On the TTC front, I am now in that terrible waiting stage. According to an ovulation calendar, I was supposed to ovulate on Sunday 29th for a 34 day cycle but I really think I ovulated last Wednesday (the 25th). I was at basketball and I had this terrible ache in my lower tummy on the right side. It lasted a couple of hours so I am presuming it was "O". By checking my CP it also felt "high and open", as they say, so that could have been it. If so then I suppose this should be a 30 day cycle, which could be true for me. But then I have also been thinking, I could have a longer luteal phase than the expected 14 days. It is said that you can have a luteal phase from 12 to 16 days, so maybe I am one of the longer ones. If so, then this cycle may be a 32 day cycle which makes more sense. Have I confused everyone yet? This is all too complicated! I just hope we were successful this month. DH and I didn't DTD as much as I would have liked, we missed a few days in between but we DTD on the Wednesday that I think I "O"ed and also the Monday before so hopefully that is good. I suppose I will just have to wait and see.

It is DH's birthday next week, the 8th. He will be 29! You never know, I might be able to give him an extra surprise! I hope so! I suppose all the in-laws will come over then as well, great joys! I don't know about Natalie (sister-in-law) though. DH says he doesn't care anyway. I got him a little butane gas soldering torch that he wanted. He reckons it will be good at work when he needs to solder cables and there is no power. He is just a tool junkie! But it makes him happy, so that is what counts.

I don't know whether I am reading too much into things too early or not, but my taste buds have been terrible today. This morning I had Weet-Bix for breakfast and the milk on them tasted funny. I asked DH if he thought it tasted funny and he said no. I now have this really foul taste in my mouth and I don't know why. When I was PG last time, my taste was all strange also. I think I may be just getting my hopes up really early. I didn't think it was possible to feel symptoms this early. I have also had a tight tummy all day, similar to period pain. Who knows! I don't think I will ever understand my body totally! I also don't want to get too excited too early.

On that note, I think I have said enough for this entry so........everyone, have a good week and lots of positive thoughts to all.
