Ovulation at last

Finally I am pretty sure I ovulated yesterday because I had a 10 KL 1x and ovulation cramping for about half the day. I am so happy about this just because at first I was wondering that it didn't seem like I ovulated. So here is break down of my mucus pattern this cycle. (very little)

CD 13 - 10KL 1x
CD 14 - 6 KL 1x
CD 15 - 6 KL 1x
CD 16 - 10 KL 1x (Peak Day)

Hopefully this means I will start HCG injections on Wednesday. I am going to go to my pharmacy here and have them explain to me how to mix the mixture together because I am really questioning if I did it right last cycle. Oops, guess I'll be more precise this time around. I feel like this time of the month goes by so SLOWLY! I just can't wait to see how things turn out. More than likely my P+7 will fall on this Sunday which means I'll have to get my blood drawn on Monday. I hate having to go on the wrong day, but there is really nothing I can do about this. I wish I would have taken the m.ucinex and Fertile CM more faithfully this cycle but it was really gagging me this time around. I noticed a significant difference this month though so maybe next month I'll just have to suck it up and gobble down ALL the pills to do the trick :)

Over the weekend Dh and I worked so long on our house. He worked on the outside and I cleaned up the inside. I eventually got burned out because believe or not I woke up early and went to exercise class. I know, surprise, surprise ;) After I made us lunch I took a two hour nap and woke up so groggy. I couldn't snap out of it. It was so nice though just to crash after a long afternoon of work. I am so proud of my hubby and the work he did around our little yard. It looks SO much better. Here are some pictures of what I would like to do to our backyard. Box gardens would be so nice in my yard. Has anyone ever tried this? Any advice? O.k. this is my new kick I am on...

  1. I am doing it right now. I don't really have any thoughts since this is my first time and it's 4ft x 4ft. :) It's tiny. :)

    I thought holy cow is that her backyard? :) I have a pic to post of my shady little garden. :)

    That is great you ovulated. I could possibly be P + 9 right now if I actually ovulated on 5/10. I know crazy right? Because if I am not mistaken we were running on the same day that last cycle or whatever it was.

    I started spotting today too which isn't early if I am P + 9 but hypothetically I am only CD 14. So to answer your question yes and no.

    But can I tell you how much better I feel after not being on that progesterone. My face isn't breaking out, my stomach isn't bloated and nasty looking, and I feel good. So good I am making chicken! WTH? :)

    I digress. Okay, well maybe only for a minute. I did call the nurse and told her that I stopped taking prometrium because I couldn't stand how it made me feel. Now if I was pregnant I would totally feel like crap on progesterone. But I am not pregnant so I don't feel like suffering thank you very much. :)

  2. hooray for ovulation! i did hcg injections one cycle, and my main memory from that cycle was being sore at the injection site for a few days, but whatever it takes!

    good luck with the garden! i've never tried box gardens but would love to see how it turns out!

  3. Would love to see those gardens...you can do it!!! I don't think it would be too hard. You could probably get all your materials at H.ome D.epot. Good luck :)

  5. Yay for ovulation! I'm pretty much positive I'm having an anovulatory cycle and I'm not sure I've EVER had one (or not in years?) and I had no idea it would get under my skin this much. I'm pretty much a 25-day gal, p=12/13/14, and I'm on CD16 and don't even have a BUILDUP to peak, but, to be honest, I'd be fit to be tied, ovulation or no ovulation.

    I, too, thought that was your yard at first. But soon it will be! I read in some magazine or something about how to do a raised box garden. Hmm...I know! It was the Better Homes issue at the radiology lab! They made it sound really simple. I could maybe try to remember, but I bet you can find the directions online. I probably won't go that ambitious 'till I own a home, but I'm sure you can do it!

  6. We've got a garden, but no raised beds. I think next time we move we'll do raised beds...I like the look better plus less weeds to pull!
    Yea for ovulations!

  7. How many other women celebrate ovulation besides those dealing with infertility? For that matter, how many other women even know what ovulation is? Not that it matters, just musing to myself.

    Congratulations on ovulation! I've found that Mucinex gives me a headache when I don't drink enough. I'm getting used to it now.
