WOW! It is already cycle day 27, I could test to see if we possibly conceived in FIVE DAYS! This time has flown by, well ovulating late while still having a shorter cycle.
But I want to test early to make sure as soon as my body creates HcG we can test my progesterone to make sure it is high enough to support a pregnancy or if I will have to get a shot to help support the pregnancy.
It is Saturday! Last night I made a total flop of a dinner, I tried to make spaghetti bolognese, and added the amount of red wine vinegar that the recipe called for but it was too bitter and then I added cocoa powder to the sauce to help with the acidity and then it was too sweet.
So we called in quits on dinner and my husband threw it in the woods near our house for the wild animals while I ran to Wendy's for a replacement dinner. That was much better than the pasta I made, I also served it over red lentil pasta, which was too chalky and didn't do my terrible sauce any favors.
Last night I woke up around 3:30am sick, I had a sore throat, a TERRIBLE headache, and diarrhea. I couldn't get comfortable and I couldn't shake the headache, so I got up and took some Acetaminophen.
I didn't fall back to sleep until 6:30 and then had nightmares.
Today I just feel very blah, but I have a lot going on. I am trying to power through my day to do what I need to do. My childhood best friend's dad died, and he was a second father to me for the first 23 years of my life. There are other concerns that I can't discuss yet on here. But pray for our family, please.
I hope that my illness could be linked to a successful implantation. When we conceived the twins I was sick for 3 weeks with headaches and a sore throat. All tests run had said I had an unknown virus, which I have heard is common during conception because your immune system has to further suppress to accept a pregnancy.
We may know in a few short days if that is a possibility for this cycle too. I have been praying and telling God we are ready whenever He is. We will welcome any baby(ies) at anytime.
Just because I test at 12 days past ovulation doesn't mean if it isn't positive this isn't the cycle, as long as I still haven't gotten a period, I will test ago two days later.
Today I am cooking a recipe from my childhood that my mom would make frequently, that I loved but haven't had in YEARS. It is meatballs in mushroom soup over mashed potatoes with French cut canned green beans on the side. I prefer to mix it all in a mushy mess. So yummy!
It is cold today; I am going to mostly just cook and do the cleanup from cooking today; we want to flip our mattress and I want to put on warmer sheets; I was so cold last night and I am still super cold today.
I have been doing yoga to aid with implantation, you may find it helpful if you are also trying to conceive. I love the relaxation of yoga so I practice every day, except last Sunday.
I lost my thermometer somewhere and have not found it yet. So I currently cannot take my basal body temperature or see if I am running a fever with my flu-like symptoms today. I am not too worried about it, I can find it sometime or we may get another thermometer soon.
I am sure that it is not coronavirus, though it may just be some virus, the virus I got during my first pregnancy, I didn't pass on to my husband or anyone else around me and this time my husband is feeling great, while I am not. So I think we are safe of it being something serious.
I am burping a lot again today; it has been worse the last couple days on and off than it had been before.
Obviously, I am planning a meal with some lactose. Cream of mushroom soup is going to have the lactose.
Though this morning I have yet to have any lactose, and I didn't have very much yesterday. However, sugar I had, I woke up with a sweet tooth this morning so I ate a mini-twix bar after breakfast. I am drinking tea because my throat hurts and I am cold.
My husband and roommate went out shopping, I am staying home, though I am not seriously quarantining with my flu-like symptoms I am going to be mindful about my actions.
Today is just an at home day for me. Tomorrow my sister and nephew are likely coming to visit, but I am not too worried about transferring anything to them either.
