Good morning, girls! I recieved my copy of TCOYF yesterday afternoon and all I can say is, "WOW!". I rushed through my typical chores last night so I could sit down and begin devouring this book. I literally did not want to go to bed because I was so into it. There has never been anyone in my life with whom I felt completely comfortable discussing my fertility (growing up, my mother would only refer to it as "girl stuff"). I feel that I've found that here at CMOMS and through TCOYF!! Thanks so much to all you ladies, and especially Plaid who recommended I buy TCOYF [clapping]

Furthermore, I had a complete "God" moment last night. First let me say that throughout the current cycle God has blessed me with a magnificent sense of peace, which I have been greatly lacking up until this time. I read in TCOYF that you're most fertile on the day when you have EWCM or the most vaginal wetness (this makes more sense to me since I've never measured CM). Well, on Monday I kept noticing extreme wetness. I even thought AF may have shown up at one time, but she was nowhere in sight. Monday night dh and I bd just like normal. Then, on Tuesday night I read that the day before could have been my most fertile and dh and I had taken full advantage of it!! :-D My state of mind right now is completely peaceful. I'm expecting a BFP because I pray with expectation in my heart. However, if this is not THE month I'll still be thankful for the opportunity to embark on amazing journey of discovery through FAM, or whatever you want to call it. I'm bustin' at the seams ladies!!!

Praying for rain, preparing for rain and expecting rain is the way to pray, Gal! I hope and pray with you that you get your BFP!! :)

Your post sounded exactly how I felt when I first picked up TCOYF! It's an amazing book and I never knew so much about the female reproductive system. It's amazing! Good luck for a BFP!

Awesome book, I learned so much stuff! I checked it out from the library some time ago and had to take it back but I found a copy at goodwill yesterday for .70!! They probably thought I was crazy because why would a 7 month pregnant gal need to take charge of her fertility, obviously it has already been dealt with ;) Anywho, ENJOY!!

I thought I would take a moment to update you guys. According to my calculations, I should be 12 dpo today. The hubby and I will celebrate our 1st anniversary tomorrow, May 24! I think it would be so neat to say, "We found out we were pg on our 1st anniversay." However, I don't want a BFN to put a damper on our day....that being said, I'm not sure if I'm going to POAS or not. I guess this isn't as much of an update post as a "What do y'all think?" post.

I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend!

AW! That would be so cool to get a BFP on your 1st anni! We went for our 10 week appt with ds on our first anni...very special!

Why don't you POAS tonight? or wait until first thing on Monday morning?
