I saw a pregnancy announcement today from a friend from high school. She and her wife are expecting. Yes, two women. I don't know how they did it. If sperm got in the mix or really expensive fertility treatment, my knowledge is limited in that field. I have nothing against someone being gay or bisexual. And honestly I label myself as bi-curious. However, it is kind of depressing the vagina & vagina figured it out before the penis & vagina (Bean & myself). We look like failures now. Really, how hard could it be? Well congrats to them.

My wait for ovulation is going OK. I started ovulation predictor tests (OPK) today at CD10. My Ovacue has yet to pick anything up, my number are really high though. My basal body temperature (BBT) looks horrible (typical). I've gotten more and more ferns with my saliva ferning. And my cervix went from soft (period) to hard (before ovulation). My stomach was so sick the last couple days. I almost threw up last night. And my acne has also gotten worse. It feels like my estrogen (estradiol) is high. I went looking for one of those female hormone charts and my estrogen would match up with what is normal.
I still have a lot of hope for this cycle though.
We still haven't left for our move. We were supposed to leave Sunday. Saturday when we went to pick up the UHaul the lights on the back were not functional. When I was at the dealership last week they installed the hitch and told me the wiring and plug for the lights were all there. True. Come to find out the wiring was connected to nothing and didn't work. UHaul wouldn't let us take the trailer because of safety reasons. Yesterday (Monday) they ordered the part and today the are installing it. Hoping to get the the road tonight.
Might not have many blog updates the next week or two, depended on the Internet I get while traveling.

Notes
Ovacue vagina kept getting "over 400" readings
-Selbe
Ugh. That is really depressing even though nothing is meant against them, everyone deserves children if they want them, it's just kind of like really?! It almost seems like a smack in the face... Good luck this cycle! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you feel hopeful, I have some for you too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move. There was a huge LA Times expose a few years ago about how unsafe U-Haul's equipment is. So I'm not surprised by your experience other than the fact that they didn't let you take the trailer.
