Here we go again! :)

With all my usual ovulating late in my cycles, I was really surprised to have EWCM on cycle day 14!! :) I had a couple of days (CD8 and 9) even earlier but it was only a little bit, so I thought maybe it was just another "blip" and I would get the real deal later in my cycle (like after CD20 at the very earliest). But after 8 days of lots of it, I think I have ovulated. My temp is starting to rise (quite a slow rise, but definitely on the up today). I had a couple of very weird high temps in the middle of it, and taken at my usual temp time as well, which I can't explain, but I have chosen to disregard the highest one (36.67!!) because my chart started saying I had ovulated (which I hadn't), and I didn't want it to skew everything! I was perfectly well, and the temps were still normal, despite being higher than my usual pre-ovulation temps, so...

Anyway! I had ovulation pain for a few days - I seem to get terribly achy and heavy-feeling now when I'm heading to ovulate in the two days leading up to ovulation, AND the day after. It's like bad cramps, and very distracting no matter what things I'm busy with during the day. At least I get a good heads-up that I'm actually going to ovulate! I think I ovulated 2 days ago, by my temps and ovulation pain, and the fact that I last had a little EWCM yesterday morning (and I'm not sure if I could even call it that really, but they say to chart it as such if in doubt). Tomorrow's temp will hopefully make my chart confirm ovulation and I'll get my temp coverline!

Parsnips occurred 2 days before I think I ovulated, so if I have ovulated, I am definitely in with a good chance of conception again! :) Excited to watch and wait! I feel crampy today with a little low backache. ANYTHING is worth noting for me, yes, even a day or two after ovulating. I often look back and realise I had noticed subtle changes from RIGHT after ovulation, when I am pregnant. Not always, but it has happened.

If I did ovulate, I did so at CD20!!!! I haven't ovulated that early in... years and years, I think! Nice and early and almost normal for me! :) I need to buy pregnancy tests - I have two that are now expired, and my Clearblue Digital.

Of course I haven't even had confirmation that I've ovulated yet, and I'm STILL going crazy thinking ahead! :P Confession: I have been praying for a sister for Lydia! I know it could (much more likely?!) be a boy, if I have another baby, but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a sister for my baby girly! I would love to re-use all her darling girly clothes! I bought some sleepsuits for Lydia in size 18-24 months this week on eBay, in a design I really like, and I realised they are the same set of 3 Next sleepsuits that I bought when I was pregnant with her! One of them is the first thing I bought for Lydia in size tiny baby (7.5lbs!), and it was the one that I lay out next to my bed during my pregnancy and gazed at it and stroked it daily until she was almost here! :) Today they arrived in the post, and I was SO excited putting them away! They are HUGE for their label size, so I know she will be wearing them more around age 2 than before, and suddenly I thought how PERFECT it would be to have Lydia in that favourite print sleepsuit, and a tiny newborn in the same matching sleepsuit! Oh what a happy thought that was! I know I may have a boy, or not even be pregnant, but still... lovely daydream! :) If I'm pregnant (if I ovulated, lol!) I would be due on November 11th which isn't the most ideal time, because it's 2 days after Arthur's birthday - never had that to worry about before, as all my babies have had a separate birth month.

So much to think about, and I have to make myself STOP IT for now, because it's way too premature! Hopefully I'll get confirmation that I've ovulated tomorrow, and then I'll update here much more often in my usual obsessive way! ;)
