Happy Happy Joy Joy

I am doing my Happy Happy Joy Joy dance right now. Why? Well, Moe gave me a peak fertiltiy reading this morning! WOOHOO! I was so excited to see the 3 bars with the little eggie on my monitor. So what does Peak Fertility mean? After referring back to Moe's instruction booklet it says that "Peak Fertility will be indicated on the day of the LH surge, as well as the following day(p17)". Well, what is an LH surge? LH is luteinizing hormone, a hormone that triggers ovulation to occur approximately 24-36 hours later. So I received my first Peak Fertility reading this morning, meaning I am about to ovulate, in about 24-36 hours. That means that today and tomorrow will be the best times to BD. After the 2 days of Peak Fertility readings Moe should give me one more day of High Fertility because the egg can survive for up to 24 hours after ovulation and has a chance of being fertilized then. After this, I should go back to getting Low Fertiltiy readings and then I will enter the TWW! So, if my actual O day is tomorrow, CD16, then on CD30 I should be 14DPO and should be able to test. That is nearly a "normal" cycle. Does anyone really realize what that means to me, for me? I seriously seriously do not think I have ever had a "normal" cycle and now here I am like 2 days off from a "normal" cylce.

EEE! I am just feeling really optimistic about this cycle. Oh, I don't want to get my hopes up just to be disappointed in a few weeks. But I don't want to be negative about it either. Mine and S's future baby needs positive energy, that starts with the egg and sperm, positive energy. Okay, now I sound like some hippy dippy new age freakola. But I really do believe that being positive about this and sending positive energy out and taking positive energy in will help with my anxiousness and stress.



I am such an organizational neat freak. So of course I have charts and spreadsheets for all of mine and S's TTC information, including my cycle information. So I went back and looked at all of my cycles since S and I started TTC and I got my average cycle length, which is 36 days. So I know when my O day is, I know what day I should test, what about my EDD if this cycle is successful? Well, based on my O date, my EDD would be 12/7/10. I know if you have been TTC for any length of time you have done that too, looked up what your EDD would be if that cycle was successful. Haven't you? If you go by my LMP based on my average cycles length of 36 days (which I think I'm O'ing earlier this cycle) my EDD would be 12/14/10, that is with my LP being an average of 14 days. I averaged my LP for the cycles since S and I started TTC and the average was 13.875 days, so that is right there at 14 days. The only thing is they varied a great deal. Guestimating when my O date was using OPKs, my shortest LP was 11 days and my longest was 18 days. That is a pretty big difference.

I have progesterone suppossotories (200mg) left over from when I was pregnant. My doctor told me that I could take 1 a day after I O'd because I was concerned with my low progesterone levels. I'm just not sure if I should or not. I don't want to mess anything up with taking them or without taking them. Maybe I could go in for a 7DPO progesterone BW level and if my levels are low I could start taking the suppossotories then. I think I am going to go in for a BPT too. When I got my BFP the HPT was showing negative, even the one in the doctor's office, but the BPT showed positive. It was a few days later before the HPT was showing positive. AGH! I just need to relax and stop over analyzing everything and getting stressed out. Positive energy in, positive engery out.

Wish me luck!
