TTC#1, C#6, CD#25
Hello there,
OK, so I feel very confused. I have no idea what's
going on with my cycle this month. Usually, I chart, I
temp and I see where it's going. But if I were to
guess, I'd say I'm experiencing an anovulatory cycle
this month. But I'm not even sure about that! Ergs!
There's nothing more frustrating than outright
confusion.
Here's my story. First of all -- the good news. DH's SA came back A-OK! I am thrilled about this -- one less thing to have to consider! But here's what's going on with my cycle. I kept on having a negative OPK for four days after the instructions told me to start using it. On CD 21 I had a pretty light positive on the OPK. But it was gone the next day. On CD#22, my temps went up past the coverline. But it's a really low coverline. The past couple of days, it is above the coverline but only on second testing. If I temp once it's below, but if I temp immediately again, it's back above. That's without moving or anything. Could my new thermometer be messed up??
So, on Thursday I go to the doctor. I am having my annual exam and then we're going to go over my charts, and I'm going to get my blood tested. I'm really curious to see what she says. I'm not worried if she says I didn't O -- I just want to know what to do about it! And why am I not worried? Because of these diaries. They make my TTC worries go away. There's always someone going through the same thing -- and they're always willing to lend a positive voice!
Wow -- I think that's the most I've ever written on the TTC front in an email!
As for what else is going on -- well, not a lot! We put up our Christmas lights on the weekend so I'm starting to get more and more festive! This weekend we'll put up the decorations in the house. Fun, fun! I'm going to do a bit of Christmas shopping on the weekend with a girlfriend, but I'm saving most of my pennies for the trip to South Carolina. Nine days to go! My girlfriend called me on the weekend and told me that it was below freezing and snowing there! It's above freezing here!! Oh well -- we'll be having too much fun to worry about the weather.
We're thinking of buying a new vehicle and I know what I want -- either a Mazda Tribute or a Ford Escape. Now the negotiations begin!!
Well, I'd better get going. Positive thoughts to all!
Jenn
