We decided to take a break for a couple/few months. No more opks, no more temping, no more checking my CM, no more herbal supplements, no more doctor visits, no more timed intercourse. We were just going to enjoy being us again. We had planned to do our best to avoid making love around the time that i usually ovulate. Which is typically CD20ish.
On Monday i had noticed a bit of EWCM, so i was like, huh? Its only CD15, thats weird. When i got home from work i decided to take an opk just to see if my body was telling me something. So imagine my surprise when this is the result....
Yeah thats positive. Since when do i get a positive opk on CD15?! In the 5 cycles before i tested from CD10-30ish and each cycle i didnt get a positive until at least CD20. I was pretty surprised. I was a little shocked too. And then a little nervous, because we had had sex recently. I texted Chris to let him know and told him how its actually a good thing i'm ovulating sooner rather then later. That sooner means a better egg quality. His response was that he liked the sound of that. And we decided it would be ok if we made love again that night. Yes, i know, we had decided we werent going to try. But we did!
So yesterday was CD16 and i took another opk when i got home from work. Here is the result...
Crazy positive, right? Again i let Chris know and we discussed what to do. Ultimately we decided to not have sex again for a couple days. Here is why...
We recently have started the process of purchasing and building our own home. We are first time home buyers so we are learning what a headache the entire thing is. The company who is building our house is wonderful. We could not be more pleased. We have already picked our homesite, and picked all details, from the shingles to the door knobs. All we are waiting on is the mortgage company and getting a couple more questions answered. We meet with the mortgage company on Monday. Possibly sign papers there. Then wait to hear back from Nathan, our consultant, and then schedule our pre construction meeting, give our down payment and break ground! With all that being said building a house is expensive! Wait...I take that back...getting a mortgage is expensive! We werent aware of all the fees and all the balogna we would have shoved in our faces.
All of this has happened since Sunday, March 4th. Planned our house on Sunday, got a positive opk on Monday, found out about the vultures at the mortgage company and got a super positive opk and Tuesday. So we went from being alright with going ahead and trying this month anyway and then the next day being like, umm, maybe we should wait to see what happens with this house thing. At this point we cant really afford to have a baby and a new house at the same time. I have this feeling that i'll end up being pregnant this month, only because it wouldnt be the best timing.
If i am, we would be excited and happy, because we have a lot of support so we could do it, it just wouldnt be ideal. Thats usually how it happens, right? Life is so cruel and surprising.
We shall see how this turns out in a couple weeks or so. Stay tuned!
