It's amazing when you're ttc the kind of things that will "make your day." Today, my day has been made by an appropriate BBT rise this morning! Last cycle, as some of you may recall, I did not get a rise in BBT until almost a week after getting a +OPK, which had never happened before. I still don't know what that was about. Maybe I surged, but didn't ovulate for awhile? Who knows. Today though, my BBT has risen the way that it usually does: on the third morning following a +OPK. This doesn't really help me pinpoint ovulation exactly though. It could either mean that I don't ovulate until nearly 48+ hours after a +OPK or that it takes my body an extra day to get a rise in temp. I'm assuming that latter is probably more accurate and hoping that it is normal, not indicative of a problem. I have a book that is almost a little alarmist about BBT. It makes it sound like you should get a fast, dramatic BBT rise and that if you don't, it's a weaker ovulation. Anyway, I'm hoping that I ovulated on Saturday, preferably early in the day. That would have been good timing with the insemination. So, I am hopefully 2dpo today.
On another note, I am looking at the calendar and thinking that this 2ww seems long. I don't know why, but it seems longer than last time. The difference may be that at this point in the cycle last time, I had not had a BBT rise and was therefore not feeling optimistic about the cycle. I was basically waiting for it to be over so I could figure out what to do next. Somehow, feeling a little more optimistic is making the wait seem really long this time.
