Positive Cycle Progression

This morning, as most mornings now, I woke up at 6am to take my BBT. I've been tracking my temperatures just to ensure my cycles are going along happily and as planned. So far I have noticed a general overall increase in my temperatures of about 0.2C on average, tracking this cycle as compared to last cycle. This is a big positive because my acupuncturist indicated to me that my temperatures were too low. I've also been using a heating pad to try to increase blood flow. It is nice and comforting if nothing else.

Later in the morning, I decided to take an OPK just for kicks and because I had two non-digital ones left to waste. It came back with a pink line on it, which was surprising to me at only CD17. The line wasn't as dark as the control, but still a positive sign that I may ovulate earlier than CD25 this month. I plan to retest with my last remaining non-digital stick on Tuesday to see if it's any darker. It would seem to me that my body is balancing out somewhat.

For the rest of this week, I am going to try to get a 20 page paper completed and work on readings for my professional practitioners course and exam, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, next weekend. If I pass, I'll be one step closer to my professional designation. Hopefully I can focus and get babies off my brain for three days!
