O-Day

Similar to D-Day, but... not.

I have never before had more of the 'classic' ovulation symptoms. Yesterday I was a royal CM mess and could feel very minor discomfort/twinges in my lady-bits region. This morning, almost exactly 36 hours later (which I didn't notice until it happened)I am having some mild cramping. Not the sucky/throbbing AF kind, but a bit sharper and more localized (if that makes any sense at all!).

Is this what it is like to be a function female member of our species!?

I'll take it!

Here we begin another round of the longest two weeks of my life. Thank god I have plenty to keep me busy or it wouldn't matter if I ovulated because I would have spontaneous combusted from the waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

Oh, and sometime remind me of the HILARIOUS story of where I sent R a picture of my VERY clearly positive OPK and she nearly shit herself. SO. FUNNY.

Happy Friday-Eve! I'll 'see' you later for my next instalment of Thankful Thursday. Love ya!

Trigger Happy

I came home to this:

And did this:

It was the first time I'd ever given myself a shot and I'm happy to report it wasn't bad at all! I was REALLY nervous. But, I managed it! J was pretty bummed I wouldn't let him do it. So he manned the camera for benefit of you all! Now go ahead and tell me how privileged you feel for getting to see a little tummy chub... go ahead, don't be shy!

Thursday morning the alarms are getting set early and J and I will celebrate the 35 hours mark (just before 36 hours) with a good old fashion romp in the sack. Those of you on the east coast can just go ahead and toast us with your morning coffee, it'll probably be about 6am your time. lol

I finished all of my other chores (including the final touches on the main paint color in the kitchen! Tomorrow is the accent wall.) and now I'm going to spend an evening vegging on the sofa. Wouldn't want to distract those big ol' follies from doing their thing.

Midcycle Success

Best. Midcycle. Check.

Yup, that's right, I have growing thriving follies down there! Two, that are HUGE compared to any others I've ever had. Ever. Especially since it is only cd12. One on the left and one on the right.

I would like to take a moment of silence. ::moment::

Now: Double WOOT!!

Dr. Wrong (who I may have to admit already needs a new nickname) got right down to dildo cam business. Immediately we found a 18mm follicle on one side and 19ish on the other.

J and I chatted and decided that we wanted to do another timed-sex cycle instead of pursuing the IUI this cycle. It was important that we know that we did all we could to make this as 'natural' as possible. So, we're going it au-natural again this cycle.

We did decide that we were going to trigger again just to have a bit more control over timing. However, not a single pharmacy in our area has it in stock! I will have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up. 36 hours after that and we'll be getting down to business, as they say. (Whoever 'they' is...)

So, here we go! Wish me luck!

Post HSG Update

It has been a couple of days since my trigger shot of HSG, so I thought I'd give ya'll an update.

1. My ass hurts. Okay, so it is more my hip than my ass, but still, ouch! It is tender and sore. If feels like I have a giant bruise. In fact, I keep checking for one!

2. There was definitely some crampage I've never had before on my lower right. In my mind it is because the HSG was basically a folli-steroid that caused it to get giant like Hulk and explode. Good enough visual, right? I think the fact that I could feel this may be caused by my continual constipation. It's caused some bloat and extra sensitivity in my lower regions.

3. The nurse warned me of moodiness and so far I don't think I've been too bad. Maybe you should ask J... lol

Otherwise things are good. We're cautiously optimistic and I'm certainly hoping the next two weeks fly by.
