Emotions II

After that last post, it was 10 more days before I ovulated.  Do you think it's possible for your body to know when you are 4 days pregnant?

This post is just a secret reward for those of you who read this blog--you get to be the first to know.  Sh.  I want to give it a few days to see who will find out from this before we announce it.  So don't tell anyone, just leave me a comment and I will know you know.  Don't worry, I won't last long not telling.  We're looking at a December baby.  I just couldn't let 2013 go by with another baby for Neoma and not me.

Some details, because I know you want them:

Last Friday, 11 days post ovulation, my temperature had dipped.  I don't know if the disrupted sleep I had the night before had contributed to that, or if it was just a thing that happened on its own, but because the timing was right for my periods to start, I was anticipating spotting or bleeding all day.  I even had another crazy emotional episode that day where I started bawling for no good reason (see the previous post).  I explained it away to the sisters I was in the car with (we were on our annual sister's retreat), but I mis-remembered the timing of the last episode--I thought it had happened just before my last period started and that this was going to be a new, horrible PMS trend for me, similar to ovulation nausea over the last few years.  But then the next day, my temperature was back up.  I compulsively checked my cervical fluid multiple times a day for the next couple of days, searching it for the streaks of red that would herald menses.  My period starts anywhere from 10 to 13 days after ovulation, and I have, occasionally and inexplicably, had my temperature remain high for a couple of days into the start of my period.  But this time there was never any red.  And the temperature stayed high.  It's now day 16, and because that's 3 days longer than any luteal phase I have ever had, it's official--I'm pregnant!  

Hee, hee.

PS--No, I won't be taking a pregnancy test.  For my opinion on those, please see I did it, and it didn't help! and This is a little big absurd.  

PS2--This morning I was far hungrier than what I ate last night should warrant.  And the thought of eating anything too sweet or too not sweet made me sick.  And I had to eat some fruit.  Hee, hee.
