And the 2 week wait begins! #20
Hilariously and on accident, we managed to catch ovulation this month if the Glow app predicted it right.
C and I went out for the weekend and camped with the stepsons. It’s a trip we do every year with friends I’ve had since grade school; camp at the coast, go crabbing, and spend days catching up on our over-filled lives around a fire. It’s awesome, and I feel rejuvenated in a way I didn’t know I needed. C and I got lots of quality time together, but no sex.
Camping sex is the best, but I was glad we brought the boys this time. They had a blast, and it meant we had to wait until we got home and the boys went back to their mother.
After it happened (thinking we’d missed ovulation and just enjoyed it 😈), I checked the app and lo and behold, O day! We were planning on taking a break and just not preventing anymore instead of temping, using OPKs, testing early etc.
I’m not even excited about TTC chances at the point, I’m excited because if it were to happen this month, C is more on board than ever! We’re both healthier, we have worked on stabilizing our debt and and after a camping trip? We relaxed! 😍
All ingredients for a wee babeh!
We used nothing but sex and prenatals this cycle. I also only track cervix position, cervical fluid and basic health things: sleep, hydration and symptoms if any.
