I'm Officially Fertile!

Let the BD commence!  DH and I are so stoked to see where this month takes us.  OPK was positive last night, but of course this is due to the trigger.  That was the first time I got two definate lines.  It was so amazing to see, I've never seen the test line so dark.  LOL.  EWCM is still present and I even showed it to DH, which may have been TMI, but he needs to know what's going on in my body.  Now that I know I have 2 follies, it makes this even more exciting!

I was on the PAIF boards last night, and I saw one of the gals is pregnant with twins after going through her second medicated cycle.  Her BFP resulted from Clomid + Trigger + TI.  The same protocol we're on now.  That made my night :)  To make it even better, I found out she was team purple... pink + blue  = purple.  Get it?  I told DH about it and that made him super happy.  So our TI schedule is as follow:  24, 32 and 38 hrs after injection.  Yep, hubby will be wore out.  LOL.

I did notice some side effect symptoms from the trigger last night.  Weird sensations in my pelvic area and a little pain (ovulation pain?).  I was reading that sometimes women experience pregnancy-like symptoms after getting the trigger, so maybe that was what I was feeling.  BBTs are still low, but I'm hoping for a spike and high temps afterwards ;)  Until then, I will begin the prometrium on Monday, and can't test until the 26th.

That's all for today.  I'm wearing my lucky socks again.  Stick babies, stick.

CD 11... Two Days til Monitoring

So today is CD 11 and I have yet to see a positive OPK.  I forgot to do one yesterday, but either way, it was negative today.  I did notice that my CM is getting better.  I really haven't been checking it like I should.  I keep forgetting.  I checked it today because I've been noticing that I have evidence on my underwear, if you know what I mean.  It was bordering between creamy (last night it was creamy) and watery.  I put watery on FF and it automatically said that I ovulated today, even though I put a negative OPK.  So maybe I should go back and change it to creamy.  I dunno.  I'll just leave it for now.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I have two more days until my monitoring appt, and I'm getting nervous and excited at the same time.  Nervous for the bad news, excited for the good.  DH will be going with me this time, so hopefully he'll be bringing some of his lucky mojo with him.  Also today, we begin TI.  I still haven't been feeling too good since the job loss, but I hope things will change in the boudouir (sp?)

In other news, I got the job!  It's only PT, but something is better than nothing.  I start on Thursday, which is in three days.  I told hubby, and he's happy.  I also wrote an email to one of the companies that manufacture the medical equipment in my field of health care.  They conduct learning workshops, and I basically wrote and asked them if I could be of any assistance to them during their workshops.  Hoping this can jumpstart my educational/teaching opportunity.  I sent them my CV and some studies I've done.  I'm hoping I hear a positive response.  I threw in some names of people I've met that I know are associated with them, so maybe that'll give me the boost that I need.

Other than that, no further updates.  Haven't resumed my exercise regime like I planned.  Perhaps tomorrow.
