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!
