Rainbows From Rain

CD 23 ~ 7 dpo A few sharp jabs on the right side in AM.  Weird pulling sensation.  Gas? Gassy with mostly burps Skin feels strange.  Soft?  All over, not just face. Temp 98.29 @ 5am after basically no sleep.  Will take it again when I wake up again. Fmu @ 5am CG and $tree I'm torn because I see something on both but I don't want to feel like a knob for getting my hopes up.  There's nothing I could call a BFP by any means.  So tempted to take that FRER, and I might when I wake up with my SMU.   Temp @ 11am 98.83 😳 Woke up with terrible headache that lasted all day literally until I finally took ibu @ 6pm Left ovary pain randomly 11am 3 tests ??? Possible 3pm ??? Maybe 5:30pm ??? Notsomuch 9pm 😳 frer bfp! $tree and CG 11:30pm confused again 😩 Light cramps, pulling and twinges tonight Super emotional today with various test results Going to bed before I lose my mind.  Praying I wake up to a beautiful, clear BFP!   Firs...

So I'm just gonna copy and paste the notes I kept today regarding my symptoms because I'm really tired and lazy lol. ClinicalGuard & $tree BFN @ 7am Temp took a nosedive (implant?) Fatigue Increased appetite Sharp pains left side (ovary?) x 3 CG bfn w/urine @ 10am $tree bfn w/urine + blood @ 10am Napped from 11am-1:45pm, still feel very tired Weird pulling sensation in upper uterus Not much action today :( Teeth hurting all over (not specific tooth) Hpt afternoon nap stark white.  Feeling discouraged now. BFN @ 10pm too :( but ewcm is back One sharp shooting pain right ovary pm Gassy w/lots of burps Flew into a blind rage over headphones of all things.  Felt like I was about to snap!  Not like me at all. Ewcm is back tonight I was disappointed at my lack of symptoms.  No cramping, no spotting.  I have random stabby pains in my uterus, ovaries and breasts.  Lots of gas with fishy burps (taking fish oil).  The rage/irritability is craz...

Good Morning! My chart this morning....   Happy to see it's still way above the CL!  And the overlay......  Current cycle is in green .  March cycle is purple and February cycle is blue .  My temp previously dipped on 5 dpo but mine didn't.  It actually went up!  I'm hoping that's a good sign! So far this morning I have been really sleepy - I keep falling asleep sitting up.  Doing my "sleep googling" again.  So far no cramps.  Just weird twinges I'll feel in my uterus, and an occasional sharp jab.  I've never experienced this except when I was pregnant with Jackson and that was 2 days before I got my bfp.  Not sure of the dpo because I wasn't temping.  But based on when we BD'd, I would have been between 6- 8 dpo.  I went with 8dpo as the day of my bfp because of the dating ultrasound but I really think that's off cuz that would have meant the BD'g was four days before O.  Not unheard of, but unlikely. I had ewc...

  My daily chart.... And the overlay with the two previous charts.....     As you can see, my chart is looking decent - not really any different from my previous charts but as long as my temp is above the coverline it's all good! So I'm 4dpo today.  I must admit I actually feel very positive and optimistic today about my chances.  I've had a runny/stuffy nose, been somewhat emotional and mood swingy today.  Probably the biggest "clue" to analyze is that I've had off and on AF-like cramps all day.  Having them now too only it feels more right sided tonight whereas earlier today it was more central like AF usually is.  I think it's a couple days too soon for implantation, but science knows so very little still about the process, that it's hard to say.  Some implant sooner, some later.  And they say the actual implantation process can take 2-3 days too, so who's to say mine didn't start today?   Google was not really much help. ...

We are home from vacation!  ☹️ I'm 3 dpo today and things are looking good.  Had bleeding gums when I brushed my teeth this morning, which is unusual for me.   Have sneezed and had a runny nose a lot tonight.  Took an Easy@Home HPT so I would have a baseline negative to compare when I start testing early cuz I always do. Here's today's chart and the negative hpt.       And the overlay.  I'm super tired tonight but I also only slept for >3 hours last night.  I need to do my Monistat treatment but gonna take my bedtime meds first.  Then do some nightly googling and hopefully get some sleep.   One noteworthy thing:  last time I recorded bleeding gums on a chart was the cycle I got pregnant with Jackson, but I didn't record that until the day after my bfp and I'm not sure how far along I was.  Maybe 8-10 dpo or even 12 dpo. Restless legs are driving me batty.  :(  Symptoms ~ 3 dpo Optimism Level  3  🙂 D...

I'm 2dpo today (April 21st, 2017).  I began this cycle on April 4th (my 3rd PP cycle).  I ovulated a day or two earlier than my usual, which could be due to some fertility supplement I'm taking - which I'll go into detail about in a future post. Here's my positive OPK progression:   My test on CD 15 around 1pm was the first one I considered positive, but then my 8pm test as well as my CD 16 tests were also positive.  My most positive test was on CD 16 around noon.  This is the only one where the test line was darker than the control line, though not dramatically so.  This is what I would consider to be my peak day, also the last day of ewcm and the day I felt ovulation pain (around 6-7pm that day).  I don't always feel O pains, but they were very prominent this month and on the right ovary. This is my chart as of today (2dpo):   I'm hoping to see my crosshairs tomorrow at 3dpo!  This is the best looking chart I've had yet - which gives me hop...

Welcome to my blog!  I've always been a private blogger - typing posts mostly to get my feelings out, but also to document certain aspects of my life from depression to infertility and pregnancy. The reason I started this blog is so that I can begin sharing things publicly while still remaining anonymous (I'm a very antisocial private person).  😂 Reading other people's blogs has helped me enormously, especially in recent years, and so here I am - sharing my knowledge and experiences with the internet! A little about me.... I'm 38 as of January.  I am very happily married to my husband of going on 10 years.  I have two children from a previous marriage who are 13 and 15 (teen girls - yikes!).  I am known as Jenna.  My hubby will be referred to as either Aussie, hubby, DH, or whatever colorful name I pick while writing!  My girls I will refer to as Pickle (J) and Banana (S) or as DD #1 (S) and DD #2 (J).  My angel baby boy, whom I will discuss in ...
