According to Dr. Amy's ovulation calculator this is my 'fertile' week. New Year's Eve is supposed to be the day I ovulate, even thought I'm feeling a bit crampy at the moment. Baby Center's ovulation calculator seems to correspond with Dr. Amy's. I suppose they're all based on the same principle. I know I said I'm going to relax and let nature take it's course and stuff, but that is harder to do than I thought it would be. Rudi and I have been trying every 48 hours for the past week or so and will continue to do so for a while I guess. That being said, if I don't fall pregnant this month I will surely lose my mind. We can't miss the ovulation window if we're trying so often, can we?
Fertility Friend seems to have ovulation calculation down to a science, but I was never really good at science and haven't bought the thermometer I would need to monitor my BBT (Basal Body Temperature).
I really should be patient and stop worrying about it. I know this. I know it will happen 'when it's meant to' like I've been told over and over again by various people. Truth be told I don't want to wait. I'm sure I've even said it myself, but it sounds so cliched and I don't want to hear it anymore.
Just writing this post is difficult. One minute I'm all gung ho being pregnant and the next I'm thinking I should just go with the flow and let it happen whenever.
Maybe I just hate not having control over it. Even if I am pregnant this month there will be the agonizing three months to follow to see if everything is OK. I suppose that's going to come whenever it happens.
FFS. I'm so conflicted.

The only thing that helped me was charting my temps, but I could never be bothered doing it online, I printed the charts and kept them next to my bed. You have to take temps before you get out of bed and/or have anything to eat or drink anyway, and if I didn't do that I forgot. You don't need a special thermometer, just a normal digital one works perfectly fine ;)
Good luck :)
Thanks Jenty. I'll probably do it online. I'm an internet junkie :oP
Truth be told I'm probably just too lazy to chart my temperature and stuff at the moment. I guess I'll get my bum into gear if it starts taking too long.
