CD 97 1 dpo

Yeah! That's 1 d.p.o.!! I took my temperature this morning and it was 0.594 degrees Fahrenheit higher than yesterday! We have ourselves a spike-yay! So it is safe to assume I ovulated yesterday, until proven otherwise.

I feel like total crap! I think it's the after effects of the flu, I have been in pain all day with indigestion and gas (ew, I know.) It is possible that it is due to ovulation, though, but I really think it's just because I was sick.

I had some spotting today, which worried me, but I read online that sometimes ovulation spotting can occur after the actual ovulation day, and because I always spot before my period, I figure it's okay.

Hoping for another spike tomorrow!

After taking my temperature this morning and putting the information into my chart online, it told me I ovulated three days ago. Not cool! I added some more info, like the fact that I think it was fever that elevated my temp and that I had two positive OPK's, and it started to reassess. It doesn't detect ovulation at all now, which is good, and after I take my temp for a couple days I am hopeful it will pinpoint ovulation either yesterday or today.

I took a couple OPK's today, and both were negative, a bit fainter than yesterday's. I will keep taking the tests every day until the line disappears, to make sure I don't get another surge.

It seems after reading online that "1 d.p.o." will be the day I get the first temperature spike, which hopefully will be tomorrow. But I will start charting symptoms now so I can keep track.

Guess who is ovulating?! ME! I was in complete shock when I saw the faintest line on my OPK, something I'd never seen before. It wasn't positive, as the test line needs to be at least as dark as the control line, but I knew that meant it was coming. The next couple days the lines darkened, which was so unbelievable to me!

Then I got the flu. Well, Montana got it first, and then I did within an hour, and so did Tristan. It was debilitating, and I was devastated. I haven't had the flu in years, and then it hits me right when I ovulate and have the tiniest window of fertility?? Not fair.

Yesterday I am sure my OPK was positive, I took it between vomit sessions, and I texted SD2 a few times until he finally got back to me--he wasn't expecting to hear from me so soon. Well, neither was I! These tests were a complete surprise to me, and I'm just glad I took a chance and peed on a stick!

I stayed in bed for almost 24 hours, and this morning I felt better. I took another test, and the line was pretty faint. I worried it may have been too early in the day, so I tested again a few hours later and it was positive. So I had two positives in a row, I read one wrong, or I'm having a long surge.

Also, my temperatures have skyrocketed. I think it's too soon for it to be attributed to ovulation, I think it's the flu, so this is making my charts very difficult to read.

I wanted to take advantage of the window I have/had, so after talking to SD2, I had him come over. We signed the contracts, and now I'm praying as hard as possible. I'm not sure when I'll officially be in the Two Week Wait, I'll have to see what my temp does tomorrow. Fingers crossed!!

This has been a roller coaster week for me. I was very, very down, as low as I could get, dealing with the news from the doctor. I talked to Rose last night and talked it out with her, which upset me but also made me feel better talking it out. She is so close to the end, it's very exciting! There are just a couple weeks until she is officially due, and I cannot wait.

My temperatures have been pretty steady, not really anything to report with that. The reason I am blogging today is because I finally met SD2 tonight! We went for coffee, and wow, he is perfect. I am more attracted to him than I expected, which is a good thing and a bad thing, but it can work for me. The plan now is to get together when possible, and if I have a positive OPK we'll increase the visits. I am taking it one day at a time, because if I get my period I'm not sure what I will do afterward. Right now, I am hoping for a miracle, and suspecting I will enjoy the next few weeks.

FRUSTRATION!!!

I am feeling a bit of frustration. Okay I am feeling A LOT of frustration. It has been six weeks since I first went to the doctor about PCOS and had blood drawn. I am no closer to knowing what is wrong with me or fixing it.

I had an appointment scheduled for last week, and my doctor's receptionist who shall from this day forth be known as Deskbitch, called to cancel the appointment and reschedule for this week. Dr. J. had knee surgery and was on bed rest. I was understanding and sympathetic, but I did ask if there was a substitute, but she said no.

Today, two days before my appointment, Deskbitch called to cancel again, because Dr. J. had to go in for more surgery. I was advised to call at the end of the week to see if it was possible to reschedule. I asked her if I could have my results given to me over the phone by either her or Dr. J., and she got short with me. I decided to call the local clinic, where there is a wonderful doctor who I have seen several times when my own doctor's office was closed, to see if I could have him get my results and meet with me. I was told to call Dr. J.'s office and ask to have the results faxed to the clinic.

Making that call put Deskbitch over the edge, which had the domino effect on me. She became irate with me, and I became upset. She yelled at me, talked to me like I was stupid, and wouldn't help me at all. Once I called the clinic again, I had it all sorted out: Tomorrow I will go see Dr. D. at the clinic, and he will have my blood results faxed to him. The ultrasound results will take a couple weeks, but I will have him request them anyway in case I can't see Dr. J. At this point I don't even want to see her, especially if Deskbitch will be there. I am in the process of complaining about Deskbitch, and won't rest until she is reprimanded.

So for now, the plan is to see Dr. D., get a copy of my test results for SD2, and start trying to conceive again. Then once my ultrasound results are in, I will find out about PCOS and what, if anything, needs to be taken care of. Right now my main concern is trying to conceive before I get my next period, which could be anytime.
