ttc #5 – and the glories of charting
This post is a bit late, but I did my last insems on Sunday and Monday the 30th and 1st. The 30th was cd 17 and I got my first positive OPK, so I did the first insem. I got a second positive OPK on the 1st and did the second insem that night before going to bed. I can usually feel ovulation and did feel it a *tiny* bit Tuesday morning (the 2nd). What is really odd, though, is that I haven’t gotten a peak reading at all on my fertility monitor. Usually, it and the OPKs have been aligned pretty well. I kept thinking, “oh, well, it’ll read peak one day soon.” But no. I’m still peeing on a stick each morning, and it’s still reading high each morning. But that’s it. Plus, my BBT, which has always been a bit odd, hasn’t gone above my cover line *once* this entire cycle. On Monday the nurse practitioner told me just not to worry about the BBT anymore. That certainly makes things easier. Although I’ve taken it every morning, I’ve only written it in my chart twice this entire cycle. I go through phases with charting and right now I’m in a lazy, avoidance phase. Next month I may get really excited about it again, but as for right now, I’m completely unmotivated to write anything down – or to do much more than pee on a stick and stick a thermometer in my mouth once a day.
How do y’all keep yourselves motivated to keep charting?

I was a horrid charter, so I don’t think I can be the one with wisdom for that. LOL!
