cycle 12, day 15

as the fertility window closes for this cycle, i feel confident that we did our very best.

ovulation days: 12, 13
attempts: 11 (p.m.), 13, 14

can't do much better than that. of course, it will be a long two-week wait this time, since this is one of my longer cycles. so we're looking at about a 28 or 29 days, total... meaning my period should come by the end of next weekend. hopefully the time will go quickly and i won't dwell on it too much. i haven't obsessed much these past couple of months, but given the fertility doc's optimistic stance and our diligent efforts i think i'll do a bit more anticipatory toe-tapping this time around. the hubby, too... which is cute. he's been very conscious of my cycle and asked a lot of questions about how everything works. things i feel like i've explained to him before, but whatever. it's nice to see how much he's bought into the process now, rather than just being dragged along with my "i'm getting old!" freak-out. my therapist says all of this matters in the grand scheme of things. it's hard for me to believe that there's truth in that, but she in convinced that if we both weren't ready, it wasn't the time. and we're better than we've been in years... maybe, ever, honestly. if nothing else, it makes the struggle easier to handle. and so... we wait. but together! which is progress. :)
