I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant this cycle. Scratch that. I'm not fucking pregnant. And not being pregnant is pretty hard to think about.
DPO after DPO - and nothing. I hated coming to this blog with nothing to write about.
My boobs aren't sore.
I'm not bloated.
I've got just as much gas as I would any other day of the month.
No metal taste in the mouth.
No implantation cramps.
No implantation bleeding.
My cervix is like a yo-yo- there's no rhyme or reason to that damn thing.
Cervical mucus? Hell I think I always have cervical mucus.
Two BFNs. One at 10 DPO and one at 12DPO.
Not. Fucking. Pregnant.

Number Crunching: TTC
22 hours from positive OPK to first sign of really wet CM.
8 hours from positive OPK to BD.
3 hours from positive OPK to negative OPK.
19 hours between negative OPK to positive OPK.
14 hours between BD and first sign of really wet CM.
10:30pm time of sex.
11:00pm earliest time the sperm entered uterus per Webmd.
November 25, 2012 @ 2:30am is 36 hours from positive OPK.
November 24, 2012 @ 2:30pm is 24 hours from positive OPK.
November 24, 2012 @ 2:30am is 12 hours from positive OPK.
If I ovulated 12 hours from the positive OPK the sperm was technically waiting for 3.5 hours. Plenty of time for the sperm to prepare and penetrate the ovum. If I ovulated 24 hours from positive OPK the sperm was waiting for 15 hours. This is still within a 24 hour period, the sperm should be capable of penetrating.
If I have sex at 10:30 tonight and I ovulate 36 hours from the positive OPK then the sperm will be waiting around 3.5 hours.
I'm gathering up eyelashes, wishbones, dandelions, pennies, and birthday candles.

Cycle Day 6
I've been googling OPK stuff and I found a great website with some interesting FAQs.
POAS - OPK FAQ
To date I've pee'd on 5 OPKs. This is cycle day 6.
I've slowed down on the baby forums. I started seeing a lot of the same posts and since I don't have anything new to report bodily function wise it was getting a little boring. I'm done with my period, and now I'm waiting for the smiley face.
Waiting! Ugh. I hate the waiting.
And if you don't know, Clearblue digital ovulation predictor kits give you a smiley face when an LH surge is detected. And if that sentence gave you more questions then answers then let me rephrase. The smiley face means HAVE SEX! (For those TTCing).
I'm worried I'll get my smiley face on Thanksgiving, at my mother's house, five hours away. I can just imagine us excusing ourselves from the turkey and sneaking off to the blow up mattress in the spare bedroom. EW!

Cycle Day 1 - Again
I started my second cycle November 13. I woke up to it. It was a nice little, whoa before my morning coffee. It was five/six days early.
Before my D&C I had pretty regular cycles, 28/30 days. Nothing crazy. Now, I have no idea. It's like I'm 13 and starting my period for the first time.
BUT since this marks the beginning of my second cycle it means we are free to start trying again! Whoo hoo!
That wasn't an accurate expression of my true excitement. I say again: WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOO!
And let me just say, In my experience peeing on an HPT is like taking your car to the car wash. Want rain? Wash your car. Want a period? Pee on a stick.

Big Fat Negative
Not Pregnant.
I'm around 9DPO or 10DPO...maybe. I didn't track so I have no idea when I ovulated. It's my first cycle after the D&C so I don't even know if I'll have a 28 day cycle. But I'm obsessed with being pregnant.
It is literally all. I. think. about!
At Target today I found myself in the pregnancy aisle. "Found myself," isn't exactly accurate. I walked over there on purpose. When I didn't see the tests near prenatal vitamins or lube I hunted them down. But I like to think it was a "whoops" moment, like oh what have we here? And, don't mind if I do.
I bought the 6 day advance early pregnancy test. Not the digital Cadillacs but by no means a jalopy. I had to pee at Target. No, despite what you just thought I did not check at Target. Although it did cross my mind.
I pee'd on it when I got home, in secret. I hid the remaining stick in my makeup bag. I didn't tell my husband.
It was negative, of course. I didn't expect it to be positive. But then again, that's not quite accurate either. In a little way, in a tiny irrational hopeless obsessed way, I did expect that second line. I still do.
It's in the bathroom, behind the towels. In case I want to check back later.
