today is day 15/16 of my cycle (my period started in the late afternoon... i know, confusing, right?), which means that our "trying" is about done for this cycle. i'll double-check fluids tomorrow (SO bizarre that this is now a huge part of my life), but i'm fairly certain that the door of opportunity has closed. i'm going to say this is day 15, just to make things easier (and because most charting guides say to call Day 1 the first full day of your period when in doubt). but really, more numbers just equals more confusion for me.
so where do we stand? well, i'm not sure how well we did this first round. it's been a super busy and tiring week. work plus prepping our apartment to sell (open houses this weekend!) on top of our usual vastly differing sleep schedule and the little emotional stumbling block we had over the weekend, we ended up having sex four times out of the seven days i think we had to work with. not bad odds, true, but not as sure-fire as i had hoped.
so here's what we've got for round 1...
ovulation estimation: day 12-14
attempts: day 9, day 10, day 12, day 15
seems like day 12 was probably our best shot, unless i ovulated near the end of my suspected window, in which case today wasn't bad either. in sum... meh. not sure. don't think this was our best effort at due diligence. but it wasn't a typical week, that's for sure. hopefully by next cycle things will be quieter and we'll be more used to this new routine. and in the meantime, i guess we just sit back and wait. you never know.
