Too many times this week but pertinent information... 4.19
April 19, 2007
I feel like I've been spending waaaaay too much time here this week, but I have all sorts of information for you all that I feel like I have to share... although really, not a huge deal.
Cycle start date: March 20
Ovulation Date: April 10
Possible implantation date: April 18
Yup, you read that right... I think. I hate to get excited, but... well here's the story.
According to typical cycles, I run about 30-34 days. I'm now on day 31 (which I'm not freaking out about yet). I was talking with a friend who heard Dh and I going at it (arguing). She asked if my temps were still high and attempted to explain that there are hormonal changes going on in my body right now, etc etc (duh). I escaped into our master bath with the doors to the bedroom and bath closed and said to her "I am SO pregnant right now". We went into the "what if's" and "what do you think so-and-so would say" and the "how do you think you'll tell them" stuff... and bam, I hang up the phone and start feeling that crampy, pre-period feeling. It was in my legs, my abdomen, etc. I then txt'd my friend, and a few others to say "cramping, probaby going to get a period tomorrow".
Then, shabam, no period...
and no more cramps.
Implantation???
Did I mention that I don't cramp generally at all, except when I am getting my period? So... I don't know, but when I explained it to Eddie he immediately started freaking out... "how's your temp?", "Do you feel anything yet?", "Any other symptoms?". ...and honestly, this is the first 2ww where I have NONE. No breast tenderness, no nausea, no real exhaustion (although I keep falling asleep early and then I wake up at 3am and can't fall back asleep til 5, when I have to get up at 6), nothin.
Within the past three days I've been getting heartburn pretty often (and that combined with a horrific mean streak, were the two signs that I was pregnant the first time).
I'm considering taking a test this weekend... and I have no idea how I want to tell Eddie, but I really want to tell him in a special way. I know that if we are we're going to send a pre-birthday wishes card to my brother Kyle, who will be 19 on May 11 that will say "Happy Birthday Uncle".
We may send Christmas cards to announce it... since the technical due date will be Christmas (40 weeks from the first day of my last period). Thirty-eight weeks from the ovulation date is a week later, on New Years Day.
Anyhow... everybody take care... and here's to a new set of three! (I'll post this weekend, and letcha know the results... if I test. I might wait til early next week so that the hcg will be flowing better, if it is).
