So life has for the most part returned to normal. I still have to go for one more blood test... next week. My Dr. wants to track my hCG levels until it's back to 5 or less. The DH made a "baby dancing" joke last night... so I'm guessing that it means he's ready to move on.

I'm back to working on projects for my clients... which is good. Sitting around the house feeling sorry for myself was doing me any good.

I'm looking forward to trying again after one cycle (our Dr. said that's all we really needed to wait)... but I have to admit I'm going to likely be a ball of nerves the next time I pee on a stick and it's says "pregnant".

Well I've been very dedicated to completing my chart on FertilityGal and testing using an ovulation predictor kit... testing the "O". It hasn't showed that I'm ovulating yet... but of course the DH and I are playing the baby making game. The last two months we sticked to the every other day recommendation. This month we're trying every day. I guess we'll see what happens.

What about you ladies? How did you get preggers? Every day? Every other day?

Help a Craving Baby out. Send me your advice.

I know the TTC name for it is "Baby Dancing".... but maybe it should be the "Baby Making Game"?

I'm starting to think that I should make my husband and me jerseys to wear... we are after all active players in the "baby making game". Just like any other game there is preparation, thought and a victory on our minds everytime the big "O" rolls around. I have to say, it's only been three months and I'm a little exhausted.

God bless the couples that try and try for years with no success... it has to be agonizing. I am of course using the ovulation predictor tests and while it didn't work out last month I'm crossing my fingers (and raising my hips) that it will this month.

Hope all you mamas and mamas-to-be out there in the blogosphere had a wonderful weekend.

I recently read an article from Shine (Yahoo's female friendly site) that I thought all you mamas and mamas-to-be would be interested in. According to the article "Are your late night snacks killing your sexual appetite?"... your late night snacks really could be. A recent study showed that "one third of people asked said that they are too tired for sex or felt bloated after eating unhealthy foods at the wrong times." (The Sun)

Now if you are trying to make a baby... you don't want anything to derail your plan... especially not a "yucky" late night snack (think chili cheese fries, fried tomatoes and Doritos) that makes you want to hide beneath the sheets and grown yourself to sleep.

Check out the entire Shine article for a list of Do's and Don'ts. My fav "Do" from the list? "Not all carbs are mood killers". Finally something positive about my long lost friends, carbs.
