pregnancy week by week

I'm baaaack!

Not much to report on the TTC front. We are still not pregnant. Still trying. That's about it!

We had a one cycle, forced break while Hazen was in Texas in January. That was kind of nice--no tests, no temperatures, just not thinking about it. In February I went to visit him the week I ovulated...no luck. I think with moving March was anovulatory. I don't have any real way to prove that since I wasn't really tracking my cycle, but my cervix didn't do what it normally does after ovulation. My period was also very light, with one full day of light flow, and four days of on and off spotting. It was weird, but also kind of helps my theory that I didn't ovulate that cycle.

THIS month, we are trying Preseed for the first time, but Hazen doesn't know it. It's a sperm friendly lubricant, the only one that is allowed to say it's safe for TTC. We are trying it because with Hazen's liquefaction and motility problems, the better my fluids, the better chance his healthy sperm have of getting where they need to go. So I'm going to use it when I start to show some fertile signs without telling my dear husband. I've heard of other husbands claiming they don't like it when they know about it, but having no complaints when they don't know it's there. Don't want to add any mind games to my poor hubby!

I'm also using OPKs and charting again, but leaving Hazen completely in the dark on those results. As of yesterday, CD 13, OPKs were negative but that is no surprise considering I don't expect to ovulate for at least another 4-7 days.

I will be making an appointment with my new PCM this month. It's time for my annual anyway, and I will ask for a referral to OB then.

So that's where we are. Just moving along...
