The Fertility Friend software that I use to chart my cycles gave me a coverline today (meaning, it automatically put a red X on the day that it thinks I ovulated, based on certain signals, like temperature). I asked around, and some women said that they never get positive LHs also, or they'll get positives on some months but not on others. So, the theory now is that I ovulated on CD12 (Cycle Day 12) and I just didn't get a positive LH for whatever reason.

Given that I ovulated on CD12, our BD timing is really great. (In fact, a few women on my fertility web site even commented that it was great timing!) There's always a chance that you don't get pregnant in a given cycle, but we did everything we could to increase our chances! If we don't get pregnant this cycle, I'm going to try a few tricks to increase my cervical fluids. I never really did get the good fertile kind like a lot of women get.

Now we go into what's called the "Two Week Wait." Meaning, you have to wait about two weeks before you really know if you're pregnant! I will probably start testing in a week or so, since I have like 15 pregnancy tests and I might as well use them. ;) However, given my record with the ovulation predictor (LH) tests, they might not work on me either!

In other news, yesterday I had a headache so bad that I pretty much slept all day. I'm sure it was like a sinus headache, probably caused by the fact that I haven't been taking my allergy medication (I stopped taking it because it dries up cervical fluid). So, I started taking it again yesterday, though I'm trying Singulair instead of Zyrtec. I feel a LOT better today already. I did wake up long enough to watch the Oklahoma football game with Kevin. OU beat North Texas 37-3 (I think). It was a fun game!
