May 8, 2000

C#3,CD#28

Not much new here to report. It's CD 28 today and no show of AF yet. I hope she skips me this month. As you have read that my cycles are usually 26 days. Well the last two have been that. I think if she doesn't show by the time I leave work I'll go buy a test and either test tonight or in the morning, if AF doesn't show. I'm not sure if there are tests out there that you can test without using the first morning urine or not. I'm new to this stuff so I'm not sure what to do. I have had a few people tell me to wait until CD 30 but I'm getting rather anxious.

And it would be really cool if it was ++ because then we could tell our families on Mother's Day this weekend. My Mom would just love that! I have a big feeling that AF will show so I guess I shouldn't be too excited, but I really can't help it. I wish I could remain calm and not spend every waking minute thinking about it. I go in tomorrow for my ultrasound to see if there is a cyst or something wrong in my female system so then if I did test ++ I could have a blood test done when I went for that appointment. That would be good.

Well, I hope everyone had a good weekend. I did. It was so nice out. We had a wienie roast/bonfire Saturday night. And my in-laws came out and my SIL and her children and my parents and my niece. It was a very nice night to have a bonfire. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and had s’mores. Then on Sunday, DH and I didn't do much of anything. We watched a movie and I cleaned some. We went for a ride in the country and went to Dairy Queen to get some ice cream. It was a nice day and very relaxing.

I have been feeling OK. I haven't had any more pains like I did. I'm pretty sure it isn't anything serious. I talked to my cousin who works in my OB office and she said that she's had a cyst on one of her ovaries for a few years and it wasn't anything to worry about. So from talking to her I'm not very worried. But I am gonna have the ultrasound done to see if there is something wrong down there or not. She also told me that when a person has a cyst, and they get PG, they shrink in size and have less a tendency to be painful, so she told me to hurry up and get PG. I told her that we're working on it.

Well, not really much else to post so I'll go for now. I hope the rest of you are having ++ thoughts for yourself. I know I am, for me and all of you!!!

Take Care and Hugs,
Jenn
