I was reading through a pregnancy book I have and I was a little worried to read that, on average, it takes about three months of trying before a couple typically becomes pregnant! I really hope that isn't the case with us. Since we have a specific time frame we are aiming for, it would be hard to not have it go right. But...I suppose it's more about having the baby then when. But still...I really like the timing we have planned. The timing would be ideal for my work, for the holidays, and for other family birthdays. Anyway, I just hope we can conceive easily. We're doing all we can to help increase our odds (no alcohol or caffeine, eating healthy, watching my weight--which I've already lost about 7 pounds!!!--and managing our stress levels), but I suppose the rest is up to mother nature. I've also been off my birth control since Thanksgiving. So, hopefully that will be all out of my system come February when we're trying.
It's kinda odd...I thought I was going to feel a bigger difference after coming off of my birth control. I thought I might be more moody, or maybe breakout like a teenager again. But so far I haven't felt anything. I don't even know if I'm ovulating. How can I tell if I am?....Am I suppose to get really randy or something? Since I've been on birth control for so long, I have no idea how I'm suppose to recognize it. I did read, however, that I should learn to track my ovulation to increase chances of conception. It said something about monitoring the vaginal mucus and my body temperature. I just figured we'd have a lot of sex when it comes to February so we're bound to hit my ovulation time at some point. Maybe next month, I'll start to feel more of a difference since I'll have been detoxed of birth control for over a month at that point. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
And it's one, two, three strikes your out at the ol' Pickle game!
