Little Lesbian over there in our BlogRoll is freaking hilarious. Courtney & I get a kick out of her weekly updates. I wish I was as creative and silly as her...go check her out!!
There really isn't much to update, except that I got a +OPK on Friday, as expected. Fertility Friend has me pretty much figured out to the T...or P or O??
We went out of town to visit friends in Virginia this past weekend. I took an OPK around lunch time before we hit the road & it immediately showed a dark line, that only got darker...the picture I took wasn't the greatest so I'll not even bother posting it :). I did bring a few more OPKs to test with again Friday night & Saturday afternoon, but it is a little awkward to test while visiting friends (who don't exactly know we are this far into our adventure, ya know?) So...instead of asking for a cup to take to the bathroom to pee in, I just tried to pee on the stick. That, of course, didn't work like I hoped & the results were invalid. But temps did still show that I was pre-O, and Sunday my temps jumped a bit, not like what I thought they would for post-O...but enough to make sense. Sunday night we went out in DC - it was Capital Pride weekend - so we drank way too much, and stayed out too late...long story short...I didn't temp Monday morning, knowing my results would just make my chart look even more insane! I started temping again yesterday morning & had a pretty big spike...as far as I can tell from my reading, that is accurate, but how long does it stay up there? This morning it was 98.2. Still almost a degree higher than normal.
Here is a picture of my chart for this month...Crazy right??
I really think not traveling or camping or drinking insane amounts or peeing before I temp will make for a more normal-looking chart...yes?
We have plans to either be super lazy this weekend or super adventurous & use one of our groupon deals or lay bamboo floors down in the bedroom. Or be lazy. :) Anyone know which one I prefer? Happy Humpday Babybloggers!!
I will leave you with a picture of one of the cutest roadtrip partners ever!!
Temp usually stays up until period starts. The temp drops a bit at implantation and then goes back up - sign of pregnancy! So don't be surprised that it's staying high.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh ok, that does make sense. For some reason I was thinking it was supposed to drop again after the spike until the next O...whoops :) Glad I know now! I will be hoping it stays high in August for sure! Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteMy charts look crazy like this every single month, I have no clue on how t read them.
ReplyDeleteHad my first IUI yesterday and are now in the dreaded "Two Week Wait", my partner is already commenting on how my stomach looks bigger...hahaha.
Aww!! How cute :) LOTS of luck to you...I've been reading more & more about pregnancies happening after just one try, fingers crossed you will be so fortunate!
ReplyDeleteI think my temps might be getting more regular. I am forcing myself to hold my pee until around 6:00 every morning (I get up in the night at least twice!!), so I hope that is helping.
Baby Dust to you!!
