Hmmm. A brown smudge. What the hell is a small, brown smudge doing on my new turquoise undies on Day 17? I sat so long in the teacher's bathroom this afternoon, staring at the smudge, that a teacher actually sighed loudly outside the door. Assuming that was my cue, I quickly left the bathroom, went about the rest of my day, and tried to forget the little smudge. So, I have now analyzed this to death already . . but let's just say, for the sake of my daydream, that something is wrong with my thermometer. Believe it or not, I actually thought that earlier this month when my temps stayed so low. The only difference is that I have been sleeping with the windows open so I have been really chilly when I wake up. That and I said forget the Prometrium this month because I could never tell when and if I even ovulated, so it has not been there to push up my temperature. Let's just say . . . knowing my darkest OPK was on Tuesday (the day my dh got his teeth pulled) well, let's assume I ovulated that day or Wednesday because technically, since I used the OPK later in the morning this time, I could have even ovulated on Monday, but most likely not. That would be mean that the earliest I could expect to see implantation spotting, which by the way I have NEVER seen before in my two previous pregnancies, would be . . . . Saturday? Let's just forget the fact that I did not even have sex when I am assuming I may have ovulated. Just play along here. . . . I did use Preseed, you know, and maybe that made this swimmers hang out a little longer or something. (*Important Note: I never spot in between cycles.) Let's just say . . . . that if it were implantation spotting, that would mean that the baby implanted better than before, you know, when I lost the others. Let's just say that, despite my disgustingly-low temps, that progesterone is obviously not a problem and a little embryo will continue to thrive and grow despite the fact that I have not been taking Prometrium this month. Let's just say that it is all going to work out, okay? At least, let's just say it is to make me feel better because all of this B.S. is enough to send me over the edge of sanity to the point of no return. Let's just say that it is not the stress that has jacked my temperatures all up. Umm-heem. So . . . What would you say about all of this?
