Still waiting to ovulate and driving myself bonkers with this TTC (trying to conceive) hoopla. I'm on Day 19 and signs indicate I'll be ovulating soon. I (barely) avoided buying a thermometer and ovulation test strips today, but I did buy some pregnancy tests in faith that I'll have reason to use one soon. We have never "tried" before; Haven was a flukey (but very welcome) surprise, but we always prevented in one way or another before that. We're only in cycle one and I'm already so antsy. I have a whole new respect and sympathy for those who have been up and down this road for months and years.
My quirky mind likes to think that the little troops are waiting around at a gents-only, spermy expat bar (called, say, The Tube), for the egg to make her grand stage appearance. Maybe they're having a pint and a cigar in there, ribbing each other in friendly competition, exchanging strategies. Y'know, sperm conversation starters.
"I'm gonna get 'er this time!"
"No - I am!"
"There she is! CHARRRGE!"
It's a good thing we have a sense of humour about this, considering everything. It is still an emotional thing to be thinking about another pregnancy so soon, but I feel good about the fact that we're in this place.
Good luck, boys! May the best gent win!
