Hello TTC/Preggo world....my name is Nicole, married plus one wonderful little boy!
On our son CJ's 4th b-day Dec 2011
My husband and I have decided that we are ready to add on to our family...I plan for this blog to be about our TTC journey, hopefully our preggo journey and also just my everyday lifestyle, feelings and struggles. I don't want this to be just "business", I want you all to feel like you can truly understand my experience....
So over the past few weeks I have entered into a WHOLE new world and my eyes are WIDE OPEN now! I've gotten so much inspiration, advice and support from all the TTC blogs, vlogs and websites I knew nothing about! My husband and I have been trying to have our 2nd child since Feb 2011, with a brief break in between we still haven't been successful. Until I finally decided to jump online and do some research. See with our first son was a surprise and we didn't do anything special, it just "happened". So guess we figured when we were ready again it would just "happen". Ha Ha very cute right...little did we know there are specific process and procedures!!
Now that I have learned more and gotten hip to the lingo... today I am on cycle #9, CD (Cycle Day) #15 and should be ovulating today but haven't had the chance to check my CM(Cervical Mucus) today and havent felt any twinges or pains on one side like I have before. My husband and I have BD'd (Baby danced) like no other on all of my "fertile days" and we plan to continue for at least 3 days after the day I feel I have ovulated. I am using the Answer OPK, but the only day I got a positive test was one early morning and I was very excited, but then I read online you shouldn't using morning urine. Soooo I tested that afternoon (about 5 hours later) and it was negative. So now I'm confused and not sure if I have bad tests or something. If we don't get preggo this cycle, I am going to buy the digital smiley face OPK pack for next month. I also discovered and read good things about pre~seed and I have used this in our most "fertile days". So fingers crossed I ovulate today and we are blessed with our 2nd baby.
Please pass ALL of your baby dust this way & I wish the best for any of you that may be trying to conceive as well.
- Love Nicole
Sending you some baby dust! & though we haven't been successful in conceiving yet, I do recommend pre seed! DH loves it! and it is really good for the sperm! I am also the new owner of the smiley face opk! It was much more fun than trying to figure out if the stupid test line was darker than the control line crap! So I recommend that as well! Good luck to you!
