I'm ovulating!

I can't believe it! I was starting to think that I wasn't going to ovulate this cycle, which also made me wonder if I would EVER ovulate. Of course, this is a bit of an overreaction but I can't help myself. That's what I do.

On Sunday, I starting wondering if I should start using the ovulation predictor kit in the afternoon. I had been testing in the morning. Most things you read say that you can do it anytime of the day but between 2-8 pm is best. You have to watch for false positives if you test in the morning since your urine is so concentrated. Since I was yet to get a positive, I didn't think it made much of a difference.

But I got the itch (women's intuition?). I tested Sunday afternoon, and nothing. Monday morning, nothing. Monday afternoon, POSITIVE! (by the way, this was CD 24.) I thought it was a fluke since my urine was very dark in color (concentrated). I immediately thought of the false positive phenomenon that happens in the morning with concentrated urine. So I tested again this morning, and it was another positive. You would have thought I got a positive pregnancy test! I was so excited! It's just nice to know that we can give this a true shot!

Dom played this down. He said that he didn't want to put to much pressure on it and if it doesn't happen this month, we will try again. I don't think he gets it. I will anticipate ovulation, then anticipate my period until we get pregnant. I think most women would.

So if I do my math right, I am due for my period (or not!!) on approximately June 10th. That is 14 days from today (you will ovulate anywhere from 12-36 hours after you get a positive on the ovulation predictor kit). We will be in San Francisco. Not sure how that will play out.

Until then, I will happy knowing that my body works!
