On to pineapple

So it appears that the clomid actually worked.  According to my charts and OPKs it looks like I ovulated on day 15.  Day 15!!!!!  Although perfectly normal for most women, that is super early for me.  So now I've got to pick up a pineapple to start making my smoothies tonight.  The pineapple smoothies are something I picked up on the net.  Pineapple, and especially the core contain a chemical called Bromelain.  Bromelain helps with implantation.  So you're supposed to to cut a pineapple into 5ths, and eat 1/5 a day (including the core) for five days after ovulation.  I love pineapple.  Not to big a fan of the core.  But mashed in with yogurt and ice and the yummy pineapple chunks, the core is not too bad.  

Here is my baby making arsenal for this cycle
1. clomid (cd 3-7)
2. HSG (cd9)
3.  Sex every other day since cd 10, and every day when around ovulation
4. Pineapple core smoothies
5.  Acupuncture and Chinese herbs
6.  Prayer
7.  Oh and I'm supposed to start taking progesterone supplements on 3 DPO (to lengthen my LP). 

O.K. that is it.  We shall see if this works.

I hate green tea

I'm sucking this stuff down just to increase my CM and blah. I guess I'm just not fertile. Because it just isn't working. And I'm getting water-logged.

I am now on day 17 and no OPK+, and no EWCM. I hope ovulation isn't delayed again this month like last. I thought day 18 was my norm and that last month was a fluke. Guess not. Guess I'm just not predictable. Blah. I'm sure that me stressing about it is only making things worse.

In non TTC new, I'm feeling so sad about Heath Ledger passing away. He was one of my favorite actors. A really gifted actor and I was a fan of his since 10 things i hate about you. It is weird to feel sad about the death of someone you've never met. But I do. And I'm sad for his baby who will never know her dad. Why should any little girl have to deal with that. So sad.
