The Big O

WARNING: THIS POST MAY BE PLACED UNDER THE CATEGORY OF "TOO MUCH INFORMATION", SO IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO WOMEN'S ISSUES THEN YOU SHOULD SKIP THIS POST.

Right off the bat I am just going to state that this is not about an orgasms. I only state this to get your dirty little mind out of the gutter . . .

I must say that being in touch with your body is a wonderful thing. I have been reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility (TCOYF) and using the TCOYF software.

Now it says I should be ovulating today and right on track I felt it last night - that little twinge of the egg erupting from the ovary. I was so excited I told thie husband (that just guaranteed that he wouldn't even touch me for the next 72 hours at least!)

Who knows maybe it takes a little while for the LH hormone to become detectable.

It's really interesting on the fertility homefront because everyone I know is fertility crazy right now. It is now common for my work friend Jen and I to be discussing all kinds of personal topics at work. In our defense we do try to be discreet. Also my friend Melissa and my sister's best friend have also just started charting and "trying". Plus my friend Christina just got pregnant.

Apparently the hormones are flying!

As for us we are still in watch and wait mode. We aren't ready to start "trying". So we have plenty of time to watch and learn and be able to have peace of mind that we aren't pregnant yet.

Really I am not obcessing about this but I am just constantly aware of my cycles now. Now I hear Ann in my head saying - "you are obsessing so get over yourself!".

Anyways - it's good to feel fertile I guess even if we aren't doing anything with it yet.
