Soooooo… this is strange.
I have had weird, flat temperatures for the past four mornings.
Is something wrong with my thermometer?
Is something wrong with ME?
Anyone out there seen anything like this before?
My typical LP temps are up around this range normally, but they never just hang out at one spot like this. Especially not for days at a time.
So odd.
Other than this, and my boobs feeling like giant, painful bouncy-houses, nothing new here.
I’m still working on testing out the trigger, and will update once that bad boy starts to fade. Which might be daaaaaaays from now, because my stupid body holds onto stupid triggers for a stupid-long time.
Happy Hump Day, friends! 🙂

It’s been a crazy couple of days around here, buzzing around trying to get ready for this trip out of town, frantically packing (and re-packing… (and then unpacking again because it’s too freaking early to pack)), and generally stressing out about things beyond my control.
Oh, and then the whole “trying to create life” thing too. Yeah, it’s been busy day and night.

That’s right, 5DPO. If FertilityFriend doesn’t want to confirm my ovulation, then I will just go ahead and manually override the system to declare it myself. So there. Ovulation? Check.
So, I guess that puts me officially in the TWW… This cycle is already crazy. I’m usually preparing the house for a visit from Aunt Flo around CD30–Heating pad within reach, Midol and tampon supply stocked, chocolate stockpile replenished–but this month I’m anticipating another five days or so of waiting around for that to happen. Strange…
Maybe my body knows that this time next month the husband and I will be traveling out of state for a wedding, and that I will have much more important things to concern myself with than how many miles are between the highway rest areas.
I guess I won’t complain. For now, anyway.

Well, my temp did rise this morning, but not by an impressive amount. I guess my Ob-Gyn was right–I do have a weak natural ovulation.
I’ve been wondering why that is a lot lately. I think that’s why I started reading about PCOS. Now, I know I’ve said in the past that self-diagnosing is not the way to handle things, but it’s tough to sit patiently and wait for my appointment with the fertility clinic in June. Maybe if we don’t call it “Google Diagnosis” and refer to it as something like “educating myself on the possibilities”, it will all sound less crazy.
Who’s in favor of less crazy?
Oooh, ooh–ME!

I haven’t really named my ovaries, of course, but I assume that they must be friends of Mary Jane since they conveniently chose today–4/20, famous for being the unofficial pot smoker’s Christmas–to function properly.
I finally got a positive OPK late last night, and again early this morning.
Tonight? Negative.
I guess that’s that then, isn’t it?
I’m expecting a temp spike tomorrow to confirm ovulation, of course, but I feel safely comfortable saying that I am now officially in the Two Week Ten Day Wait.
Also, I just wanted to point out that infertility is ruining Easter for me. All of the egg imagery is making me bitter, and not even fondant-filled chocolate eggs are making it better. And I can no longer eat a Peep because they make me think of squishy little pre-babies, which is just tragic and demented.
Thanks a bunch, infertility, for taking candy away from me too. Why don’t you go ahead and ruin oxygen next? You suck.
Pass the jelly beans.

When I got married a little over two years ago, I never expected that I would be here–a veritable science experiment of a woman, working my little fingers to the bone trying to get pregnant, and burdening the world with my tragic woes via the internet. I also had no idea that I’d probably been

March 28th, 2011. CD2. After spending the day yesterday with two of my best friends and their fourteen- and seven-month-old girls, I have a renewed sense of determination to have a family of my own… Despite the week-long setback Aunt Flo has thrown in my way.
