O Nature-al

So this cycle I'm trying to do things the natural way. Well, for the most part. I am still taking b6 to keep my luteal phase at least 12 days long. I also temped this morning and yesterday morning to see if I ovulated. I haven't yet. But I don't plan on temping the next several days a least. I don't want to know the exact day that I ovulate this time to hopefully make my two week wait a little easier on me because I won't know which day I'm on. I'm going by cm (cervical mucous) to try to determine ovulation and bding (baby dancing, aka sex).
So this last weekend was alumni weekend at the Bible College my hubs and I went too. It was a good time. But not like other years when there were more people from our years to visit. That was disappointing for sure, but all my siblings were out so that was good. Too bad babies make it hard to visit with my sis-in-laws though because of nap-times and bedtimes. I decided I think on friday that I was going to fast on sunday. Boy I suck at not eating haha. I made it over 22 hours. I didn't get in as much time praying as I wanted too, (busy still on sunday) but I'm still glad I did it. I was fasting because I want to get pregnant, and I was praying also for a friend of mine who is facing infertility as well.
So, today I am on cycle day 17. Last cycle I o'd (ovulated) on cd (cycle day) 15. But this cycle I didn't take vitex, which I'm regretting now because I still am waiting to O. So next cycle (unless I'm pregnant!!!) I plan on starting that up again. I'm finally gearing up to O, I think, because I'm finally getting some fertile cm. Yay! So probably in the next few days I'll O.
Oh! I didn't tell you guys that my hubsy got a promotion within his work! He's a team leader now! His pay goes up substantially on Dec. 1st! Super exciting that's for sure! Maybe now God will bless us with a baby because we'll be able to afford it so much easier. (always got to think of the positive right?)
Hmm... I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet really (just two items). We haven't had any money to do that yet. But we only need to have three Christmas gifts bought before my mid december paycheck. Good thing!
Well, that's all for now, have a great night wherever you are!

  2. Hey Helen dearest, just read your comment. Thanks for your encouraging words, although I do feel like I fall short in those areas. :) Thanks for your prayers.
