I've been tracking my BBT on the fertility friend website. I'm not totally sure if it is accurate, as it seems to think that I ovulated on CD16 this cycle. My temperature chart link is on the right hand side bar, in case you wanted to see for yourself (or if you're like me and like looking at charts and graphs as much as I do). I was expecting O-day to fall around CD23-25 like it did last cycle. This is an interesting curve ball.
I'll take CD16 over CD25 any cycle! Shorter cycles means more chances per year to have a pregnancy, less waiting around for ovulation, and less waiting around for the two week wait. Well okay, the TWW is still the same, but it will seem less lengthy. What CD16 also means for us is that we missed the window for an August little one, but since we weren't supposed to be trying anyhow, I guess its not a big shocker. Although I know my Mom and Grandma would have loved an August baby to share in their birthdays. Next cycle I will have to monitor much more closely.
I used to think I'd be able to pick the month our little one would be born in. I have a few favorites. I've quickly realized that you don't get to pick and choose. At this point I don't even have a preference for boy vs girl. I think this is how you know that you are really ready to be a parent, when the small things no longer matter and the bigger picture does. We just want a healthy happy little one to add to our family. Something in my heart tells me that it is coming soon enough, and that we should enjoy our life now as we currently know it..
