After a lovely few days in Brighton we returned home yesterday afternoon, so I decided to start temping again this morning: 36.24 – nothing exciting. Based on the last few cycles I am expecting to ovulate either Wednesday or Thursday next week (CD13/CD14). I am going to give OPKs a go again so will POAS on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
I bought some Conceive Plus last month from an Amazon seller and some cheapy OPKs were included along with some HPTs, so I might as well use them! They are small thin strips that you dip into urine that has been collected in the afternoon – the only annoying thing is that you have to let the wee get to room temperature and I just can’t be bothered to wait. I’ll do it this month though, pinky promise!

I didn’t go for the blood tests on Monday after all. We’d taken the week of work and decided that we didn’t want to spend the first morning of our holiday waiting in the hospital. So I will go on the next CD3 instead – fingers crossed I won’t need to!
I’ve also just picked up today’s post and have got an appointment at the hospital for the scan – it’s a Pelvic Ultrasound scan to assess the ovaries, womb and “surrounding structures” whatever that means! There are two methods – transabdominal and transvaginal. The letter has asked me to go with a full bladder THANK GOD as I really hate my girly bits being looked at! Hopefully I won’t pee myself, I have to drink a pint and half an hour and half before the appointment, eek!
Anyway the appointment is on 22nd August (CD18) so I will of course update on how that goes.
