Okay, so day five was boring too. And, let's throw in day six as well. Nothing exciting on the temperature scale and nothing absolutely convincing as far as a symptom. I suppose it is a bit ridiculous to hope for symptoms on day six.
So, I've come to the conclusion that infertility is directly linked to my Ebay habit. Yep, here I sit with my fertility anxiety searching for cute baby blankets on Ebay. I suppose subconsciously I hope that if I am penultimately prepared for a little one, then that is all the more reason that God should smile on me, a reproducitve smile that is. Yes, it seems each month I either search for some special item on Ebay for the baby (mind you, after once expecting triplets, we have a ton of baby stuff) or head to the store and allow myself to pick up something from the baby section--all the while convincing myself that this behavior is somehow keeping my baby dreams alive.
Unfortunately, the credit card bill usually arrives about the same time my period does. Talk about a rude awakening...

Oh yes, "shopping therapy." I am the ultimate ttc shopping therapy addict. I am so bad that I buy even baby things I don't like...for instance, we have this stroller that is just fine and since we plan on carrying our baby in a sling most of the time, we don't need a fancy stroller. But a month ago I almost talked my sweetie into us buying a really nice, fancy, very expensive stroller with all kinds of "extras." Hang in there. I always think that CD 4-8 are the most discouraging, and oh yes, boooooring and long.
Thinking of you,

I am glad I am not alone in my shopaholic status. Yep, we have tons of stuff we will probably never use. My friends who have babies just look at me weird and say "you have so much baby stuff." Hopefully I will get to use some of it soon!
Wishing you tons of luck this month!
Joy
