration!!!

me back into reality. It will happen when it is suppose to happen, as simple as that.

I think the girls pretty much covered it, but just wanted to give you a big

! I know how frustrating it can get and each month feels like an eternity.

We conceived Rylie on our third month trying - I wasn't doing anything other than using the monitor, charting and prenatals. We BD'd the 3 days prior to O and twice on O day. I stayed in bed for atleast 15/20 mins afterwards.

Peyton was conceived on our second month trying - I was using OPK's, charting and prenatals. We BD'd atleast once the 5 days prior to O, twice on O day and once the following day. I stayed in bed for atleast 15/20 mins afterwards.

With this bean I was still taking prenatals for BF'ing. Based on my EDD I would have O'd on Jan. 2nd. That cycle we only BD'd like 2/3 times total (once being New Years Eve) due to the wacky bleeding I was having. Plus I was taking the pill. I was right up and in the bathroom right afterwards.
