I like expressing my thoughts in pictures....
If you didn't get what I was trying to say, it's that this time didn't turn out how we would've liked it to. Everything in this two week wait was going really well (or so we thought). Let me explain...
Pretty quickly after the insemination, Sheila began having cramps and such and we just thought it was her ovulating and the swimmers doing their job. Her temperature rose and continued to stay really high for four days and took a small drop (.13 degrees) and stayed that temp for 5 days. In those 9 days she seriously was going to the potty it seemed like every hour, she was nauseated at smells and thoughts of food, she had tender nips and skin color changed around them, overly exhausted, emotional, and just felt like she was preg. Her cramps started up again, so we looked it up and it said that around the 10th day you can have implantation cramping. We were thinking YAY, it must have worked! Then Thursday, July 7th, her temp dropped A LOT (.42 degrees), didn't feel the same feelings anymore and had what seemed like menstrual cramps. Lo and behold, the red lady came Friday morning with a vengeance. :(
So, we've already got this month's plans going and we will try try again until it works. Hopefully this months cycle won't be SO friggen crazy, temperature wise, and just be normal...or whatever normal is.
I leave you with a fail pic that I thought was funny and had to share...

Awwww. :( Well, some people still have periods while pregnant, right? So it could still happen! But if not, next time will probably be easier to figure things out, since you've done it all now.
ReplyDeleteHey, at least this gives me more time to knit you a baby blanket? I found a really cool one.
