So Nutella has been charting as usual…temperatures, OPK’s, and other typical ways of tracking one’s ovulation. The other day she got the normal two dark lines on her OPK stick. I noticed on the same day that I was feeling a little bloated and had some pain on my right side so I thought, what the hell, and peed on an OPK. Lo and behold, two dark lines. Never done that before, never tracked my ovulation even for a second. It was fun though, to be on that side of things
Hopefully Nutella will have no problems getting pregnant. I did offer that if she did have problems and we ran out of money, that I would offer to do it later on (I’m a couple years younger than her). In all honesty, I have little to no desire to be pregnant, but I’m pretty sure my body and mind could handle it. The only thing that freaks me out about it is the actual giving birth part, but I know I’m not alone. Anyway, I hope it never has to come to that, but it’s something I never thought I would even give a moment’s consideration to…but people sometimes surprise themselves.

Right now the odds of us wanting to move to NJ are very slim and we are both pretty set in only wanting 1 kid camp. But you never konw, things can always change…..
No insem for me this month, this was my last month of pure charting.

Yeah, the odds for us ovulating at the same time are pretty slim, considering I usually have a 27 or 28 day cycle and Strawberry has more like a 30-31 day cycle. Oh, and the fact that my body O’d 3 days early this month. It was weird.

My partner has offered up her eggs and uterus for me if I can’t get pregnant…and she REALLY doesn’t want to give birth!
It’s nice to know there’s a backup option, isn’t it?

I’ve peed on one of Laurie’s sticks before… It was negative & I’ve peed on a HPT, also negative. haha. I get them for *free* from work, so that is a awesome perk!! Free HPT!!
I hope that things go as you guys planned. Only one kid?? What if she has twins from the insem???

If multiples happen, they’ll happen. But we’re only *trying* for one.
