Waiting...

I am waiting for 2 things.

First, I am waiting for summer. The last day of school is in 5 1/2 days! Today and tomorrow will be my official last day to service all of my students. There are so many field trips and fun activities that are scheduled for the last week of school that I may not see some of my students. If I do, great! But I want to be able to have an official last day so that I can give them their summer packets (things to work on over the summer) and some of the things in my room that I want to send home with them (homework folders, sticker charts). This time last year, I was dragging. I couldn't wait for school to end. This year, it hasn't really sunk in. I am excited for summer but I am not miserable at school like I was last year.

Second, I am waiting to ovulate. Dom and I decided to give this month a try even though my CNM recommended waiting one month. She said this because the first month off the pill can be very unpredictable; therefore, stressful to plan when to have sex. I have read that it is harder to estimate a due date on long months as well. These weren't good enough reasons for us, Dom especially. I knew I would stress about these things no matter if we waited one month to officially try or not. We spent a small fortune on ovulation predictor kits and I have used them every day since CD (cycle day) 12. I am currently on CD 20 and yet to ovulate. Before I got on the pill, my cycles were frequently 35-40 days long. I don't know if I can compare these cycles because this was 9 years ago and I was only a teenager (you aren't supposed to be regular then, are you?). But if I can compare them, it may not be unusual that I haven't ovulated yet. Until I do, I'll keep testing!
