Pregnancy: Day 1

Yes, I am in the full throes of hypoprenia. For the last 2 weeks of temperature tracking my basal temp. has been at about 97.0 for a few days, then 96.7 for a few days, back and forth. This swing is within the range of "normal" not necessarily signaling anything. It is a little low for if I were pregnant. OK, it is actually a lot low for if I was pregnant, but I'm not ready to admit that it would be an impossible temperature for if I was, so I will just say it is a little low. But then today my temperature was 97.7! That is a nearly 1 degree temperature jump! That is definitely significant. Never mind the fact that I also have a cold today. And Willow had a fever 2 days ago. One degree is way too low to signify a fever.

I know that a one day jump doesn't mean anything until it is constant for more than a week, then it might mean ovulation. Nevertheless, every ovulation starts with one day of high temperature, and every pregnancy starts with ovulation. Therefore, today it the first day of the rest of my pregnancy. (until tomorrow. We'll see if it's changed by then.)

I love you Carol, especially since you are a crazy hypopregniac.
