Still Waiting.....
It's been 37 days since my last AF and according to my last few cycles which have been 33 days I'm technically "late". I wanted to get excited about this but so far 2 HPT have been been BFNs. I'm starting to wonderf if I miscaluated my ovulation date which could mess up my AF date. I am so stressed with all this stuff which I'm sure doesn't help with AF arriving or TTC. Hubby is all excited that I'm late and I'm starting to feel like I'm letting him down or something. So at this point all I can do is wait and see. Ugg. I love waiting as much as I love change.

Hump Day Update
Two BFN POAS tests and BBT temps down this week. Just waiting for AF to make her appearance this week.
Interesting article I read online today said that a new study showed evidence that women who are stressed find it harder to conceive. This should make things even more fun for me since my daily routine usually involves at least 1 stress out. Awesome. Might have to invest in some yoga tapes.

So Far, No Good.
So I gave in and POAS this morning. Hubby thought it would be really cool to find out if we are "expecting" on our Anniversary trip so we rushed over to a CVS (told you I would find a drug store) bought a 2-pack of POAS tests and waited till my am pee to test. BFN! :(
I'm hoping that it was too early for anything to show up and not that this month is a wash. According to my chart, I'm 4 days from testing, but since I'm not 100% sure when my body is ovulating, etc. (going off the pill is awesome!) I can't really be sure if when I thought I was ovulating was in fact the day. (I thought I got a positive OPK, but I also could have misread that as well.) I am supposed to get my period on Friday or Saturday, but again, my cycles are still a little unpredictable from going off the pill. I have been have 33-34 day cycles for the last few month so that's what I have been going with. Again, that annoying little thing called "time" comes into play and I will just have to wait and see what this weekend brings or doesn't bring. I prefer the latter.
As for any symptoms so far, my face was very broken out right before we left for the trip and is starting to clear up as the days go by, which is a normal PMS symptom for me, so that one doesn't seem to get me excited. I was having those weird cramps last week, which I thought was too early for PMS, but since my cycles are still unpredictable it could just mean AF could be coming earlier then this weekend. I have had no real breast sensitivity, other then a few issues with my nipples (isn't being a woman fun?!) but again, those could be both PG symptoms and PMS symptoms. As for nausea, I have been experiencing this since I started taking prenatal vitamins and just stitched my brand to try to prevent this. I have had nausea while we have been on vacation, but again, I am in a different place, eating no-so-great food and might be PMSing, so this wouldn't be a surprise. I wish I could say I had "implantation bleeding" or something really significant, but nothing yet. Again, have to wait the week out.
On a different note, I had a beautiful anniversary day with the Hubby. We walked around Savannah for two hours in the sweltering heat looking for a breakfast place and went to a fancy schmany restaurant for dinner and got seated at a romantic table by the window, which had ants crawling over it. OK, enough of the sarcasm. It was actually an amazing day.
I will keep you posted as the week goes by as to when AF arrives (boo!) or if we get a BFP (yea!)

1 Year Ago Today.....
1 year ago today I was still a "Miss". 1 year ago today I was putting on my white dress. 1 year ago today I was nervous and excited about what was ahead. 1 year ago today I married my best friend. 1 year ago today I wasn't even thinking about being a Mom.
Today, I am a "Mrs." who still remembers the feeling of that white dress. Today I am still nervous and excited about what is ahead. Today I celebrate being married to my best friend. Today, I can't wait to be a Mom.
Time is a funny thing. We try to find ways to stop it, yet marvel in how fast it flies by.
Here's to the next 365. May you bring much but take your time doing it.

Cramping My Style...
So the body has a weird way of playing horrible tricks on you. For the last day or so, I have been getting the weirdest cramps. They are similar to period cramps but AF isn't due until a week from Saturday so it seems early for PMS cramps which makes me (hopefully) think they might be implantation cramps.
That would of course mean I got pregnant this cycle which would be amazing for only 2 months of trying. I am pessimist though so I'm thinking they are probably my bodies way of saying "Hello...guess what AF is going to come early this month! Surprise!" Of course this would mean I would have AF while on my very romantic 1st anniversary vacation. Hubby is going to love that!!
Its obviously very early to even think of testing, so I am just going to hope that AF stays away at least till the end of my trip (or better yet doesn't come at all!)
I will keep you all posted while I'm away.

Have a Nice Trip.
Today began my TWW and I'm not feeling too confident about this month, but Hubby says "he did the job" so we will see. Hubby and I will actually be on vacation (for our 1st anniversary) when I'm supposed to be visited by AF (or not!). As for where we are going, Hubby and I decided on Savannah, Georgia. We wanted to go somewhere romantic to celebrate our anniversary, but also somewhere that wasn't too "resort like" or "vacationy", since we have done those trips in the past and for our Honeymoon. Savannah seemed perfect for the type of vacation we wanted and would still offer us a nice place to stay and things to do.
As I countdown the days until we leave, and even more importantly, our first anniversary, I still can't believe it's been a year since I get married. I never thought this time last year, as I was rushing around with last minute dress fittings and rearranging the seating chart for the 10th time, that I would now be consumed with baby dancing and OPKs, but that's where I find myself 365 days later. I am definitely not complaining. Being a Mom has been on my to-do list for quite a while, but now that's it a reality, I sometimes have to remind myself how fast times flies. Knowing this could very likely be our last vacation as a "twosome," we are making an extra effort to enjoy this vacation as much as possible. Having dinner in a romantic restaurant, a riverboat gambling cruise and even a late night ghost tour are all on the agenda. All very "not baby friendly" activities. We know this time next year we could be getting ready for a trip to the hospital instead of vacation trip.
I had visions of getting pregnant while on vacation (how cute would it have been to name a daughter Savannah), but thanks to going of BC and my irregular cycles that won't be happening. Instead, we will have to settle for finding out if we are "with child" towards the end of our trip. Still could be very romantic and make for a very memorable trip. Better start looking for a drug store near the hotel, just in case.
