CD 72

Hello again. I have been a bit MIA lately, but I have a good excuse! I was on vacation. Today was my last official day off, so I thought I'd drop in and blog a bit.

Guess what??? Nothing! That's right, NOTHING! Nothing has changed since my last entry, whenever that was. No ovulation, no period, no positive tests whether OPK or HPT.

I'm taking Fertibella now, along with my Vitamin b6, pre-natals, and folic acid. As you can see from the title, the pill-popping-parade has done little for my reproductive cycle.

Yet, people all around me are conceiving, even when it is not desired! So I know it is still possible to create babies, I just haven't the ability. Sad sack, this chick.

I didn't take my temperature at all when I was away because we were so deep into the mountains that we had no cell phone service, which dummy me neglected to realize meant my cell phone wouldn't have a clock on it, and therefore I couldn't set my alarm to wake up and chart my temperature. Being that I am in my third month of this cycle, I think that was a nice break. Since I have been home, I have used my BBT sporadically, so I won't bother listing the temps here. My chart looks the same as it did, though, the temperatures are hovering around 36 degrees Celsius, so nothing has really fluctuated there.

That's all for now! Come on Auntie Flo! Visit me!

Well, it happened again. The crosshairs that indicated ovulation disappeared due to my temps. I'm ready to give up!! I could have sworn I ovulated this time, but I thought maybe yesterday I did, not last week, so maybe I will get a spike tomorrow or the next day. The games my body is playing are wearing me down.

CD 50:

BBT: 36.09 C
CM: Possibly EW
CP: Medium, slightly open

CD 49: 36.09 C

CD 48 ~ 5 DPO

My temperature was down a bit today, but I didn't have much restful sleep, so I'm not too worried about it. Ovulation is still showing on my chart, so we'll see how it goes the rest of the week.

SD2 came over today! He texted me right before I left work, so it worked out well. I doubt there was much point to it, but it certainly can't hurt!

CD 48:

BBT: 36.09 C

5 DPO Symptoms:

• Fatigue (probably the lack of sleep)
• Stressed/anxious
• Bloated big time
• Increased sex drive
• Sensitive nipples
• Headache
  

CD 47 ~ 4 DPO

I don't have a lot to report this week. I haven't been getting accurate temperatures thanks to my little kitty who likes to wake me up 2 hours before my regular temp-time. Thanks babe. I still put in temps when I get them, and put the correct time so that I can keep track, and after I did that today, my chart pinpointed ovulation on CD 43! I don't believe it, because my temps are unreliable, but I'll play along for now. So this puts me at 4 DPO, but unfortunately I haven't been keeping track of symptoms, or checking my cervix. I would start checking it, but my sex drive has been through the roof lately (which is what made me suspect ovulation in the first place) and it affects the position of the cervix, making it pointless to check.

I emailed SD2 asking him to come over this week and next week to increase my chances before my vacation, but he isn't sure if it's feasible. It won't matter if I've already ovulated, but just in case, I'd like to try. We only got together that one day last week, which was great timing at two days before ovulation, but doesn't give me much hope. We will see though.

CD 41

Over the last few days I have been checking my cervix and taking my temperature sporadically, nothing interesting to report there, but a couple days ago I realized my sex drive was through the roof. I went to a party on the weekend and it was difficult to behave myself!! I took an OPK the next day, and it looked either positive, or extremely close to becoming positive. I freaked out and emailed SD2, but unfortunately he couldn't get together until today.

I took another OPK yesterday (less than 24 hours after the previous test), and it was quite negative. I'm not sure what that means; it could be that I missed my surge, or it was another fake ovulation, or my urine wasn't concentrated enough.

Either way, SD2 came over today just in case.

I am hoping to have a temp spike tomorrow or the next day to confirm ovulation. If not, I will buy more tests and keep watching for ovulation.

It seems I didn't ovulate. Not sure if I will, or if my period is coming, or if it will be a 3 month cycle. Not in the mood to type more.

CD 25 ~ 11 DPO

I don't think I will have good news at the end of this week. I feel pregnant, but my body is setting itself up for my next period.

I slept through my alarm today, so I didn't get my temperature, but it has been low for days.

My cervix has been up, down, open, closed, and I had a spot today. It barely counts as a spot, really, but I saw it, and don't know if it was pink (okay) or red (the devil.)

My breasts have changed a lot too: From pale to darker, normal to puffy, pale to veiny; and then the other way. I also have veins on the sides of my stomach.

I'm not "out" of the running until I get my period, but I'm expecting it to come any day. I took a test yesterday, couldn't wait, and it was negative. Not surprised at all, even if I am pregnant I may not show it yet.
