So what's new...
Not much really.
Friends of ours became pregnant about 11 weeks ago, just found out some bad news about the baby, but are seeking a 2nd opinion. The baby might have downs. I can't imagine what they are going through right now. I don't know what they believe or what options they have... I am keeping my fingers crossed for them that no matter what happens, they will get through it.
Mr. Moo and I have started trying this month. Who knows when is the right time...b/c every site and every book I read tells me a different time of the cycle is the fertile time, so we are just going to go at it every other day until December. How weird it is to have that little tidbit of our lives out on the net... but it is what it is.
We don't know what we are really doing, so the more days, the more chances, eh?
I have been telling ppl that we may try sometime next year, (end of Jan, or sometime in Feb or maybe even in August after our reunion in HI).
So, my sister-in-law mentioned that if we get preg in Jan/Feb, they will start trying for #2 in September, so we can have kids close in age - I thought that was funny. I think b/c having children puts you into a kind of clique. It's just weird.
Anyway, I've been trying the basal temp monitoring, and my temp is down around 97 degrees everyday. With a regular thermometer, my temp is usually around 99-101 -- so it's strange seeing such low numbers. I'm not sure what the basal temp signifies, but i'm keeping track until I finally decide to be interested enough to look it up.
Mr.Moo also picked up an ovulation testing kit. They look like pregnancy tests that you P on. You're supposed to do one a day for 7 days, and when it comes out positive, you are fertile. Gotta get to it, b/c you only have 24-36 hours to get PG.
LOL --
I will start them today.
I think this whole getting preg thing is just something to keep me from being bored at the moment, b/c I still don't feel I will get pg right away -- so for now, i go through the motions.
Fun times!!

Get the book Taking Charge of your Fertility its the BEST! BBT are going to be lower in temp because its your temp at resting, the increase you normally see if from the engery your body burns while eating/talking/moving. 97 is a perfect morning temp!
I know so little about pregnancy, so again, I am living vicariously through you. :-)
I always believe in the saying of "things happen when you least expect it." ;-)
i'm with blustrella, i'm living through your experiences. ewwww, that's kind of gross in this case. anyway, things will happen when they are supposed to. i admire your "dedication" to this though. I will say though, that in the adoption agency that i worked in, we had many people come to adopt that couldn't conceive for years...and i mean YEARS. once they made the decision to take the pressure of themselves and adopt...they became pregnant and we never heard from them again. it was a beautiful thing
