This morning I had bright red spotting, then it went away. In the afternoon, it was brown. Now, about 17 hours after the first episode, there is more brown spotting. All of this has been accompanied by impressively painful cramps that I don't think anything could survive. So, maybe tomorrow will be another spotting day or CD1, but I'm mentally closing the book on our first month of TTC.
I had many variables this month, so hopefully charting during my next cycle will be better. I hope my LP lengthens a bit and of course that my post-O temps jump asap. I'm going to go buy a blessed BBT at Walgreens this weekend and wear a cami top to bed instead of my flannel pajama shirt. I'm not going to test OPKs until I see a full ferning pattern with my ovulation microscope either.
DH and I talked about today's events bringing us to a conclusion on cycle 1 of TTC. He's dedicated to continuing and listened to my concerns about the next two cycles. As of right now, I will chart, but we will not actively try until closer to summer as we do not prefer our child's birthday in the beginning of the year. This is personal for us and we agree. Things could change, but this is what we talked about in the car when we pulled into the driveway after picking DH from the bus stop.
