Already planning when to test

[mswax]

So after a very confusing cycle 1, I got a high reading on my CBEFM today (CD13). I figure I'll be O'ing later this week, and I'm already planning when to test.

I would really like to get a BFP on Nov. 21. It's the anniversary of my mom's death (she passed away 3 years ago), and what a wonderful gift it would be if something happy could happen on that day.

So am I crazy to be thinking about that already?

I would never use the word "crazy" -- just make sure you manage your expectations. Would you be able to handle getting a BFN on the three-year anniversary of your Mom's death?

Remember that even if your body is working perfectly and you time everything right, you still only have a 20-25% chance of success each month. TTC is enough of a mind-fuck...just be careful how much pressure you put on yourself, especially on cycle 2.

Fingers crossed for you, though:-)

villan is just bursting with wisdom today! I agree with her.

I think that would be a beautiful, wonderful thing for you to have it happen that way, and sometimes life hands us graceful moments like this.

Other times we are disappointed yet again. I am not trying to be a downer, I just think it sounds like a delicate situation and I would hate to have you get the wrong kind of news and then that be multiplied by a million because it was the anniversary of your mom's passing.

I hope you get that bit of grace tho! fx
