OPKs and Other Useless Things

OK, maybe it's really just the OPKs on my mind right now....

I got a + OPK on Tuesday. According to how OPKs and the woman's body is supposed to work, I should have O'd yesterday at the latest. And I really think I did, but there wasn't much of a temp rise this morning. It went up some, but not like the smack in the face you O'd kind of rise. So guess what, hubby and I are going on 4 days in a row of trying to make a baby! Yeah I know some people think "Oh you lucky girl." Don't get me wrong I enjoy it, but it's just so unromantic and frustrating. Anyway, I really hope I get a rise tomorrow because I don't think things can get any more perfect than they are this month, well assuming the fluid is gone from my tubes.

Another useless thing is the dog collars I've bought for our "puppy". He's a year old and part Bullmastif and has gone through 3 collars this week! I just picked up another new one today, if this doesn't work he may have to become a neighborhood dog.

In some good news, Lilli is pretty much potty trained!!! Only 2 weeks!!! I'm so proud of her. The only hard part now is when she's in new places and feels like she might miss something. She still goes, but doesn't give quite as much notice that she needs to go.

Hope everyone has a good weekend, I'm spending mine on some major house cleaning.

Time To Relax...

That's what I'm going to try and do this month. I know it sounds crazy cause I hate people telling me to do it, but that's what I'm going to try and do. More for my sanity than because I think it will help me achieve pregnancy. I've quit temping and I swear I'm not going to pick up the thermometer once this month. On CD 8 we are going to start BDing every other day until I'm more than positive I've O'd.

To keep Brian up with the plan, while he was in the shower on Saturday I put little messages in his phone that say things like "Guess what you're getting tonight!" on his calendar so it will go off in the afternoon and tell him. That way he doesn't have to think to much about it and neither do I. Only a few more days until we start the marathon! I hope it works, but I'm really going to try and not think about it. I just have that feeling that with not temping I'm going to worry about if I'm really sure I O'd when I think I did. I might break out the OPKs cause I still have a bunch left from my Internet order, but I haven't decided yet. We'll see when the time comes.
