Still tracking...

over the weekend i read a lot about taking baby aspirin to help get the uterus lining ready for the egg, so naturally i went out and got some last night. :) of course, it wasn't till this morning that i realized i won't be needing it for several months, but oh well. i'll have it!

i've been tracking my temp for a few days now, but my problem is this... i "wake up" several time in the morning, starting before 5:00. i just open my eyes and roll over to check the clock then realize i still have a few more hours. i dont do it every morning, but 9 times out of 10 i do. so since i dont even start getting out of bed till after 8:00 i set my alarm for 8:00 and roll over and take my temp then. im just concerned that all of the movement between 5:00 and 8:00 will have made a difference in my temp. and i'd like to take my temp the firs ttime i check the clock, but some mornings its 4 something, other times its not till 8 something.

and also - i dont go to bed till after midnight (i work till almost 9:00), so taking it at 4 (if i set my alarm for that time to take it) barely gets me the approx. 5 hours of sleep required.

argh, kinda frustrating... but like i said, i've just started. i need to give it a cycle or two to see what it actually says. :)

i donated blood this weekend as well - since i wont be able to do that in a few months, i figured this was my last shot. and let me tell you - for the first time my iron was high enough to actually donate! i have to believe its because of the vitamins ive been taking!

my paperwork is ready to be sent off to the "bank" this week - and then i can call and order the swimmers... i cant even begin to tell you how excited i am. :)



p.s. i forgot to mention - the prenatal vitamins im taking havent upset my stomach at all. i take them in the morning with a full glass of water and a piece of toast (or some cereal)
