Journal Entry for July 17, 2008 Mood

Thursday, July 17, 2008 | A General Update story

Guess it is about time for a new journal entry. Haven't written one in a while.

Well today is CD23 and I still have not ovulated. So for the second month in a row, I am beginning to wonder if I am going to. Last month I got the peak on the fertility monitor on CD22. I will probably give it one more day before completely throwing in the towel on this month. I wasn't taking my BBT last month so I am not 100% positive that I ovulated. This month, so far, no peak on the monitor or BBT. I feel like I am about to ovulate. I have been cramping and having pretty strong ovulation pain for a few days. But not really any fertile CM. I will just have to wait it out.

I hate this whole process. I hate planning BD, the temp taking, the certain positions, etc. It sure takes the fun out of it. And then to not even ovulate seems like such a waste of time. I got pregnant before without all of this, maybe I should just stop trying and see what happens. But then I will feel like I am not doing anything to help me get pregnant and will feel worse when AF arrives. Like I did nothing to stop it. The sad part is that I look forward to the 2ww when I don't have any rules to follow but my 2ww was only about 9 days last month so I didn't get much relief. I guess I will just have to take a deep breath and keep on going on.

I have been thinking about getting a book or two to help out. I know several people have posted different books that they recommend. If anyone reading this knows one, please post it. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I know the whole process is frustrating. I hope you still ovulate, good luck.

I get so frustrated that this process is so frustrating, I go back and forth myself between wanting to chart and OPK, to not wanting to because I don't want the additional stress. My first pregnancy we didn't do anything but BD and I got pregnant no problem, so why would I need to stress myself out with adding all the additional factors, but at the same time I want to know when I am ovulating so that I can make sure to BD. It's all so crazy that it becomes all consuming. Hoping for your O

I go to the RE for an u/s every five days so I know exactly when I ovulate but I still chart my temp and all that, it's crazy but it makes me feel like I am doing something. And I need that. Hang in there.
