Finally body. I had a positive ovulation test this evening. Amusingly after 2 weeks of tracking my resting body temp it didn't spike this morning, so how accurate is that?
Having done the IUI Monday afternoon, knowing that some (frozen) sperm can live 3 or maybe 4 days after, and that it takes anywhere from 12-36 hours after LH surge to ovulate where does that leave me? Unlikely, but, at least there is a remote chance. At least it makes it easier to turn down the alcohol at the upcoming company picnic, as if the 17 day diet I've started wasn't enough.
I'm a Mom. After years of desire and uncertainty if the day would ever come here I am. Follow along on the adventure..

Try three, part B
Guess what... still no positive ovulation test this morning, but since the tank was only good to today I went ahead and did what we needed to do. The appointment was not with my normal doctor as she is in surgery on Mondays, instead with a midwife (one that several friends spoke quite highly of). I'll give her this, I did feel comfortable with her to converse immediately, and it hurt a hell of a lot less than the attempt last week and hasn't resulted in anywhere near as much blood. Then again, it could be timing related too.
She did give me some hope however in offering three days as still being the viability of frozen sperm. It gives me some hope - providing of course I ovulate this week, which if my second period in May hadn't come early, is when I would have been suppose to ovulate. So now I'll keep an eye for ovulation by Wednesday morning before I give up hope on this attempt.

Still not ovulating.
Still no positive ovulation test. I've got to go in tomorrow regardless, will it show positive tomorrow? What the heck is going on? I don't know. I'm quite at wits end, I can tell you that.

Try three, part A
I used the first specimen from 4102 today. Right before leaving for my appointment I was pleasantly surprised by a call from Fairfax stating they were refunding me for the last specimen. Considering I was expecting nothing this is great news.
The ovulation test didn't come out positive this morning, so I ended up with the doctor talking to me like I'm an idiot ("you need to ovulate for this to work you know" - repeated several times). Yes, yes, but I should be ovulating at this point and here I was with two specimens and a weekend looming. I can't win with my body, that's a fact.
After this time, which took way longer than the previous two and had several bouts of pain, I was bleeding quite a bit. IUI is not pleasant at all.

Waiting for a surge
Depending on how long my luteal phase really is I should be ovulating soon. Two specimens of 4102 are in FedEx's hands right now, and should arrive tomorrow. I've got an appointment for tomorrow afternoon, and another for Thursday afternoon, but may end up needing to shift tomorrows if the test doesn't say I am ovulating. I've also actually been taking my resting temp the past several days, hopefully I can correlate the temp spike with a positive LH surge.
Go figure that it was so early the past times, how much do you want to bet it will be late this time? The specimens shipped on Monday, so they'll be good through this coming Monday, hopefully I won't need to buy myself more time than that.

Definitely not this month
Well things have continued, so it's definitely my period... 6 days early. Can't figure out how to explain that given the ovulation test only being on the early end of the range.
Regardless, after entering the new information into mymonthlycycles it didn't shorten my average cycle calculations, much to my surprise. It does however have me needing to place my next order for next week. I think I'm doing both of 4102 for this cycle, 24 hours apart. Of course, then the question is when will I actually ovulate, right?
