Due date obsession and ovulation

Just thought I'd fess up to my new obsession, I have started a chart of every single month for the next year with estimated Ovulation date, if we were to conceive EDD, date of 2nd trimester, what months I'd need maternity clothes for, and how we would announce based on what time of year the 2nd trimester would fall.

Oh dear, I've totally lost it haven't I? I think this must be a coping mechanism for trying to look forward again after our ectopic but even I can see it's a bit crazy. I know based on my cycles what my EDD would be if I got pregnant any month from now until this time next year.

I'm ovulating today, in fact I think I already have. 18 days after my ectopic resolved itself, not bad going. I had cramps for a while earlier on but they have since passed. We only dtd 4 days before and 2 days before. NTNP but ... clearly i'm still obsessing and thus, in theory, trying. I've read that you're more fertile after a loss and I think I'm holding on to that too much. I know not to get my hopes up at this stage. I mean, I'm booked in for IVF in July for petes sake, I KNOW not to get this worked up. I need a slap.

Apologies for the ramblings of a mad woman.

Baby dust to all of you ladies <3
