Wednesday, December 19th, 2012. CD23, 12DPO.
I’m going into hiding for a few days.
Probably, anyway.
I don’t expect to have great news to broadcast this Christmas, largely because for a few days now, I have been feeling crampy and bloaty and just… Ugh.
Aunt Flo and her always-ironic timing are probably on their way, just in time for my family to arrive this weekend.
I suppose I should just join the camp where I hope Auntie shows her face as soon as possible so that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day aren’t completely miserable.
Anyway, I’m probably going to keep quiet for a few days, mostly out of lack of time to post, and partially because I might just not want to talk about how disappointed I am during the most jolly time of year.
If I’m not able to make it back here in time for Christmas, let me just convey my wishes now:
Happy ChristmaHanukKwanzaKuh!
May the season bring you love and light and blessings,
May your tampon drawer remain closed for many months,
May your pee-sticks have two lines,
And may your uterus be filled with joy and babies. 🙂
I love you guys.
Please tell me this really exists…
Just Stop Trying and It Will Happen... 
I’m in the same boat over here. Or is it bloat? Thinking of you, and hoping you have a wonderful Christmahanukwanzukkah! ❤

Not sure if this helps or not, but I looked at your chart and you have your ovulation date the same as your trigger date. It really should be 2 days later (really, 36 hours…)… So, instead of being 13dpo today, you’re really just 11dpo…which is still early (if you’re testing).

I know I shouldn’t manually input my ovulation based on temps when I’m taking meds, and I really shouldn’t pin O on a day when I missed my BBT, but my LH surge is typically pretty darn short, and my follies were ready to pop at that point. I got a positive OPK the night before and that morning, so I just went with it
I wasn’t sure if I was right for pinning O on that day since I triggered, but I did trigger early in the morning rather than at night, so it’s still plausible. Also, all signs pointed to having ovulated the next day, including my CM and temps, so I just winged it. 😛
I think I was right, based on when AF showed up, too. I guess it’s good to know you’re body’s signs… just too bad I was right about the AF symptoms. 😦
