TTC Month 11

I was really gutted to get my period last week, for whatever reason I was really hopeful that it would be my month. I had started testing on DPO 5 despite really wanting to wait until 10 DPO and I was exhausted and upset when nothing came of it and my period showed. So now I am in the pre-ovulation phase of cycle 11 and feeling so defeated. I have decided not to temp or use OPKs this month because I'm tired of trying. I ran out of my PNV and haven't been taking my other supplements religiously like I was before. I haven't been drinking my teas. I have tried to be less hopeful and think about it less because it's so hard to be disappointed month after month. I have still been going to acupuncture every week because this might be my last month for a while. I can only go on Saturdays since I have no one to watch my son during the week but my husband will start working 6 days a week beginning in April so I'm taking advantage of it while I can.

I do plan to BD a few times around CD #16 and hope for the best. I don't have any pregnancy tests in the house and I really don't want to take any unless I miss my period. I think it might be easier to get my period than to have 5 days of negative pregnancy tests. But POAS is my ultimate weakness so I'm hoping I can stay strong. I have made this plan in the past and failed miserably (see last month when I started testing at 5 DPO ((SMH)).

Despite trying not to think about it, I have been reading more TTC stories lately and find them very comforting, which is why I decided to start journaling and write my TTC today.
