Ahh, I really think I'm out of the race this month. My temperature took a nose dive again today. In fact, I would say I should start my period tomorrow, a day early.

It's not over until the Old Witch shows her face of course (Old Witch = Aunt Flo, which is a cute message board name for one's period). But let me tell you, my body is sending all the signals for her to visit.

So, what happened? Well, it's pretty obvious that we had great BD timing. When my egg was released, there were sperm there (unless there is some problem with them). From what I understand however, even if the sperm find the egg, there is a chance fertilization will still not occur. The egg only lets certain sperm fertilize it. It is unknown why, out of perhaps dozens of sperm the egg will choose only one, or none. Perhaps the genetic code of the sperm send out certail signals, and the egg in effect chooses the best sperm. Perhaps my egg last month was particularly picky. What a bitch she was, thinking she was so much better than everyone else! But, I guess having choosey eggs leads to a better baby, right?

There are of course other potential problems - sperm problems, or cervical mucus problems. But, I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually. We'll just keep at it month after month until we win! 50% of couples conceive in the first 4 months, so we've got a good chance to get pregnant pretty soon here! Maybe even before we move into our new house. ;)
