my cycles are confusing

As of today, I am DPO 7 and CD 23. I ovulated a little later than normal and I am also aware that my projected AF date is on CD32, I've never gotten AF on CD32. CD31 has been the longest cycle I've had since March at least. And my cycles vary from 27-31 days. So it's kinda difficult to be appropriately excited/nervous/shitting myself scared/wanting to POAS, but is it too early?... I really have no idea when to expect AF this month. I know I ovulated a little later, but does that necessarily mean AF will be later too?

I really am keeping myself busy so I dont read into symptoms and just to help to not think about it all day long...see my last post if you want proof...haha. But really...I am pretty go with the flow this 2WW and hopefully it stays that way!


I will keep you all updated on my cycle, and hopefully I will be able to report a BFP!

Welcome and Introductions

Hello there!
My name is Nikky Fischer, I am 26 years old and I currently work as a lead preschool teacher and assistant director of my daycare. My husband Scott is 25, and we have been married for 9 months. He owns his own farm, and is renovating our house into a two family. I am writing this blog as a way to document our journey in trying to conceive (TTC). I also would love to find a ttc community to help pass the time in the two week wait (2WW).
A little bit about myself:
I am 5'4", 240lbs. (definitely heavier than i would want to be ideally, but i love myself!) 
I love to garden, and conserve as much as possible. I am very crafty and create many things. I love love love to cook! I love the challenge of mixing flavors and textures. This challenge became even more difficult when i started eating gluten free 1.5 years ago. (more on that later) I enjoy walking, love hiking and swimming! But most of all enjoy spending time with my amazing husband! (Insert Awwww....) 

This is TTC cycle 1. 

I am currently DPO 4, on CD 18. here is my chart on fertility friend http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3d5e31 

I am exhausted today. I went to bed early enough.(Not my normal time, but still before 11) so i know i shouldn't be tired from lack of sleep. i even slept in later, and took a quick snooze around noon today. i just cant shake it. I don't know if its allergies, or b/c i mowed my brother's lawn yesterday and my body is sore. I just don't know. i guess time will tell, but of course i am over analyzing everything! 

Ive been following a few YT mommies and their ttc, pregnancy, mommy vlogs. I will add their pages below so you can find them as well.

Here is my journey thus far: 

A few months ago, I began getting baby fever. My husband and I have been married for 9 months as of tomorrow. :) I began searching for midwives/doulas/birth centers/etc so i could be more informed when the time came. I came across a doula in my area named rachel. we corresponded through emails and she recommended a doctor that supports natural childbirth, a few midwives,  and a few other resources. One of those resources was the documentary "The Business of Being Born" and I youtubed it to see if i could find any clips. Well low and behold, I came across the full documentary! I watched it twice in the same day! And 3 more times since then. Well thanks to the magic of YT, it suggested other videos that were similar, and i began watching other homebirth videos. Including Lucy and Joel Eades of xxxjoelpolexxx. And my obsession began. From their videos, i found other YT mommies and all of their stories. i fell in love with home birth. I knew for a long time that i wanted to cloth diaper my children and following these lovely ladies and only cemented my decision. I have always wanted to breastfeed, and baby wear so i felt so much at home with their stories. Now, if only i had a decent working camera to make some TTC videos!

Anyways, so far, I have made a few purchases and also sewn a few things as well. Our local JoAnn's was having a huge moving sale so i found some PUL and other materials for great deals. I made my first cloth pocket diaper! It turned out cute! Also, i made a taggy soft block, and a cute little owl toy. I also made some inserts out of old towels. I bought a 3 pack of white Carter's onesies and 2 fancy pants one size pocket diapers. http://fancypantsdiapers.com/
