My new Home

Trying to decide on my new home with the baby.  I moved home in the interim, but I am so perfectly clear that I will not raise my baby here.

Thinking of going back to the apartment down a few blocks from my parents and a one bedroom should be enough, but I want a patio for my furbabies... Also thinking of renting a small house.. Decisions...

Cycle Day 15

Not too much to say today... I'm real tired. My ankle still hurts from the cut from hitting the gate on it... I'll ace bandage it later. I've taken the dogs downstairs and I'm in my room resting and watching Sitting Ducks... so tired... Here's today's chart: xo Desi

Cycle Day 14: The Surge is Gone

Yesterday at 3:06 pm I had a negative surge on Clear Blue Ovulation, so my surge lasted a little over 24 hours. Today is 1 DPO and I am starting Bromelain until CD5. The Two Week wait is a trying time for most; been there, done that. This time around, I'm going in the mind-frame of keeping myself occupies and understanding this is time for my baby to travel and latch onto my uterus lining. I'm taking it easy and doing stress free activities. It's still rather hot here, so more shorts and wife beaters lol! I'm also back to making my dolls, which is very relaxing. I'm still reading the mocha journal a wonderful book you can pick up at amazon.com There's an awesome section on going it alone that is so encouraging.

Here's my chart for today. My temp is still above the coverline, but dipped from yesterday's temp. Should stay higher than the coverline, which is the temp before ovulation and spike.

What I'm not gonna do is constantly pee on a stick and obsess. I have a deep feeling that fertilization has taken place and all I can do is wait for September 21, which is the date fertilityfriend.com says I should test. As long as I keep my cool and relax I good. Nurturing takes place before the birth of the child. I'm starting now.

Cycle Day 13

I've been kinda tired today... long night at work last night and insem three at 12:30 am. It was also another hot one, but oh well :) The wonfo test strips are not working for me... here is my test from 12:22 am:

And here's my surge from 9:46 am:

Insem 12:30 am positive opk 12:22 am Positive opk 5:55 am Positive opk 9:46 am Will keep testing until the surge is gone to guess the time window of ovulation. My prayer is that I've already released the egg... I had in increase in temp today and I know three days of rise does clarify ovulation.

It's way to early to phsyco-analyze symptoms, however I am tired, have a bit of a headache and pinches on my sides where my ovaries are both right and left.

Cycle Day 12

Insem at: 12:00 am Big O twice... - opk at 5:30 am but still with 1st morning urine... Don't know if I trust these cheapie opk's much. Bought them on Ebay... usually these wofo's work great for me,bt this time I didn't see as much as a faint line... 11:30 am another neg on the cheapie opk (not even so much as a faint line), but a big fat smile on clear blue... so glad I bought the digital, I'm now wondering if I have been with a pos surge for several days... Glad I inseminated yesterday and have one more insem to do tonight when I retu

rn home from work at 12:30 am.

Yaaaay!

I found my Preseed!

Insem One Done

Well my fed ex showed up.... I did my first insem and it was a bit dotty as I had to keep my privacy and someone wouldn't leave the house lol. well I did it but was so damn mad I couldn't find my pre seed. I sure hope all goes well, I've been drinking more water than normal and taking epo, drinking grapefruit juice and taking mucinex.... yesterday I had a lot of wetness and creamy almost watered down cm and my cervix was very high and soft... hoping for the best. I orgasmed twice so hope it sucked the little spermies in and up to meet the egg. Used the instead cup, my use syringe tomorrow.... I will keep the instead cup in until a quarter to 11 pm and then insem again around 12 am before going to bed... I have my hips up and I'm going to try to stay like this for half an hour. Wishing for the best :)
