Looking forward to my weekend

I am so happy today is my Friday at work, I'm kinda tired and just wanna have a few days to do me!

I also need to let this foot heal up...

Well that's about all.  I start in 15 minutes and get off shift at 12:30 pm.  This is definitely not a shift I want when I have the baby

Eating During the Two Week Wait

Eating is soo very important during pregnancy and I'm trying to make sure I'm keeping my growing baby healthy.  This is is breakfast: Greek yogurt, strawberries, bananas, flax seed and topped with honey! Breakfast time!

The flax seed is great for after ovulation.  I'm also doubling my B6 to ensure my LP STAYS HIGH to protect my baby!

My chart looks great so I'm sitting back in my funky pjs and relaxing!  Don't have to leave for work until 4 pm

Cycle Day 16

Not much to say.. it's early... I had a freaky shocking charley horse a few hours ago... It's 5:41 am and I am still tired, so gonna let Sitting Ducks Repeat and go back to sleep :) This morning's temp spiked at 98.17 I definitely ovulated :) I just hope my leg feels better for work... I need to totally rest it so it can heal from that nasty cut to the back of my ankle :) here's my chart: xo Desi

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.
