Here We Go Again

Well, the tank has arrived as has the +OPK.  The tank got here yesterday, CD11 and get this- Fedex left it outside of my building on the sidewalk!  I live in an apartment/condo building and last time, they brought it inside and left it in front of my door.  I don't know how long it was outside, but it was definitely out on the city sidewalk for anyone to take, including my drug dealing neighbors.  Sigh.  I am not going to bother complaining to Fedex because I know they will say it's my fault.  I should have been more specific.  I just don't know how you leave a 22lb tank that says "medical specimen" all over it outside on the sidewalk.

Ok, moving on.  This month, I bought those cheapie internet OPKs from Amazon, which seem to work pretty well.  The nice thing about them is that since they're so cheap, I just went ahead an tested every four hours.  This did make for an uncomfortable couple of days because it also meant holding my urine for four hours at a time, uhg.  I also still have the Clearblue digital to back up the cheapies.  So, today, Clearblue and the cheapies were negative this morning.  I did the cheapies at work- noon and 4pm, both looked clearly negative.  At 8pm, Clearblue is positive and the cheapie looks pretty positive.  I think the test line still looks a little lighter than the control line, but I don't know, I haven't used these before.  I feel pretty confident that my surge just started between 4 and 8pm.  Now, the waiting to do the insemination is a little stressful.  It's like seeing the +OPK makes me want to just go ahead and do the insemination, but I don't think I ovulate that close to the OPK and I know those frozen swimmers only live for maybe 24 hours, possibly less.  The recommendation is to do the insemination within 18 hours, which would be at like 2pm tomorrow.  I work until 5pm though and I really can't/shouldn't try to leave early.  So, I will likely do it when I get home from work.  Fridays are my most stressful day at work too, which really sucks.  Getting out of work on time is usually a major issue on a Friday.  So, my real challenge for tomorrow is going to be keeping my head in the game at work, not stressing myself out too much, and simultaneously getting out on time!
