Ovulation sex...
I'm not pregnant.
I got my period on Saturday, actually. I know I said I would update to let you all know! I was surprisingly upset about it, actually. Like I said on GP (for those of us who hang out over there just pining-- you know who you are! 
), I know we're TTA for good reasons, but it still stinks. We kept talking about what would happen if we were pregnant, how we would feel, what we would do money wise-- I kind of got use to the idea, then when I got my period I just felt... empty? It was weird.
Anyway, Greg said he didn't fully understand how I felt, but we had a nice long conversation about when we will TTC and that made me feel better. We talked about all the things we want to do first, what makes us nervous about TTC, what we're looking forward to, etc.
So, as a result of that conversation, if all our finances are in order, next fall we will be skydiving as a way to kick off our baby making process! haha
Re: Ovulation sex...
Love the skydiving idea! My girlfriend just jumped out of a plane to celebrate her birthday and invited anyone who wanted to participate to come - I declined since we were TTC then but a few others did jump. She said it was awesome.
I don't know which idea scares me more-- skydiving or having a child!
I'm glad you guys had a good talk about it.
It sounds like thinking about the things you want to experience before kids is going to help the time move along more quickly until it's time to TTC.
Matt casually let it drop the other night that we should probably start to talk about it when we get to our first anniversary. I guess that was the original plan, but I was still a little stunned and freaked out. I want kids, but it's always been a "someday" thing. That, and we're not as far along on the stability front as I'd been hoping. But... 30 creeps ever-closer and I have a feeling that I have a shorter fertility window than most (family history). So it might be one of those "ready or not, here we go!" things...
Its good that you discussed it! I know how you feel though its crazy when you think you might be and then you aren't! I at first when we decided to try thought it would be dang boom and presto baby on the way. It didn't happen that way and now I am good with if it happens it happens if it doesn't thats ok to. I am happy either way now. But I understand how you feel you are not alone. When you are thinking about that possible little life you get really excited when you are wanting it. HUGS!
