Whirlwind

That's been the past few days. Wow. Full on.

But all is good now. It's all calmed down, and I'm looking very forward to commencing the BD fest in order to achieve our BFP!! :-)

I've been wearing the OV Watch every night, as required. & I must say, I'm quiet chuffed with how easy this thing is..! No more waking up at 6:30am every single morning (yep, even weekends!), having to stick a thermometer in my mouth to hear the ever annoying BEEPS then wake up enough to record my temp on a piece of paper / on the computer.

This is so much easier! Such a relief when there's so many other feelings/emotions attached to the whole TTC journey, it's nice to just have an 'easy' part :)

All I have to do is wear this watch for a minimum of 6 hours every night, whilst sleeping, and every night at midnight it ticks over to the next CD (cycle day) and tells me whether I'm fertile that day - or not. So far I've only had NF (not fertile) readings, but that's got something to do with the fact that I'm only on CD9 today.

Not long to go, and I'll see 'Fertile Day 1, 2, 3, 4, then the big O symbol - OVULATION. W00t!

Since today is CD9, we're thinking we should hit one of the Fertile Days come tomorrow - CD10 - which in theory should be 4 days before O day. Unfortunately though, I'll be on the Gold Coast for the next coming 3 days (my hens weekend - yippee!), so we'll only prob get to BD tomorrow morning before I leave, then Sunday once I get back but I'm still staying positive this will be fine! :)

I'm quiet optimistic about this cycle. I took my temp last night and it was in the 36's - that's HUGE for me! As we know, temps are required to create, and sustain a pregnancy (temps = progesterone, somewhat) and therefore should be in the required 'range'. Mine were always lucky to hit low 35's, let alone 36's!

Obviously got to do with the prog cream & new vitamins I'm taking - thanks Renee`!

Hmm.. I've got to go for my blood test on CD 21, 22, & 23 which is just to show my prog levels have risen enough, and sustained themselves. Provided they've done this, as they should, all is good.

That's what I'm holding on to. That all is good. :)
