Armed & Dangerous

Along with jumping on the blogging bandwagon, I've also made my presence known on the TTC bandwagon. We have been going back and forth (mainly back) about TTC a 4th baby. We've been in the limbo (mainly under the stick) since about July 2006. 1 month after my youngest was born, to be exact. It was at first a "if it happens, it happens, good" thing, but as of late (almost a year now) we've been charting, cm checking, poas like crazy, bd'ing like bunnies, and all in all, being very upset with MY body. DH's tests are fine, I have yet to continue my testing because they think everything is fine, we have 3 healthy, happy kids and had them without medication or complications. My OB has already suggested Clomid, but I'm not a fan of medicine, especially when I know [I think] that it can be done without medicine, but with more patience than anything. So, here we are making it public, yet again, that we still are, in fact, on this damn bandwaggon and I'm about to jump off. :)

So, here are my weapons:


BBT thermometer: $9.99 at Walgreens


I'm such a geek, I think it's fun to watch what my temperature may do in the morning, and I think it's just so fun to see it rising after ovulation - then I get the big fat negative pregnancy test and don't think it's fun anymore.

Moving on:

Answer Ovulation Test Strips:


Let me tell you, I'm glad there's 20 in there, because sometimes I test 3x's daily, just to make sure my peak didn't slip past me lol.

Answer pregnancy tests. Come on they're just like First Response, just CHEAPER! And who loves a bargain, I DO! They come in a bright orange box, can't miss them.


Then, the best for last, a FertilityFriend chart, they're so addictive and fun. So here's a shameless link to My Fertility Friend Chart.

Then we have the sex, which, I can't show you. Damn.
