Shoot - I forgot to temp this morning! Darn you lax attempt at TTC!!!
My OPKs, HPTs and Softcups should arrive at my US mailbox on thursday. Thankfully I have three OPKs left so I can start taking them Wednesday morning which will be CD10. I will be taking my OPKs in the morning at about 6AM and afternoon at about 4:30PM...I am NOT missing that crazy short surge!
BDing will commence this Sat. DH is well aware of a set BD schedule of SAT AM, SUN NOON, MON AM, TUES PM. I go for acupuncture this Thursday and next Monday. I expect to ovulate next Monday.
As you see above this will be my first cycle with acupuncture and softcups. DH and I are pulling out all the stops. BDing is supposed to be more effective in the morning so I have adjusted our schedule to accommodate that. I am SO THANKFUL that this BDathon is happening over a weekend because it makes it much easier to plan and execute.
I have started to think that I ovulate within a couple hours of my positive OPK and that I have a very short egg lifespan because we are doing everything perfect...so all else leads me to believe our timing was just off. So I went back to my Nov chart when we conceived the second time I noticed that I ovulated that day of my positive OPK and we had BD "accidentally" a few days before that which leads me to believe that was the particular moment that got us preggo. All speculation, but at this point that is really all I have. And...ever the planner and control freak that I am...I need that schedule of what to do when. I feel so helpless in this process that making some sort of plan at least makes me feel somewhat in charge of my body.
Today is a busy busy busy day! We have another house showing..a photographer is coming over to take photos of the house for MLS...we go visit Nana in her new care home ...I attend another specialist appointment and then dinner with DH's best friend who is only in town for a couple days. Whew. Might as well get all this craziness in now..I want to be completely zen this weekend!
i swear reading your post that i am reading my thought process every month of ttc. i always need to tell myself when i will start opks, when we will bd, and after O, when i will test. love that you're such a planner like me! fx for you!!!!!!
