Here we go again!
I knew this wouldn't be our month, I'm quite sure we skipped over O, but it's still disappointing to not get a bfp before Christmas. This means that there won't be a bfp at all in 2015. Hopefully that means 2016 will start off with a fun adventure!
This cycle was the last one for a summery baby, which stinks because I hate having babies in the middle of winter. However, it might encourage me to get down South by next winter even more!
Bill has always wanted an October baby, so I know he's going to try like crazy this next cycle. It's the first time we ever had a real shot at it. I would much rather a spring baby as opposed to a late fall baby, but I also don't want to wait until almost summer to start trying. I'd like my bfp as soon as possible, please! I don't really have time to be picky with birthdays, since we want to have this next baby up North before we move and have different insurance, which means asap. We have the opportunity to move starting next month (January), but we're holding off moving for now since we want this baby and Will has a hernia that needs to be watched and probably have surgery on in the next 6 months.
So hurry up, bfp! We're both very eager for our next little one and have so many plans!

Cy2, CD22
I'm CD 22. I have no idea when to expect AF after last cycle. I feel like I might get it early.
However, I'm alright with it. I want a normal cycle, but have made peace with a bfn coming. I'm now focused on the Christmas season. I have about a dozen different treats to make, and Katie is loving Christmas carols and movies so we've been having lots of fun.
In my mind, we're on a Christmas break and we'll resume TTC on the next cycle, which places O about 3-4 days after Christmas.

CD somewhere past O, cycle 2.
Well, I'm pretty sure now what happened last month. I had the idea, and apparently Bill did too. What's currently going on sort of confirms our thoughts, though I debated against recording it. To keep things straight though, I decided I should.
Last month we definitely hit ovulation, twice a day every day beforehand, then during.
Then I got my period just one week after ovulation, at Cd23. I have never gotten a period so early, even when heavily nursing or still adjusting after a baby. I've never skipped an entire week of a cycle before. Especially when I knew the exact day I O'ed.
And then the AF itself was all wrong. Clots happened before bleeding. It lasted a total of 7-8 days, when I'm normally only ever 4-5. My heavy day are normally the first 2-3 days only, and AF was very heavy until day 6. It even looked different in color.
This month, I'm emotionally insane for no reason. I'm super sappy and gushy. I'm super clingy and connected to Bill. My sex drive is through the roof and completely insatiable. All these things happened exactly like this right after I miscarried Elizabeth.
So now we're pretty sure that we didn't just fail at getting pregnant. We probably were successful in getting sperm to meet egg, but either it didn't form properly or didn't attach correctly, etc. All the signs showed that it started to happen, but didn't work out. I'm really glad I didn't test early, because I think it would have been crushing to see that. Having it be just speculation sucks enough.
At the very least, hopefully that's the last cycle that is messed up and it's not the start of multiple months of an undependable cycle.
As for this month, we NTNP. I purposely didn't keep track of my cycle days, though I'm quite sure I'm about two days after ovulation now. I believe AF is due around December 14th, so we'll see how that goes.
