So, I bought a bunch of OPKs online last month after deciding to add them into the TTC mix. I figured it would really help pinpoint my O day since I often get dotted cross hairs** from my temps and CM alone.
I usually O around CD 18, so I started testing on CD15. I got a really faint line, but with OPKs the line needs to be as dark as the control line or darker for it to be a positive (unlike a HPT, which "a line is a line"). I tested again CD16 and got another faint line. CD17 I forgot to test. CD18 there was no second line at all.
Now, plugging in more temps and CM, Fertility Friend tells me it looks like I O'd on CD17, the day I forgot to test! Of course, because I didn't test and get a + test, I have dotted cross hairs once again. Although at least I'm almost certain that was O day since the next day there was no faint line the next day! Way to go Katie!
In other news, my parents are in Punta Cana this week, so Troy and I are house-sitting/dog-sitting while they are out of country. We just did this for them about a month ago (I have told my mom I am jealous to no end! They went to Puerto Rico in February), but at least this time both of the dogs are healthy and one didn't have a vice dropped on their foot just in time to watch them! I'm also watching over the office while they are gone. Not as fun as the dog-sitting, but since I'm alone, get all my work done quickly and it's pretty slow this week, I'm able to watch Netflix! (shhh, don't tell!....although my mom does it too, haha).
Friday afternoon my SIL is coming into town from the States and it will be really nice to visit with her. I've only met her in person once, and it was for the wedding! We got to spend a lot of time together and it was nice, but at the same time, there was so much going on that we never got to just relax and hang out. Troy also didn't get to see her almost at all since he was staying at the apartment and her and I were at my parent's house. She left the day after the wedding so they didn't get any together time and he was sad since he hadn't seen her in over 3 years (all of them are spread out everywhere in the world, SIL is the closest geographically to Troy).
Friday we also have plans for my good friend (she was my MOH) to come see us as well. She is the one that is 6 months pregnant that I spoke about in my last post. I can't wait to see her and talk to her about the baby and pregnancy, even though we text and chat...it's not the same! I also want to see the belly! I saw her about 3 weeks ago and couldn't even see anything different (she didn't know then), but she told me she has really rounded out and "popped"! This is my first close friend who is pregnant so it's very exciting!
**Dotted cross hairs mean that there is conflicting information on when your O day could be. Fertility Friend picks the most accurate one. If the cross hairs are solid, it means it is the day you would have ovulated.
