Tami's Pre-Pregnancy Journal

 
Thursday, November 5, 1998

Well, I've had a bit of a miscommunication with my body. I expected to ovulate on Monday and did get a dull ache in the ovary region but it didn't feel like it usually does when I ovulate, sharp, intense pain that lasts several hours and then begins to dull. This felt dull from the start. At first I wondered if the sharp pain had happened while I slept but my temps were still low so I thought that I hadn't actually O'd yet but the follicle was maybe swelling and causing the dull pain. This went on for two days and finally yesterday (cycle day 15) I felt the "right" ovulatory pain and was very relieved.

Of course I had been worrying that I was having an anovulatory cycle but I guess everything is ok and I just O'd a little later. Better late than never, right? I had been under a lot of stress the beginning of the week and the night that we thought I'd O we didn't end up getting to bd and I was really upset and sure I'd lost all chance for this month.

I'm sure that my hysterics and the stress probably added to the delay in O. Thankfully I'm back on track, we bd on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I O'd Wednesday and hopefully there is enough sperm in there to do the trick. I don't plan to test until at least the 17th because all those - last month were too depressing. Plus I'm running out of pg tests. I'm trying not to think about it so much in the hopes that it will happen when I'm not looking.

School is nuts, 5 weeks left of the semester and loads of work to be done. I'm not going to think about it for the next 4 days though, my friends from Maine are coming for a visit and I'm going to play. Hope to have good news soon.

Thanks to everyone who has signed my guestbook and emailed me, I appreciate all of the support. Keep it coming!
