Ovulating?

So, another month has gone by and we're frustrated.

I know, I know..... we have to wait this out, considering it takes couples on average of 3-6 months to get pregnant. But last month I was diligent on the charting and I observed that my temperature never increased.  Apparently once you've ovulated, you're temperature increases due to progesterone being released.  And once the temperature has increased, it is indicative that you've indeed ovulated.  Then you're temperature stays high until you're period has ended.

Mine never increased.  Yikes.... there are a few things that this can mean so I made a doctor's appointment for this week.  I don't want to stress yet.  Plus, I know that my body is still rebounding from my competition, so I have to be patient with that process as well.

In the mean time, I can continue to try to monitor my diet, my caffeine, my alcohol and exercise.  What I think I need now is meditation or yoga.  My type A personality needs to chill out.  And for me to do this successfully, of course, I have to plan to relax and find a method that works. Ha!
