Hey Anya!  I was 21 mos PP on the 17th and just got AF on the 24th :)  

We were plannıng to waıt untıl DS was 3 too.  Then decıded we would just do thıngs wıth my bodıes schedule.  (DH ıs a real "thıngs happen for a reason" kınd of guy- ım less so, but ıts hard not to be wıth such a fervent belıever).  

Plus DD ıs turnıng 6 and ıs super helpful.  (lıke I was as the oldest chıld). :) I feel lıke havıng that extra paır of hands to help DS ıf he needs somethıng wıll be enough once #3 arrıves.  we unschool too.  so she wıll be home all day wıth us.

Ah, man...I'm sick. Fever and all. Does that mean conceiving this cycle is next to impossible? I'm 4 dpo today...so implantation is probably skewed even if there is a fertilzed egg in there. Or not? I wish I had energy to do some reading.

Just popping in to complain, I guess.

SweetMama, I responded in your other thread, but I think you definitely still have a chance this cycle. Take care, and get well soon!

I'm waiting to O. I had EWCM on the 26th and 27th with a high, open cervix. Then on the 28th I had what I thought was a +OPK, but I didn't FEEL like I was Oing. I usually feel randy and sexy arounf O time, but this week I've been feeling fat and bloated and cranky. So I wasn't really feeling hopeful. Then yesterday I had the urge to jump DH's bones all morning long, and sure enough I got a DEFINITE +OPK that afternoon. We've been BDing every day since I saw the EWCM and plan to BD again tonight and tomorrow.

This is my first month taking my temperature, and I was a little dismayed to wake up with a significant drop in my temp this morning after yesterday's bold +OPK. But then I got on google and found that some women have a sharp temp dip the day of ovulation, followed by high temps. So I'm hopeful. Fingers crossed that I get my high temps the rest of this week!

Oh and, I also woke up with a bit of a sore/thick feeling in my throat so I skipped the 5k race that I had planned and just slept in. I'm glad I did, because I'm definitely fighting off a slight head cold. I'm hoping that it doesn't get any worse, and that it doesn't delay O. I'm not sure how many days in a row DH and I can keep this up. We're running out of popsicles! (used as distraction for DD, lol)

[SweetMama34]

LOL, kitteh - I have the same distinct sexy/randy feeling when I'm fertile. It's my favorite signal...duh, right? :)

kitteh...   I get that big dip on ovulation when I temp properly.

[kitteh]

Well, I can't say I'm temping properly. I try to do it around the same time each morning, but it generally happens somewhere between 6 and 7AM with a few as late as 8AM. I'm cosleeping and nursing my 2.5 yr old, so I rarely have 3-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep right before I wake up. Also DH works nights and gets home a little after 6AM, so I tend to wake up around then sometimes. The few times I DO get that steady stretch of sleep before temping is on days when I sleep in til 8, and then I'm not temping at the same time. So I'm not sure how reliable my chart is. But I'm hoping to get a distinct temp spike soon.

Also I took another OPK just now, because I had one cheapie left, and it is a VERY dark positive. Probably darker than the other two. I hope that doesn't mean my body is gearing up to release the egg but just can't, for whatever reason (like my head cold)

[Stevi]

kitteh...   I get multiple days of positive OPK's, I think you're supposed to only count the first one.
