I've been a bit MIA around this lil' ol' blog because I'm kinda trying to forget that we're TTC this month. I mean, not that I could truly forget, but I am doing the absolute bare minimum in that department this month. I'm taking my temperature just for continuity's sake, but I take it each morning, input it into FF first thing, and then I forget about it. I don't even know what cycle day I'm on right now, can you believe it? I am also tracking girly fluids a bit, but I'm honestly not even paying too much attention to that....if something "screams" blatantly at me, I will definitely take notice, but I'm kinda enjoying hanging with family and friends (we had a family wedding last week, it's my anniversary weekend this coming weekend, and my sister gets hitched in two weeks) and it's been nice to be carefree through it all. I'm sure I'll change my tune at some point this cycle, but for now, it feels good. Grouper and I do that thing married people do when we want, we don't when we don't. No scheduling or timing this month...it was pretty sad when I realized we were having less sex while trying to have a baby than we were when we weren't.
If we get a big surprise this month, that will be awesome...if we don't, well, we don't. There's not too much else I can do about it. I must say that I'm pretty excited that I'm going to be able to indulge in some adult beverages for my sister's wedding.
We've decided we'll think about the next steps when we get moved back and settled--hopefully I'll be pregnant by then and it won't be necessary.

That sounds like a good plan and a really mature attitude, Gridget. I'm in a pretty similar place right now with all this-- the end of the summer marks "next steps" for me and I'm trying to not stress to much as it approaches. Sometimes that feels great and other times it feels horrible. But at least it will be different.
ReplyDeleteYes, for you I don't think charting is really important, since you're sure to have sex in the fertile window anyways. Sounds like you're taking a super healthy approach-- and of course, the moment you're not paying attention to conception is probably when it'll happen! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at that wedding, and happy anniversary!!!
I called you Gridget! What the hell is wrong with me?
ReplyDeletethat sounds so free and easy. i think you needed a break to be normal for a while. Wishing you a happy anniversary and hoping for a surprise BFP!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you girl. This sounds like something I need to do. I've been a basket case lately:(
ReplyDelete*hugs* Hopefully you get your surprise this cycle and share your BFP news with us soon! :) If not - we go out for drinks when you move back!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a healthy "break". Enjoy all the family time! If there's a positive at the end, all the better! I think I'll take the next couple of months along these lines, too.
