Super Excitment!!!

I have wonderful news! Finally! No, I'm not pregnant, not yet that is! But I have good feelings and I'm gonna stay positive! Since cycle day 10 I have been successfully BD with the hubbs every other day, if not every day! Which is great because the little buggers are constantly being shot up there with hopes a big ol' egg will be rolling on by so they can catch a ride! I'm also giving warning that my blogs are pretty personal. That's a choice I have made to share whats going on in my life right now. Some people may think talking about cervical mucus (CM) might be kind of gross but if you are grossed out by that kind of stuff you may not have ever tried to have a baby and if you are getting grossed out then this may not be the blog for you! (Just a heads up cause I will totally be talking about CM in this blog ;) So healthy, fertile loving CM is supposed to be clear, resembling raw egg white. Ovulation is at its peak when you can take your CM and stretch it between your middle finger and thumb. Last week when I was taking a lot of my OP strips the test line seemed dark to me as if I was ovulating but I noticed my CM was white and thick, like hand lotion. I knew that wasn't good CM for baby making but I BD anyway because the OPK line seemed dark. Well last night I noticed my CM seemed clear and wet feeling. I told my husband I thought I could be ovulating soon because of this and the fact I had been cramping on and off since Friday, so we BD last night. Today, I used another OP strip to see what it would look like and this is what came up...
Totally, without question, one big freakin' positive, darker then last weeks too! Which explains the cramping and the clear CM! So I'm super happy we tried last night and will continue to try tonight as well. I can't really explain the dark test lines from last weeks OPKs, but I have read that being on Clomid can effect the results of OPKs so who knows! Welp! That's it for now! I will talk to you all soon!

What's going on?

Well all I can say is I have no clue whats going on! I'm starting to question when I ovulated, or if I even ovulated at all. I thought I did last week but on Friday I experienced menstrual like cramps through the entire day, my ovulation strip was not positive and my CM was very white and creamy. Even though, my husband and I still BD that evening. Well on Saturday and Sunday I am STILL experiencing menstrual like cramps. I tried googling  it, some women say you can experience implantation cramps and others say theres no such thing. I dont know! But I guess only time will tell. Just wanted to give you all an update! Talk to you soon!

Cycle Day 13 Ovulation Strip

So I know I've strayed away from the blogs recently but it was just because I didn't feel like posting basically the same stuff, which was that I wasn't ovulating. Today is cycled day 13 and I was told by my doctor ovulation should occur between cycle day 10 and 14. My last cycle was 29 days which meant I had ovulated on cycle day 15 so I didn't think I would ovulate as early as day 10. Well today I took another ovulation test and this is what came up!
Yes, I know the left line isn't quite as dark as the right one but I've seen what a "positive" ovulation strip is and this is basically it. I'm going to take another one tomorrow to see if the line gets any darker. Even though I didn't think I ovulated days prior, the hubby and I still BD anyways to make sure we wouldn't miss it! The days we tried were Saturday, Monday, and today...and possibly again later tonight! (hahaha) and most likely tomorrow! I also jinxed myself earlier today as well. I was telling a friend how usually when I ovulate I break out and so far I hadn't had a break out, I assumed it was possibly from the hormones of the clomid. But when I got home today I did notice a couple spots on the face that were breaking out =( I also have noticed a few feelings on both sides where my ovaries are like "twinges" and every so often I feel like a menstrual crampy feelingy thing. Who knows? I will defiantly post tomorrows ovulation strip to see if anything changes!
Bye!

Cycle Day 9

So today is cycle day 9, I am really tired and am not in the mood to post the picture of my ovulation strip from this morning. The line was actually lighter today then it was yesterday, so I will just try again tomorrow. Dr. S told me I should hopefully ovulate between cycle day 10 and 14. I honestly don't think I will ovulate as early as day 10 but the hubby and I will continue BD tomorrow and every day after that so we make sure we get it right! We actually started BD on Wednesday =) I know, TMI! But I do not want to basically waste this Clomid cycle by missing my ovulation day. One other thing, I finished the Clomid on Tuesday evening and it is now Friday. I thought if I was going to experience a lot as in terms of symptoms I would have felt them while I was actually taking Clomid but I was totally wrong! I have been miserable the past two days. Extremley tired all day long, upset in the mornings and evenings (sad and wanting to cry for no reason), annoyed easily, and hot all day long. I hate feeling this way but I know it will be worth it in the end. I've been trying to behave myself because you don't even know how badly I want to start fights with my husband when I start feeling annoyed but I hold back and just go be a depresso in my room! I will get through this! Talk to you tomorrow!!

Cycle Day 8 Ovulation Strip

This is today's ovulation strip for cycle day 8, taken around 11 am with nothing to drink prior. I know it doesn't look like it from the photo but it is a slight bit darker then yesterdays. So hopefully I am one day closer to ovulation!

Cycle Day 7 Ovulation Strip

This is my ovulation strip I did right around 10 am. I hadn't drank anything before taking this test. The left line is supposed to be just as dark as the right one if my body was producing the LH hormone (the hormone you produce when you ovulate).....not yet!!
