Doctor's Appointment

I had my doctors appointment with my GP on Tuesday. At this appointment I was able to find out how far along I am based on my Ultrasound. Apparently according to my ultrasound that I had at 9+6 I was only 9+1. I am not accepting this date.

For this cycle I was, I was tracking my BBT, using OPK, tracking when we had sex, and I took clomid. I know exactly when I ovulated. I know that it is impossible for me to be 5 days behind, because you kinda have to have sex to get pregnant, and we didn't 5 days after I ovulated (or 4 or 3 or 2).

My doctor is very much into tracking cycles, so I told her this, and told her the day I ovulated. I said that we had sex 2 days before and 1 day after I ovulated. Because of this, she is moving my due date from May 31, to June 1. This I am ok with. She is keeping the June 5 due date in her back pocket. If I end up going late (because both me and my sister were 2 weeks late) and everything is going fine with the baby, she will move my due date to put off possible induction :)   She is awesome

I got to hear the baby's heartbeat this week which was AMAZING!!! I didn't get to hear it at the US, which was crappy. My baby is really low. She had a hard time find it, until she went really low, and pointed the doppler more downwards. It was 175bpm :)  This appointment I was 10+4, I don't think I would have heard it had I been 9+6 like the US says.

My next ultrasound is on November 23 for the prenatal screening. I cant wait to see it again......and to see how big it will be then!! :)

Overdue Update

I have been a bad blogger, and have not been able to find the time to sit and write. It probably doesn't help that my computer has been in for repair for a week now UGH!! but that is another story.

Now for my TTC update.
For about just over a week now, while at work I have been feeling just... off.
At work, I have been feeling a little sick. Not like I was going to vomit or anything, but just not well. My heartburn was also worse than normal.

By the time I get home from work (after working 12 hours) I used to be able to stay up a good 2 hours before going to bed. Lately, I get home and within 45 minutes I am crashing on the couch. I go to bed, and can only sleep for 2 hours at a time, then up for 30-45 minutes, then sleep for another 2 hours. This was really making working 12 hours difficult.

On CD27 - 12dpo, my BBT temp plummeted from 36.87 to 36.48, and below the coverline. The next day the temp raised very very slightly, and my CM was tinged brown. At this point I accepted that my first cycle on clomid was a failure.

On CD29 - 14dpo, the day before AF was due, my temperature jumped right back up to 36.89. I didn't have any of my normal AF symptoms, like cramping, so I thought I would use a cheapie to test.

The test was very faint, but the line appeared right away.
I got dressed and drove to Shoppers immediately to get a couple tests. Went home, tested again and this is what happened..................

I am so excited and nervous at the same time. This is my first pregnancy since the MC i had in May last year. I am worried that it will happen again.

So today, I am 4+1 and due May 31, 2013.

Don't start obsessing!

I try not to be the kind of person that stresses or obsesses over my cycles.  I learned very early on in my ttc journey that this could just lead to a lot of pain and unessasary headaches. 

This cycle feels different I guess. Maybe I am a little more hopeful.  I compared this months fertility friend chart to the cycle where I got pregnant.  I set it up so the cover line and the ovulation lines were lined up with each other and this is what I got.  It's eeryly pretty close.

OMG OPK!

I decided to use a bunch of OPKs this cycle, so I can actually determine if they work properly for me, and if I am ovulating on my own.

This picture is from CD 8 (right) every day to CD 17 (left). You can clearly see that I had a definite positive!!! :) This matched with my BBT results, and CM, I ovulated on CD 17.

I'm not super hopeful for this cycle, as things came up, and the last time we tried was on CD 15. I am happy that OPKs work for me though.
