Jen & Jake's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

December 21, 1999


Well, here I am on day #26... I've been staring at the calendar all day trying to figure out where I'm at. I know I ovulated on day #12 or #13 which actually is kind of early for me... but the signs were obvious, and since my LP is never that long... usually 14 to 16 days (16 being long ), I figure today would be about the time I should start my period. Well, in my last entry I noted how I had been spotting , not even really spotting, just brownish CM -- well, it stopped yesterday and haven't seen anything today either. Everything is ummm, "clear".

So, if I figure right, looking at the days, I ovulated on December 7th/8th and since today is the 21st, that was exactly 14 days ago. Of course, I could be totally wrong. No symptoms really, but no AF symptoms either. Usually if I spot or have tainted CM, it just runs into my period which all of a sudden turns darker and darker until its bright red. Well, none of that and it totally stopped too. So I don't know, I don't think I've obsessed as much as I have in the past few days, I think mostly because of the holidays and it being just before Christmas and my fantasy of getting to tell everyone on Christmas morning... yada yada yada. My heart flutters just thinking about it. I broke down in tears yesterday, and knees to the floor begging God for a baby. I haven't done that before... I usually don't show any emotion about it and just feel the disappointment inside. I fell apart yesterday wanting it so badly. It's all I want.

Anyway, I will test in the morning, and I will write a second post to let you know what happens. Please pray for us. It's all I have been doing all day -- praying, pleading, begging. I heard that song on the radio by Garth Brooks today... "Unanswered Prayers" and I shut it off!! I love that song, but not right now, it's too much of a downer... I take lyrics wayyyy to literally.

OK, girls, keep your fingers crossed.... no AF, only POSITIVES!!! +++++++++
