Today marks the end of month 14….bring on month 15….well not really. Since it seems it will never happy I can expect the evil Aunt between Sunday and Tuesday. Depending on if I have a 12 or 14 day luteal phase this cycle.No symptoms or even sort of symptoms for PMS or Pregnancy have been showing. At this point, I don’t take much stock in it anyways.
I’ve been charting for 6 months at this point. I know that I ovulate. I know that it happens at a different time every cycle. So at this point if it is meant to be it is meant to be. Still going to keep trying, but I’m stopping charting with this cycle. It causes me too much stress, wondering if we did the deed close enough to ovulation to be a possibility and I hate feeling stressed if I don’t feel like we are being “consistent” enough. I don’t want that dept to be a pressure thing. And the further the pass I year the mark, the less stressed about this process that I want to be since I obviously can’t control any of it.
On the other hand the longer we’ve been trying the more developed my sixth sense has become. The sixth sense that knows someone is pregnant even before it is announced. There are 2 people at work that I’ve been feeling have the prego vibe and today I just found out that one of them is due in August. The other I guess I’ll just wait and see since I don’t know her enough to ask or find out officially…lol. I saw on another fertility blogger the other day that they no longer call Facebook Facebook, but they now call it Babybook. Seems more accurate as it seems that all I see are trackers, announcements, baby photos, or pregnancy cravings. At least I know who to avoid for pregnancy conversations….lol.
So there is the craziness of the last week. Hope if you reading and going down the path of your own fertility journey that the start of a new month can be new beginnings and filled with hope.


Thanks for this post. Today we have officially started. I was reading about charting etc and just thinking about it was making me anxious. I hope that your new outlook means that month 15 is your last month of waiting.
It is an exciting day when the journey starts! Enjoy each other and this process as much as you can.
