Day 6

I managed to get up this morning.  It was even harder to get out of bed this morning than it was yesterday.  But I went straight to the shower.  So goal for tomorrow is to get up, and check on animals before I shower.  I need to check on them every day, so tomorrow is the start of that.

Ate ok, drank more water, but not enough.  Started stupid shots today as well.  I think today might be o day.  If it is, then I get to test on my bday!  I sure hope so.  Either way, the shots are underway.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.  But I did freak out a bit.  I really really hate needles!

Day 5

Well I did get up at 7am.  It wasn't easy though.  I was so tired, all I wanted was to stay in that warm bed!  But I'm glad I got up and got out of bed.  I won't get up any earlier than 7 until after I ovulate, so that I don't throw my chart off.   I guess my goal for tomorrow is to get up with less dragging, and take a shower before Kyler gets up, instead of waiting for when he goes down for a nap.  I like this setting small goals until I've reached bigger goals.  It's helping me feel like I'm doing something, but I'm not overdoing anything either.

Smells like a storm is coming.  I hope so, then I don't have to go water the gardens, lol.  Well I have a really bad headache right now, so I'm going to go.

Day 4

Today I didn't do better at eating or exercise.  Or even getting up.  But we did have a really hard night with Kyler last night.  He was teething so bad.  He's even taken to hitting his own face to try and ease the pain and discomfort!  I feel so bad for him.

On the upside, I did make a schedule yesterday as was my goal, and I even set my alarm.  I just went back to sleep after taking my temp for charting purposes.  I was just flat out exhausted.  But I have fertile cm today, so we're off to bd!  (tmi, I know!)  But I'm excited.  I really hope I get pg this month!

Hopefully tomorrow I'll do better at getting up earlier.  That's my only goal right now.  Get up with the 7am alarm in the morning!  I'll let you all know how that goes!

Day 3

So I'm not pregnant!  I'm so relieved about that.  I know that I rarely test positive with pg when not taking my lovenox, but if I had enough hormones to make me nauseous, then there would be enough for a positive hpt.  Which means we're ok to get pg this month!  Yay!  Right now I'm waiting to ovulate, then I have to wait the two week wait, which I know I won't last a full 14 days if I have any indication we were successful.  Last time with Kyler, I tested 11 days after ovulation and there was a very faint line.  I'm really hoping this is one of my shorter cycles, and not a long one, so I can test on my bday which is in two weeks from now.  I'll be 25.  I'm actually looking forward to my birthday.  Birthdays can be so fun, plus I usually get scrapbooking stuff.  Can't complain about that! :-)

Today my only goal is to set up a schedule for myself to follow, and then set my alarm tonight to get up in the morning.  Waiting until Kyler wakes up doesn't help me accomplish anything.  Especially if he keeps sleeping in.  It's now ten to nine, and both he and Brent are sleeping still!  Can't let Brent keep sleeping in though, because we have to go to church in an hour. 

Until tomorrow - Stephanie :-)

Day 2

Having a loss of appetite lately due to being nauseous during the afternoon.  I'm hoping this isn't due to pregnancy.  I wanted to get pregnant this month, but I haven't ovulated yet, so if I'm pg, then it's from last month.  Since I wasn't trying to get pg, I haven't been on the lovenox I need, which pretty well guarantees yet another miscarriage, and I've had 8 already.  I was thinking that this months "period" was actually a chemical pregnancy, but maybe I didn't miscarry after all, but my body stopped producing what it needed to keep the pregnancy developing.  I'm hoping (really really hoping and praying) that I'm not pg at all and I will ovulate within the next week and I can get pg then.  I will be testing again this weekend to see what it says.

In the meantime I still need to get more organized with my daily routine so that I can start working out a little.  I want to start getting up earlier in the morning so I can get some stuff done while Kyler's asleep.  I would love to have that time to take care of the animals, gardening, and working out.  I'll have to write out a schedule and then start setting my alarm.  It shouldn't take too long for my body to get used to it, but I sure hope it doesn't mess with ovulation, if I'm not pg.  If I am pg, I sure hope it's not too late to do something about it.

Day one

Today is July 7th, 2006.  I am a couple weeks away from my 25th bday.  I am currently trying to get pregnant, and I weight almost 100lbs more than I want to.  My goal during pregnancy is to not gain too much weight, and then to lose most of my extra weight during the remainder of the year 2007. 

I have never had troubles getting pregnant, just staying that way.  Now that I know what caused my miscarriages, I should be able to get pregnant this month as I want to.  I'm currently on cd13, so I'm just waiting to ovulate.  I'm very excited about getting pregnant and can't wait to get my BFP!  As a birthday present to myself I am hoping to test on my birthday.  Most likely that will be a little early, so I'm definately prepared for a negative.  I'm buying a couple tests though, so I will be prepared to test again shortly after my birthday either way.

As for what I plan to do weight wise, I want to get doing my pregnancy yoga video and getting on the elliptical trainer frequently.  Especially during this next week or two, so my body is used to working out before I get pregnant.  I plan on being careful and not overdoing it.  Don't want to mess with my system too much, but just get my body used to being used.

Here's to a healthy next year and a half!
