June 17th, 2011. CD16, 3DPO…?
So yesterday at this time, I was settling in to the thought that I had about a week’s wait before ovulation.
Today, apparently, I am firmly in the Two Week Wait.
Crazy, right? I know!
I went to my chart on Fertility Friend and checked out when I had my temp rise, which lined up exactly with the time frame the ultrasound tech told me she thought I had ovulated–two to three days ago. So, I did what any obsessive TTC-er would do; I manually overrode the system and placed my ovulation date.
I feel like such a cheater! And a slouch! Not only did I not know I ovulated, even if I had been using OPK’s to test, I probably wouldn’t have started using them until after the day I actually ovulated anyway! And forget about Sexy Timing! We probably would have started yesterday, had I not received the unexpected news about my premature ovulation. Thankfully, there was one little “encounter” a few days ago that made it onto the chart before the egg-drop, or I would have to chalk this month up to a total waste before it even got off the ground.
What is my body trying to do to me??

So, today is all about preparing for the big day with the lady who’s going to knock me up. My first RE appointment is in a week, and I’m starting to get a little anxious. I checked in with the office to see which of my doctors have sent over my medical records, and I’ve started to fax records requests to the ones who haven’t.
By the way, is it a job requirement for medical records office employees to be rude? I mean seriously… I have called four offices today, and every single one of those women pretty much hates their life, or so it sounds over the phone. I hate calling you to fax over copies of my last three pap smear results just as much as you hate faxing them, mkay? Get over it, lady. Jeez.
Anyway, so aside from making sure my medical records are in place, showing up on time for my appointment, and employing some advanced hair-removal techniques, is there anything else I should be doing to prepare for this three-hour tour of my privates?

I may have blogged too soon.
Aunt Flo is in town. Surprise!
I guess this means that I did ovulate at some point during the month… Although it also means that I totally wasted an HPT this morning. Oh well, at least when I see the RE in two weeks, I will have a fairly regular cycle to report.
I can also now commence with eating everything in my kitchen. Could be worse…

Today is Star Wars Day.
May the Fourth be with you… Get it? May the Fourth?
Baaaaahahahahaha…
I’m endlessly amused by wordplay and silly puns and Star Wars in general, so this whole celebration has been right up my alley.
But hey, this blog is not about how much of a nerd I am, it’s about how infertile I am! While both of those things are rather pitiful, let’s get back to the topic at hand, shall we?

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!

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

Well friends, the day has finally come. …No, I’m not knocked up. And no, I haven’t decided to “just stop trying”. After all, what sarcastic epithet would I name this blog then?
