Updated my pretty letter-board to be accurate and reflective of the decision that I made earlier this week to "restart" my cycle. I just felt like continuing on the same cycle count was wrong because the spotting lasted for more than two days. So yesterday was CD 17 and I finally got my positive OPKs! Practically all week I've had fertile cervical mucus, ovulation pain on the left side, and a fertile cervical position, but earlier in the week my OPK tests would come back negative as heck. I just trusted the physical signs that my body was giving me and told Hubby that it was time to BD. I think (and hope) that the timing was right and that I'll get my BFP this cycle.
On another note aside from the baby-making journey, things at home have been particularly stressful since the beginning of the month. I had a massive project that took more time to complete than I had anticipated, and at the same time I was dealing with my son's behavior issues, and my brother (who lives with us) and his potential exposure to someone with COVID. It's been a hell of a month, and I'm really looking forward to ending my summer semester next week. I am so burnt out and I feel like it's apparent in every aspect of my life, from school to interacting with my family and now even to trying to conceive. I'm just feeling emotionally and mentally exhausted and I desperately need a break.
Can anyone else relate?
