Featured Couple

Yesterday I was trying to check to see if I could get to the nest from work and thenestbaby homepage loaded up. I saw we are the featured couple. How exciting! When I tried to click on the story to read it, work blocks everything past the homepage, but it was still cool to see us there. I wanted to call my sister and a few friends and be like "hey look at us" but of course I couldn't. That was a little disappointing that I couldn't share it with them, but I'll print it out and share after we've gotten our + hpt.

So here we are, Saturday morning, CD 27 and no sign of AF. I decided to go ahead and test. One lonely pink line staring back at me. Ugh! I have no phantom symptoms, no AF symptoms. There's nothing else I can do but just wait around and see if AF shows up. If not, I might test Monday. This is the only "problem" I've encountered in not charting. I don't know how many days past ovulation I am (assuming I've ovulated). Although, since we've started trying, I've kept track of my cycle length and 28 is the longest I've had so I'm kind of playing off that right now. If I go past 28 days I'll consider myself late. That's all I can do. I have decided if I do start, I'm going to take another month off of charting. This is definitely the most relaxed I've felt since cycle 1. I feel more in control instead of consumed by all things TTC. That leaves more room for me to focus on my two favorite hobbies: making jewelry and painting. I have a canvas hanging in my bathroom all sketched out but not painted. Time to finish that up plus I have to start making the jewelry I promised my sister I'd have done by October so she could throw jewelry party. Time to enjoy the weekend.

You and I are in the same boat! I have no idea what day I O'd for sure, but so far, no sign of AF either. I did temp today, though and it was low (first temp this cycle). Good luck with testing on Monday!!

I saw you, so cool! Did you test this AM? I know its nice to not chart but its kinda hard to not know exactly where you are in your cycle. Keep me updated!
