YAY for AF!!

So she came on her own again this month. I'm on CD4 today.
I'm very happy about this and I just hope that it keeps up for when we are ready to start to work on baby #2. With PCOS, you just never know. My cycle was a little longer last month than it has been in a while but only by 2 days. I'm hoping it's because it was my right side that released. My left side is pretty much a 35 day cycle. I'll just have to keep tabs on everything, just so that when we are ready to try again, I will already know how things look.
It's scary to think that we will be going down that path again. The ups and downs and countless times I will have to POAS. I am sure I will also worry about how it will all affect my lil princess. With another baby while she's young means that I will be taking away my time with her. But I think that may be more of a problem for me than for her. It's such a mixed bag of emotions.
DH is also looking into other opportunities, one of which means that he would be away from us for about 6 months. That's a long time. I know it would be for the greater good (the greater good*), but it would be tough. OK, I'm getting ahead of myself here. I still have some time before we start TTC, so until then, back to basics. Just gonna monitor my cycles :)


* I can't say the line "the greater good" without repeating it because of the movie Hot Fuzz. Just thought I would fill you in so you don't think I'm too crazy!!

She's here, she made it!

I'm glad AF is here. She arrived Monday morning. I would have been very happy if she didn't show and we were preggers. And I'm happy she's here as well. At least it means that my system is still working as it should.
So, I have to keep up with the vitamins and weight loss.
Hopefully, this will keep me regular and when it comes time to work on TTC again, we won't have the same issues as before.

A little worried - but I shouldn't be...should I?

My Dr had told me to start working on baby # 2 about 4-6 months after DD was born. I did have a regular AF at the beginning of Feb and I thought, yay, a normal period!! Because of the PCOS, I don't have regular AFs. Well, things got a little out of hand recently with DH and oops. Now because of the PCOS and no regular AF, I have no real way of knowing when I O'd. I was able to figure it out when we conceived DD because I was being monitored and was having a regular AF at the time of about 35 days. All this to say that I am now waiting for AF to show. Not too long ago, I dreaded when she made her appearance because it meant that another month was a bust on the TTC train. Funny how that is!!!
I'll be honest though, I'm a little nervous at any possibility of being preggers at this point. DH says it will be fine either way, we'll get through it. I know we would, but it would be crazy!
I'm still trying to wrap my head around starting to try again in a few months for another baby!! DD would be under 2 when the next baby arrives - if I'm not broken again. And of course, I worry about taking her time with me away from her. And putting focus on a new baby. It's all just so crazy!!
I'm getting ahead of myself here. I'll just take it one day at a time and focus on AF showing up any day now...any day now.

This and that

The only recipe I made on Sunday was 0 pt spaghetti sauce. It's actually not bad at all. I used it last night as pizza sauce on whole wheat crust. Very tasty!
Let's see if I am going to finally make my low-fat banana bread this weekend. I have been promising my hubby for almost 3 weeks now. But this is the first weekend in a while that we don't have to run like crazies so it might actually happen.

AF still hasn't showed her face. I'm starting to believe my RE that I didn't ovulate. I have had some weird things going on with my body but I could just be making them happen.
If I don't have AF by the weekend, DH and I have decided that I will POAS on Sunday morning. I know I am going to be heart broken to see a BFN but, I need to know to put my mind at rest.

I haven't exercised as much as I usually do this week. I seem to be having trouble sleeping so I am waking up exhausted. I know I have to do it if I want to continue to lose weight. It'll be better next week.
