Introduction
After many cycles where we were not trying to prevent but not necessarily TTC either, we began actively trying in September/October cycle. No luck despite FF reporting we had good timing. Then mid-November, discovered DH being laid off at end of year. We debated whether to stop trying or maybe even start preventing until we were more certain of his job situation. Decided to just put it in God's hands and not dedicate ourselves to getting pregnant but not actively stop it either. BD on days 11 and 15 and likely O'd on 18, so FF showed low chance of conception based on timing this month. I didn't have high hopes, which seemed fine because DH still hasn't found job (although he has a few interviews outstanding that seem promising).
Charting Experience
The best part about charting for me has been gaining a greater understanding of my body and my menstrual cycle. Before I started temping, my premenstrual symptoms always caught me off-guard (am I sick? am I going crazy? am I pregnant?), but after charting for nearly 3 years I know that a little bit of depression and anxiety are pretty much normal for me when AF is on the way.
Other Thoughts?
Today, FF told me I was past my normal luteal phase length and I could test. But I've had two other non-conception cycles that had 14 day luteal phases so I thought I'd wait one more day and surely by the end of the day or the next morning the flow would start. But after spending most of the day feeling crampy (unusual for me before AF starts -- I usually have cramps on the first full day of flow and not before), nauseous and tired, and not seeing any day-before-AF-type spotting (another normal feature of my cycle), I decided to test.
I can hardly believe the positive result!! I'm so excited and at the same time wondering if it's a trick or a false start and AF will arrive tomorrow anyway. :p God obviously has a plan for this, for us, and I will choose to trust Him for everything-- a job for DH, this precious little life, my marriage. :)
