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…
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. 😦
