October 2, 2000

Well, since this is my first entry I will bring you up to speed on where we are. I am currently on CD2 of my sixth cycle. I have charted the whole way so I am getting very good at telling when I ovulate. I have recently purchased a fertility monitor from ClearPlan Easy. The instructions say it should start asking me to test around CD6 or so. I am getting excited to start using it.

So you know a little more about me, I work at the local university and spend a lot of time on the computer. My DH is an environmental civil engineer and is currently looking for a job closer to home (he works in a town just outside the city). Feel free to post on my board. I will no doubt read it often and reply. I have read the diaries since January and have posted on several boards since then.

Generally I O on day 14 of my cycle but the past two months have had me O’ing on day 10 and 11. I like it because it means my cycles are short. The luteal phase is always around 15 days so that shouldn't stop me getting PG.

On another note, I had to mention that the NHL season starts for my team on Saturday and I am getting very excited.

The leaves have started to change colour up here and the days are getting colder and colder. I guess I will have more to post next week when I have my fertility monitor results.

Bye,
Courtney
