Messed up cycle

Didn't end up getting my period until day 37(!) of my cycle. Have been extremely stressed at work over the last couple of weeks so think that delayed things. Going to try and lay off the thermometer usage a bit this month and try to be a bit less obsessive about what's going on. Oh, and have more sex!

Ovu...

...lating! Day 24 in the cycle - apparently this is very late. Just googled it - bad idea. Finding all kinds of things that could be wrong now! Argh...going to bed...

Problems

Saw an old friend last night. Haven't seen her for a long time. Surprisingly, we very quckly got talking about her difficulties getting pregnant. She and her other half have been having various tests done and have tried some treatments. I really hope it doesn't get to that point for us...

Did a pregnancy test today.

Negative. No surprises really. As my other half says, we'll just have to try harder!

Pink line

Got the line on Day 20 and have done what we needed to do! I've also been taking my temperature daily - absolutely no obvious pattern there... My period would be due in a few days and I'm already seeing the tell tale signs that it is coming (spotty chin!) So not holding out much hope for this month.

6 months in

So, I'm 6 months into this adventure and I'm no spring chicken, so I am now officially charting and taking my temperature and using ovulation tests. A bit of a palaver but good to feel like I have a bit of control over proceedings, even if in reality I don't at all! It's day 16 of my cycle and no sign of ovulation happening yet. Keeping my fingers crossed for that little pink line soon.

Rub it in why don't cha

I did get my period - a bit earlier than expected.

A colleague at work was gossiping about another colleague who looks to be pregnant. And then she says "so what about you?" As in, "are you pregnant yet?" How rude!
I said "no and don't ask me again!"

Moaned to friends about it at lunchtime so now they know we're trying too. Just putting some more pressure on myself there then!

Came home and ordered some ovulation tests on ebay...

Saddo.
