I think I ovulated yesterday. I'm still doing the "old school" method of figuring out my O date --- just plain old temping, charting and observing my CM and CP. I'm too cheap to buy OPKs. In fact, I only finally gave in to getting the "VIP" FF membership yesterday. Previously, I was just using the free membership, but finally decided to suck it up and get the paid one. I figure, I might as well, since I wont be getting PG anytime soon. I can at least have the most advanced technology available through FF to track my cycles while I bide my time until I TTC. I want to be spot-on about my O dates when I finally get the A-OK to TTC. Yesterday, I read that the recommended wait time to TTC after a hysteroscopic resection (the type of surgery I'm getting) is 4-6 months! GOOD LORD! But I digress...back to me thinking I O'd yesterday.
So I think I had EWCM yesterday, but who knows......It's difficult to observe my CM when I'M STILL BLEEDING! Yup, I am still spotting and it's been 23 days since the first day of my period. According to Dr. M, this is all because of my fibroid, and my googlination research confirms that fibroids cause excessive bleeding during, between and/or after a period. I also think I O'd because my temperature increased and was higher than the last 6 previous temperatures, and yesterday's temperature appeared to be a dip in temps. Something I also learned should happen to indicate O occurred. Based on my previous cycles, I regularly O'd around CD 21, 22 or 23....so chances are I O'd yesterday. Too bad I'm not TTC, or I would be in my 2ww and anxiously counting the days until I could test. My LP has previously been 12 days, so I should see AF on Wednesday, 12/17/08. Not sure how my fibroid surgery on 12/11 is going to affect that though.
Anyways, it's Friday. Thank God! The weekend is here! My dad is flying in to visit with me on Monday. I'm excited to spend some time with him. That should keep me busy for a few days until my surgery. T-minus 6 days until I say bye bye fibroid! I pray that the surgery goes smoothly and the fibroid is completely taken out.
SIX MONTHS! I would go INSANE!
ReplyDeleteUgh on the spotting. I have that here and there with the PCOS...and it is NO FUN>
Your surgery is almost here and before you know it you will be able to ttc again. Hoping that the fibroid can be completely removed. Thanks for the heads up on my blog about having 09 as the year...seriously, what was I thinking!!?? big hugs!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a successful surgery. I'm sending byebye stupip fibroids dust your way.
ReplyDeleteAlso VIP FF is awesome. Back when I was temping I loved the features on FF and the VIP is really so much nicer than the freebie software. You'll see.
