Good morning! Well, ovulation is coming soon! I got my test kits yesterday, and I actually used on just for the fun of it. No LH surge.

The Lutenzing Hormorne (LH) is the hormone that tells your body to release an egg. So, these kits test for it. When I see an LH surge in my urine, that means that the egg will be released soon! That, in comination with my charting, will really give me a good idea of ovulation - practically to the hour! As you may know, the egg may live only a few hours, so sometimes BDing every day is not enough. You may have to BD at a certain TIME of day! So, from now on, I am going to test LH twice a day until I see ovulation.

So I was in the library the other day, and this lady was there with her 10-week-old little girl. I felt so uncomfortable because I kept staring at the baby, and I couldn't help but smile! I know mothers are used to having people going ga-ga over their babies, but I didn't want to look like a stalker or something. It's OK to look and smile nicely, but don't stare and grin and drool! When I was leaving the library, the mother whispered to me "fertility monitor!" I realized she saw that I had checked out some books about how to get pregnant and that was her advice. I told her that's exactly what I was doing! ("Fertility monitors" are basically $200 ways to do what I'm doing for $13).
