AF Arrived...

I don't know if I should be ecstatic that it arrived without me needing to take meds (so decent chance that I ovulated?) or depressed that it arrived at all and I'm not pregnant.  I'm trying to go with ecstatic, but it's not working.  :(

    Which is huge for me.  It's actually only been 5 weeks since my last period stopped so it's likely that I ovulated and this is a true period.  When I have breakthrough bleeding it usually builds up for 2 1/2 to 3 months (or more).  It just makes me want to cry that I "wasted" that egg.  I mean, we've been going at it like bunnies but I still feel like maybe we missed the window?  I'm having a really hard time letting go of control since I'm used to having such managed cycles.

    I going to go have another watermelon cocktail.  Straining the watermelon was oddly therapeutic.

    Well that's really good news!!  It sounds like this cycle for you was even shorter than mine are!  Have you thought about using a monitor so you can tell for sure??

    I have, but I have a tendency toward OCD (like for real, not hyperbolizing) and I really don't want to obsess.  Also, I think it would freak DH out.  He's still in the "if it happens, it happens" place and I don't want to rock that boat.  

    Are you using the CBE monitor?  Or OPKs?  I jut wouldn't even know when to start peeing on the stick, KWIM?

    I use the monitor and I LOOOOOVE it.  No more guessing.  If I were you and I couldn't be back on BC, I would still do it just as a way to know what's going on.  Since your cycles are (naturally) long like mine, I don't start testing until like CD 12 or so and stop after I O.  You might go through a few sticks a month, but they are much MUCH cheaper than OPKs, you just have to buy the monitor.  When I get pg this month, I'll let you borrow mine.  :)

    I'm sorry, I know what you mean by wasted egg.  DH has been OOT for work the past two months while I've been Oing.  It sucks.

    I use OPKs and like it.  I get happy seeing the stupid smily face.  Although this month I got a positive OPK on the 7th, which I'm assuming means I Oed on the 8th, and I was due my period today...nada.  I hate being a girl sometimes.
