Getting Closer!

Ok, ok, ok, OK!! I saw some samples of the ferning pattern on the lens of my ovulation microscope this morning!! I was so excited; I even texted my sister (I had to confess to her that we were trying and she swears on her life that she won't tell anyone). I told DH about it later in the day, and his response was, "Cool, can I see it?" I had already cleaned it off. I'll show him it again tomorrow though.

Still no CM, although, I checked my cervix around 9:15pm, and it seemed to have a different consistency than what it has been. I couldn't quite tell it if was creamy or sticky, and if it was either of those, it wouldn't be very much. I'm going to still mark the day as "dry" because I've seen creamy and sticky CM before in the bathroom, so I know it can come out if it really wants to.

It didn't take much to convince myself that with the partial ferning and being on CD12, I should start testing for a +OPK twice daily now.

I've been mentally placing a 1-10 value on the darkness of each line on the OPK. CD9 I consider a 2; CD10  and CD11 are 3s. My early CD12 test was a 4. I could tell it was a tiny bit darker than the previous 2. I tested again tonight, and it was the darkest yet, so I put it at a 5. Here's my best attempt at a picture of all of them. As I was putting them together, it felt like an art project, and I couldn't help but think, "Wow, Sarah, look how far you've come." lol

I'm nervous about testing at work around 12:30, but I don't think anyone will notice if I stay for a bit in the second bathroom that isn't by my boss' office. Time to get a game plan and be creative!

DH is now on Spring Break, so there shouldn't be anything that would take precedence over me telling him, "I think we should BD tonight." Those are his magic words that I am fertile and need him to do his part. :D
