Bah humbug...
So, it's CD38 and I have started spotting, just a tiny bit. I'm bloated and crampy too. Since it's nothing more than a tiny amount of spotting, I'm going to hold off on calling this CD1 of my next cycle for now. I'd love to do nothing more than curl up on the couch with my comfy pants on and watch the 45th anniversary edition of Mary Poppins with a big bowl of popcorn, BUT there's a fun fair at my nephew's school and I'm taking my nephew to it. We're meeting my brother and S (his gf's daughter) there when my brother's done work.
So, if it starts to be a full flow by this evening, I'll put in for my Letrozole refill. I'm kinda bummed that I have to go through this again, but I'm still excited to give this whole thing a try. I'm debating on picking up a basal thermometer, as I'm doing the whole temp charting thing with a regular thermometer. Also, I'm going to set up a schedule to do the LH tests so I make absolutely sure I do them every time. I'm going to try to ensure that I'll be home every day when I have to do them. So far ovulation has occurred on CD22 with both cycles, but I know it can still change.
In other news, I had group today and I made a few breakthroughs in relation to my relationship with my mother while a couple of the others were talking. I realized that while the responsibilities I felt I had to take on when I was a teen have made me a better person, I'm still looking for the validation of what I did for my mum all those years. I'm still searching for her approval because I feel like I can't do anything right where she's concerned. I'm trying to be the 'perfect daughter' and failing miserably because I'm trying too hard to achieve perfection. Instead I need to just BE her daughter and be there for her. That's something to work on.
There was something else I wanted to add, but I have completely forgotten what it was. Oh well. It's time to go get ready to head to the fun fair. I think I'm going to lay out my pj's and make sure Mary Poppins is beside the DVD player for when I get home, cuz there's going to be lots of kids and pregnant women around. I'll need a pick me up later! Have a great evening ladies!
