Ovulating??

October 26, 2006

CD# 29 I have come to the decision that my body has a mind of it's own. Today I sit CD29 and the 2nd time I have faint line on my OPK. And when I say faint, I mean yesterday I barely saw it and today it was there. Not as dark as the control line, but it was definately there. I have never been a 28 day cycle kind of girl except when I was on bc and here we are maybe ovulating. I have no idea. I bought the bible of ttc last month. The Taking Control of your Fertility. It's a good book. Told me lots of things that I didn't know about my own body. I seriously wondered if I have been ovulating, which my doc thought could be a possibility. So, needless to say, I had pretty much given up hope for this cycle. Now I see the glimmer. With the closing of the house, just a mere week away from tomorrow, I could have a new baby for the new house. But we will have to see what tomorrow's test brings. So, this weekend was pretty uneventful. We bought carpet for the new house and went out for a while. I was having a drink with a friend of mine, that I just happen to work with at my part time job, who just had a baby. She had a beautiful baby girl about 6 weeks ago. She is one of the people who knows that Jake and I are actively trying for a baby and the problems that we are having. I told her that it just seems wrong, and that you don't feel right because women are supposed to ovulate and have kids. They shouldn't have to take fertility drugs and what not. It's just not fair. She told me she understood and that It took her and her hubby a year to conceive. And a lot of the problems that she had sounds like the problems I am having. So, I hold hope out that soon I will have my own baby to have to go home to. Talking with her made me feel a ton better. Now I remember why I am friends with her. Since, I think I have successed in rambling tons, I will end this with a question. Now, I have read the insert in my OPK's front to back. Every kind I get and they all say the same thing. Test anytime of the day. Why is it that I have heard that testing first thing in the morning is a bad thing. I still do it anyway. You have to understand. I am the pee kid in my family. We have made the trip to Flordia to see Grandma and Grandpa tons of time and my siblings all tease me saying I have to stop at ever rest stop to write my name on the wall with a marker. Funny, Funny. Well, for me to limit my fluid intake is one thing, but why can't I just test in the morning?? Please someone talk to me and give me opinoins. Until next time... Baby Dust to all......
