My ugly chart

Sunday, June 24, 2012

Fertility Friend decided to give me crosshairs today, which is surprising because of how bad my chart is.  My temp today was the same as yesterday...an abysmal 97.66 F.  Really?  I never understand how this can happen.  In my few months of charting, I have never had a chart this ugly.  I did a little chart surfing this morning and found very few ugly charts like mine that resulted in pregnancy.  Crap.

I decided to try the pineapple core trick this cycle.  I have not tried it before, but have heard that it helped others with implantation.  I went out to the grocery store last night, bought a pineapple, and sliced it into 5 equal parts (I did my best with the whole equal part).  I ate the first slice last night, core and all.  I know you are supposed to go from 1dpo - 5dpo, but I wasn't exactly sure if I had ovulated so I gave it an extra day.  Apparently the bromelain in the pineapple core is supposed to help make the uterine environment more friendly for implantation.  I guess you'd have to have a fertilized egg first though and I am not sure I got that.  We'll see what happens.

Yummy, yummy

So now I am in the 2ww once again.  Luckily I have a bunch of things to look forward to in the next 2 weeks.  I have a special acupuncture session tomorrow...I would assume for impending implantation purposes?  I am going with one of my sisters to visit my other sister in NYC this coming weekend.  Girls weekend!  Then the following week and am driving across the country (ok maybe only like 1/8 of the country) to visit my family for most of the week.  I should be getting my period around the day before I leave to come back.  I am going to try not to test while I am there, but if I feel pregnant, I might just cave and test.  I always say I am not going to test and then test anyways.  Who the heck am I kidding?

In the meantime I am thinking fertile thoughts!
