hello lefty

So every month right before ovulation I get nice and tender on my right side.  At one point this was established that the cause was my right ovary pushing on my organs and making everything more painful.  (Yes, I did say everything.)  But this month lefty has been waking up!  I was just sitting here at my desk and ping ping ping lefty made her presence known!

Way to go Lefty!  Lets all chant together! Go lefty its your birthday, not for real just for play play!

chart OCD

I find it interesting that my body does the same thing each month.  There is a definite pattern when you look at this chart.  FF gave me a free trial upgrade and so I am going to save this here so I can refer back to it if I need too!  But you can see that my temperature dives down right before ovulation and then creeps up, FYI: the Aug 13 chart was my PG chart with the twins.

woot woot we have lift off

I am sitting here in total disbelief and shock.  Check out this chart: no dotted lines either....wow!

What does this show you might ask?  Well, it shows that I ovulated on Cycle Day 14; which is "normal" for most women.  This could be why we didn't get pregnant for so long because we stopped trying before I ovulated.  My ovulation day ranges from CD20-26.  If we were just "trying" from days 12-18 then I totally wasted many months.  But since I have been charting for almost a year I now know what is normal for my body and this month is NOT normal for me.  Chris and I talked it over and we are going to pretend that this ovulation didn't happen, just in case for some reason the chart gods are wrong. 

Here is a fun little summery that the website includes.    The good news is that my Luteal Phase, the part of my cycle after ovulation is constantly 14 days.  That means peeing on a stick can begin on May 12th and we should know for sure by May 16th....though if the chart is wrong and I am ovulating later then all this is a waste of my time thinking about this and yours for reading it!

But thanks for reading and supporting me.

my crazy body

So listen to how crazy my body is:  **Warning lots of TMI**

I never have EWCM for more than maybe a day, well take a peak at my chart and you will see 4 days marked with the coveted green "E".  When I entered this into my charts in the past I might have had one little glimpse of this stuff, but this month I am talking about A LOT.  I mean to the point of having to go to the bathroom to wipe b/c there is so much and I feel gross!

So, then on Saturday night after a friends wedding we head back to our hotel room.  I can barely walk due to the pain in my right side.  Over the past few years since going off the pill, I have realized that this is my right ovary pushing on my other organs and making me very uncomfortable.  Well, I laid down to go to sleep and I could barely find a comfortable position due to the pain in my side.  After about 2 hours of tossing and turning I took some painkillers and was able to get some good sleep.  The next day the pain was not as prominent.  Fast forward to Monday morning a HUGE jump in my temperature which possibly could indicate ovulation and this is the shocker on CYCLE DAY 14....now for those that are not as in touch with my body as I am here is a little reminder, I usually ovulate on CD22-26.  This would put me into the "normal" cycle length and possibly give me a better shot at getting pregnant.  With the twins I o'd on day 26, people we are talking 12 days soon here!

This would be so perfect, we move into our new house on Saturday and I would then test sometime around the 16th and if it is positive then I would be pregnant before the twins due date, which is something I really want...but I don't get what I want when it comes to this subject...stopping this train of thought in it's tracks. 

But this is "if" I o'd this morning...we should know for sure in a few days.  Bring on the 2 week wait I am ready for you!!!!!!
