CD1

Yes!  AF has arrived, so I am finally in the TTC cycle!!!  Of course, this is actually one day earlier than usual, so now I'm questioning the timing of the arrival of the sperm, but it's too late to change it now without having to pay another $75.  I don't know, it should be fine.  Schedule of events:

AF should be hanging around until Monday.  Then, I can resume temp charting, which I now despise.  I'll start OPK's (ovulation predictor kits) probably by next weekend.  Then, the sperm will be here on the 26th, which is CD12, which was supposed to be CD11.  I don't usually get a + OPK until CD14 or 15 though, so that's why I think it will be ok, but the first month that I charted I did get a + OPK on day 11.  Uhg.  So, I should be doing the insemination at the very end of June, like the 29th or 30th.  Then, I should know if it worked the weekend of July 14th/15th.  I don't know what that's going to be like for me because my sister and brother-in-law are supposed to be here that weekend.  So, waiting is obviously a major theme here.  I've waited for awhile to try.  Now, it's wait for AF to be over...wait for a +OPK...wait for two weeks to find out...

Realistically, this is my first try with at-home insemination and frozen sperm; the chances are not great.  So, I'm trying not to get too excited and just assume that this will be the first of probably several tries.  I don't want to assume that it absolutely won't work though, otherwise why would I be doing it?

If by some miracle this does work, I think my due date will be March 22nd (if you go by CD1).
