Another Week...

December 11, 2006

CD# 45

TTC#1 since Jan. 2006.

Well, hello everyone. Last Friday, I wrote out this big entry basically moaning and groaning about everything and I clicked something and everything deleted. Oh, I was mad. So, I should have figured right then that it was going to be a long weekend. Last week was just a week in it's self.

On Monday after I wrote my entry, I went out for lunch with my SIL. She is funny and I love her to death. Well, we are talking and she kind of oops and tells me that her and my BIL are going to start trying for another baby. WHAT!! It blew my mind. She first of all only ever wanted 2 kids, and then she always said that if she did for some reason have 3 she would space them all apart by a couple years. Well, my nephew is 3.5 years old and my niece is 11 months old. UGH! How crappy do I feel that she can have 3 and I can't even concieve one. But I smiled and told her how cool it would be if we were pregnant at the same time. Which it would be... if it wasn't my first. Well, I am basically going to have to suck it up because dh's brother looks at her and she is pregnant. And I am not waiting a year. I don't mean to sound selfish, but I want it to not be all about her for awhile and be about me and Jake and our baby. I told him this and he agreed, so that made me feel better. So, we'll have to see what happens there.

Speaking of my dh, Jake, last week, he made me feel like I wasn't all alone in this. He basically told me that he would do whatever we had to to have a baby. I was so happy. It makes me feel better. With all this ttc stuff, it makes me feel like it's all my fault, but it made it our fault and that was great.

Speaking of ttc....

I think I ovulated finally. On like CD41 maybe. I decided to start my provera so I would get a new cycle in January most likely. Well, by the time I filled the prescription and took it, it was Wednesday (41) morning. Well, from Tuesday I went from 97.0 to 97.5 on Wednesday. And I have just been going up from there every morning. Today it was 97.8 and it has never been that high before. Either way, I should find out before xmas. And I made an appt for Jan 3rd to go to the doc. because I didn't think I would ovulated. I figure I will test maybe a week from today or this weekend. I don't have any HPT in the house or I probably would have already. I have been way moody the last couple of days, as well as nauseous. My boobs are the same size.... i think and they aren't tender, so who knows. I did take a OPK this morning and it was a definate positive. The test line was way darker than the control line. So, this is my question to all you ladies. I know that OPKs read postive when you are pregnant, but do they still read positive if you aren't and you ovulated a couple days earlier. I should just calm down and not worry about it. I just can't help it.

To top it all off, my sister will be home on Saturday. My younger sis is by far my absolute best friend, besides Jake. She has been studing abroad in Ireland for the semester and I miss her terribly. She is ready to come home and I am ready to be able to call her than wonder if I will catch her with email or not. She has been so worried that I would get pregnant while she was gone and she would miss out on everything. But it would be soo cool to be able to tell her that I am pregnant when she gets home. So, maybe I will sneak a test Friday morning. Also, I am in cahoots with her boyfriend to bring him with me when I pick her up from the airport, so she is going to be in overload on Saturday. I am so excited.

Tiffany- My hubby did freak when he saw all the stuff I did, but I got more done while he was gone than when he is home.

Amanda- I live in Burlington WI. It's like an hour south of Milwaukee and 30 mins west of Racine. Unfortunately the snow is melting, it's going to be like 40 all week up here.

Ok, so questions for everyone...

How long do OPKs test postive?

Should I stop taking the provera in case I am pregnant. My doc told me that it is ok to take if you are pregnant.

How early do you think I can test with HPT. First high temp was wednesday 12/6, so it that O day?? I think so. So then it I did it 10dpo it would be Friday the 15th. Hummm.

Anyone recommend early HPT's?? I usually buy the cheapest ones.

Come talk with my on talk to me board. I lurk around all the time.

Xmas...13 days and counting....

Baby Dust to all.... Shannon
