This is how I texted my friend this morning to see if she could meet for lunch. “I have good news! (Not pregnant).” She’s one of the few irl people who I’ve talked to in depth about this whole process. So, the good news is, I got a job. A full time job! In the city I actually live in!!! No more commuting 100 miles each way, spending half the week living with relatives, the whole thing. And, looking at my bbt chart I was so hoping since I miraculously ovulated that maybe, maybe we’d be pregnant too. That the timing would just be that great and perfect and fall into place.
I tested this morning and it was negative- and my mood was still great. I had a great day getting stuff done and seeing my friend and being happy about my job. But I just started spotting and now I’m a little sad. I would have ovulated the day of that awful appt and if I had known- maybe we could’ve gotten pregnant this cycle. Ugh, it just is killing me. We had sex several time btwn days 14-17, then I was away until day 21 which is the day I ovulated and spent all day in bed crying.
1. I ovulated. Let’s hope this is a trend!
2. I can better estimate what cycle day I ovulate, so I’ll need fewer opk's
3. In 3 weeks it will be infinitely easier to time sex since I will Be! Home! Every!! Night!!!!!!!
4. I also have an idea of pre and post ovulation temperatures, PLUS it will be easier to temp if I sleep in the same place every night
I plan on posting a proper celebratory update about my job because I really am happy about it… Just needed a little venting first.
