Subject: I agree! No more downers! Here's my "Vow for the New Cycle". LOL! (m)
In reply to: Frenchie 's message, "OK, kids. Enough is enough. I'm going to conjure up a spell to get us out of this rut!! HARD TIMES BE GONE. PEACE OF MIND AND HEALTHY BODIES FOR ALL." on 01:27:24 05/12/03 Mon

A vow for the new cycle:

I will not be sad while AF is visiting. I will let her take her course, then move on with a smile on my face. Furthermore, I will not try to hold on to false hopes by still hypothesizing that this is simply "breakthrough bleeding" and that it might still stop and I might still get a BFP if I test. It is what it is. I vow to also stop checking CP because at this point, it's just messy and gross.

I will not take my temperature every morning, then retemping and retemping to see if I can get a higher number. I vow to put the thermometer away this cycle and not take sneak temps "just to check." I will further not
temp throughout the day and put false hopes on temps,
especially not after drinking a cup of hot coffee.

I vow to completely quit smoking cigarettes because this might be the root of all my problems. Nicotine thins the lining of my uterus which may be preventing any fertilized egg from implanting properly. I vow to be smoke free before ovulation time this cycle. I've got 14 days to accomplish this.

I vow not to buy "practice tests" or real tests until I pass the CD32 marker. Practice tests, early tests, and faint lines only make me broke as well as disappointed when
AF shows up. I vow not to sit on my balconey at different hours of the day trying to get the right lighting to see the faint lines, and I will not re-pee on old tests "just to see" if maybe it didn't work right the first time around.

I vow not to check my body every five minutes to see if anything's changed because I will always find something to count as RPS.

I vow not to obsess this cycle. I will keep track of only what day of the cycle I'm on and maybe BD days. I will not let my world revolve around TTC.

Finally, I will not feel disappointed, sad, beaten, or broken if AF shows up again at the end of this obsess-free trial run. I will get up and try again and will not give up.

LOL! (Okay, now I can start this cycle with the proper attitude. :)

-Jo
