I had a Positive smiley OPK on Day 21 or day 18. My period was very light more than spotting, but less blood than usual period in the beginning, stopped for a day, and came back hard coremight have been an attempted implantation? That never happened before so Im not sure if I should start from Day one of the light bleeding or Day one of the hard core one. Either wayIm way past my usual O date and my temp still has not risen. UGH!!! FRUSTRATED!

Cycle two. Def not gonna get pregnant this month. Between a nasty cold for Kitty and then me, and working 80 hours last week I just didn't have the energy to DTD. Pretty sure I did or would have Od last week if my cold didn't mess it up. Going to avoid next month to prevent two feb babies and start again in June. May start charting next month. I never dis before and I think it would be interesting to try.
Congrats Lena!!
