A new approach

While I am trying to stay optimistic, I am also being realistic and thinking we might not have been successful this cycle. Although aunt flo still has to make her grand appearance on August 11th, and most people say I am not out until the witch shows up..I am still leaning more towards us having to try again in august due to the smaller amount of symptoms I am having and all the BFNs I've gotten lately.

So, new approach....

After reading multiple articles on fertility aids and what I can do I have officially decided to try evening primrose oil and pre-seed. Although I have swore to not be as obsessive this upcoming cycle, I am going to correct myself as say that by that I meant I won't obsess like I previously did with the hpt's. I will still do the following-

-BBT charting
-evening primrose oil
-pre-seed
-OPK's
-pre-natals
-fish oil

I am going to make myself a promise to not even open a single hpt until I am over 10dpo...I started testing way too early and it only led me to many nights of disappointment and tears. Although some women get BFPs at 7/8dpo...it is very rare and I think almost unrealistic for me to assume I'm one of the lucky ones.

Will still try to order the instead softcups as soon as I find out who ships to APO addresses and will give those a chance too, until then I will patiently wait for my Primrose Oil and Preseed to ship...and hopefully no AF!!

Baby Isabel Grace is due to grace us with her presence on April 16, 2013!
