TTC #2 C2 CD15
Professional charters, help me out here! I am so confused. I don’t know if I am considered to have ovulated today, or what! Arrgh! Wow, this is going to be the second entry in 3 days! I wrote an entry for 3/30/02 if anyone missed it. Anyway, take a look at my chart if you like a mystery. And I think the temp at 97.4 is bogus. It should probably be around 97.8, like all the others.
Here’s my chart: http://www.tcoyf.com/cgi-bin/chart.pl/candace79
I have been taking OPKs since CD11. All of them were negative, except I took one yesterday afternoon that looked faintly positive. I am thinking I had a bad batch of OPKs. I usually use the Answer type, and have never had any problems. This month, I was using some other kind, that I bought from Craig Medical, called Be Sure. Even the control line was really light on them. I took one Be Sure, and one Answer one yesterday. Hmmm. I also had major cramping yesterday afternoon. And, this morning, I had a temp rise, from the usual 97.8 to 98.1. So, maybe I am 1 dpo, but I am not sure. And, if I am 1 dpo, does it make sense to BD again tonight? Al is getting a little tired of all it. I never thought that was something that could happen to any man, let alone him! Ha!
Also, please say a prayer for my father. I finally called my family yesterday (I haven’t called them since January, I’ve been rather lazy), and found that my father had a TIA stroke in February. He has made a full recovery, because that’s how transient ischemic attacks work. I pray that he won’t have another one. He is now on blood thinning medication, and medication to control his high blood pressure. I feel just awful that I didn’t call them sooner, and that we didn’t visit them this Easter. I am so scared to lose a family member, and because all of my grandparents died (as far as we know, even my father’s mother is dead) long before I was born. Dad isn’t in the best of health, and neither is my mom, but I want Alexandria to actually be able to remember her grandparents. Anyway, I hope the medication does the trick.
Well, I will probably write an update later this week, to keep everyone updated on what’s going on. Also, I had a question about implantation: as in when does it happen? How many dpo?
Good luck this week ladies, and welcome to all the new writers!
Candace
