On to Cycle 2

I had cramps and spotting yesterday afternoon, but it all stopped in the evening - so I was hoping that it was implantation (9DPO)... but no such luck. Mid-morning today, AF showed up. Awesome.


Though it sucks that I'm not pregnant and that my LP was only 9 days this month, I'm not as upset as I thought I'd be. I'm looking at the positives:

1. My first month off the pill, I did ovulate. It can take months for that to return, so I count myself lucky.
   
   
2. I'm going to have some wine with my dinner tonight, and it's going to be fantastic. I haven't drank a drop since the end of October, and it's amazing how much I miss it.



3. I'm having a fully-caffienated coffee tomorrow morning. Decaf sucks.



4. I'm not taking my BBT until after my period is done, in hopes that I can get back to a normal sleep pattern again (I've been setting my alarm for 6 every day for a month (inc. weekends) because you're supposed to temp at the same time each day. Now, I'm waking up HOURS before my alarm, anxious to temp - but this actually screws the temperatures up! I woke up at 3:30 one night, and last night I woke up at 12:30 and grabbed the thermometer still half-asleep. My husband was still awake and had to tell me it's not morning yet)
   
   
   

Hopefully Cycle 2 will be shorter in general, with a longer LP. Fingers crossed!
