wait. okay... well, yeah, i kinda am - here goes!
i am a fertility junkie. it's official and i want a badge - cause i am damn good at graphing and charting and obsessing over the little things like slight dizziness, being tired, and most of all observing the state of my cervix. thus far i have purchased ovulation predictor kits (OPKs if you are down with the fertile-lingo), a basal thermometer, prenatal vitamins and b6 supplements, and i've checked ridiculous piles of books out from the library that concern baby-making. i stalk blogs and am *constantly* logged onto the good ole fertility friend site and i look at and adjust my chart no less than 40 times a day.
i totally see why MoDG referred to it as "fertility frenemy"... cause that one, she's a bitch! (FF not MoDG - just to be clear!) don't get me wrong, i am in love with it but damn if it doesn't make me cra-zay!
rather, i make myself crazy. see, i started charting about half way through my cycle so it's really anyone's guess as to how to interpret the information i've gathered thus far since there is really nothing to compare it to.... and that's exactly where the trouble begins! i can change any number of variables and the interpretation of my chart changes drastically with it. i can spent countless hours doing this, no problem! but here's the thing: i love it! i can't wait to get up every day to check my temp and signs and add the info to the chart - so. much. fun! (keep in mind i am also the girl who loved to play school and secretary as a kid - if you let me organize and have white out, gem clips, staplers and highlighters, i will do ANYTHING for you. except your taxes. i fucking hate taxes.)
now, i must interrupt this post to show you that i am going to be a terrible/wonderful mom should the day ever arrive:
terrible, because after i found this mess:
i just took pics and let them go back to tearing up toilet paper because it just made them so effing happy.
and wonderful, (if i do say so myself), because i just took pics and let them go back to tearing up toilet paper because it just made them so effing happy. [there's no part of you that's going to be terrible. you've just illustrated pure awesomeness.]
i'm off to chart-obsess now. (my next mission is to get L off the birth control pills so she can't start charting too! then i'll have TWO charts to obsess over! hooray!) [I seem to be slipping further away from the charting realm, but I am so excited about your charts that it's sorta counts. Just think of it as if you are charting for two.]
