FertiliTea & Allergies

Hidy all!

Has anyone ever tried this fertilitea stuff? It is meant to give a boost to the whole reproductive system. I ordered some and have started to drink it pretty regularly, it is really tasty and best if you can drink it hot. It makes these chilly East TN mornings feel better :)

I have absolutely no clue if the fertilitea had anything to do with this or not, but I did start a day or two earlier than I expected. I assume ovulation will be a day or two earlier too...this is all well and good...just a day or two early makes ovulation day MONDAY. Only the worst day ever when you are using shipped sperm from your KD. Of course, of course this would be our luck!! It's ok, maybe my ovulation will move up the full two days & actually happen on Sunday, that would be perfect for our new Saturday delivery!!

Rolling with the punches. That's what we are learning how to do...I'm excited to be close to trying again after our forced break. For now I am CD2...and the only complaint in my life is stinking allergies. Knoxville has the worst allergies...especially Fall allergies :( Oh well I'll deal.

We are moving forward on having our new fence built!! I am so so excited about that... I'll definitely post some before/afters of that because you all need to see what we have been living with for a while. My neighbors are going to be so happy!

Speaking of before/afters...does anyone remember when we ripped up carpet to lay bamboo floors in our bedroom?? Well here is that difference... 

   

It looks and feels AMAZING!! 

Um, other than sharing that the October Cycle is finally upon us, allergies are miserable, and showing off our new floors...I think that's it. I hope everyone out there is enjoying the cooler weather and hopefully you guys get to see some of the same colors I'm sure East TN will have to offer us pretty soon!

Mission Aborted

Well we had some miscommunications with our KD...& he wasn't in cell phone service range to get the message it was time to ship! So my intuitions were right that it wasn't going to work this month...I'm glad he didn't ship them late & just throw that money down the drain.

Now we will plan better for next month!! & I have a really good feeling about it working in October, plus my ovulation should be during the week not on a Sunday. All around better.

Ok now we wait...some more :)

& You Thought I Disappeared!

Hello blogland!! Have no fear, I am back!! I know that two weeks was torture without me, but I needed it :) I stepped back from obsessing for the two weeks between bleeding and ovulating to recollect my brain. Speaking of bleeding, that 3 day late period was awful. It was the heaviest period I have had in quite a long time...the cramps were miserable and I was sure I was going to bleed to death. Not fun, but its done & now here we are. Don't worry I still stalked you guys and I still checked in on Baby Center, I just wasn't obsessing. It was nice.

Tonight the TN Valley Fair starts and I work every day of it to make some extra money. I love it...well in past years it wasn't so great because of one lady I had to work with, but I am working at a different area this year and I am really excited!! It is 10 days...10 very long days, I will still be working my normal job...so in total I will put in about 108 hours...in 10 days. Did I mention that? That's a lot. I enjoy the atmosphere and the many different people I will get to meet. It is generally easy work, the best part of all is that it will keep my mind busy for most of the TWW we have coming up :)

Yep. I said it. We are going to try again this month!! I honestly thought we wouldn't be able to swing it, but I had DonorHomeDelivery.com send Stacey a kit last week so he would be familiar with the protocol and ready to go when we needed him to be. Well I am right on track to be ovulating in the next day or two, so we will have him overnight the swimmers to us this evening & use them tomorrow afternoon. At least the timing will be closer this go around. Instead of the last insem. being three days prior to ovulation, this one should be the day before.

I know it is bad to say, but I already think this month isn't going to work. I have a feeling October will be our month...but that isn't stopping us from trying of course!! I have this mindset that we will have pretty perfect timing and things will work out fine for the insemination...it just won't work this month. Is that weird? Has anyone ever experienced that before? I am already mentally prepared for it not to work. I think this mindset is really going to prove to be a blessing. I won't want to search any 'symptoms' or be worried about my temps (I will still temp of course because its habit now). I am ready to go into this one completely stress free and completely prepared to start again from scratch in October!

Alrighty. In 10 days I may be able to update again, that is if I'm not in a sleepcoma!
