CD 2

Cycle day 2, you say it enough times in your head and it begins to come out like the monologue at the beginning of star trek. Of course, "cycle day 2; I am traversing the increasingly impassable road works outside my home inorder to get to work," is some what less glamorous than what Kirk (who am I kidding, Picard all the way!) and his crew may have been up to on any given star date. Unless of course you are talking about that episode with the space hippies, but I digress...

So yes cycle day 2. Up until 3 months ago I had not given much thought to hormones, or ovulation, or periods. I took my little yellow pill in the morning and it was all sorted, thank you very much. But since June I have neglected my little yellow pills for those of the honking great prenatal vitamin variety, which are rather more kacky in colour. But its cool, even if they do stick in your throat, because we are trying for a baby, and that is exciting as hell.

And so I have discovered a whole new vocabulary, a lot of it abbreviated, TTC, BFP, DTO and a little bit of WTF, which is where the cycle days come in. Well its all a little new for me and because you cant exactly talk about periods or mucus (yes mucus, evidently its important) at work, I thought I might start a blog to nut it out. I haven't written regularly about myself since I was a teenager, but I enjoyed it then and so I am hoping I will enjoy this too, and hopefully I might learn something about my self along the way.

Also now when older people ask what I do, I will say I am a blogger and watch them pitch a fit about genY.

What fun.

PS I promise not to write any more about mucus
