So maybe I haven't ovulated yet after all. It's looking like it could be today, which makes a lot more sense, since I had positive OPKs yesterday. I haven't really felt any ovulation pains yet either, but I don't always feel them. Sometimes they're really, really painful, sometimes just twinges, sometimes nothing at all. CM was totally creamy yesterday, and more watery today-- but still sort of creamy. It would be amazing if this turned out to be one of those times where it takes an extra day or two before the egg drops. Even if my hubby comes home today and we were able to BD, I know we still wouldn't have much of a chance. It would be better than nothing, though.

I think I figured out why this happened so early. I forgot that I'd been on antibiotics all last week. I went to Dr. Google and sure enough, antibiotics can affect the way your liver metabolizes hormones, which can affect your levels of estrogen and progesterone and early ovulation is a possibility. I'm kind of kicking myself now, but I needed them and they did help. 🤷‍♀️

I still don't know all of the stipulations when hubby comes home, but it's very likely that I'll be taking a break from tracking and/or posting on here very soon. There isn't much sense in continuing to track for the rest of this month anyway, and I don't know what's going to happen next month. I'll try to check in from time to time if I'm able to, and I hope I'll have lots of good news to read from you girls when I return 🤗

I love all you wonderful ladies and I'm so grateful for your friendship and support in not just TTC, but in everything. It means more to me than you know. 💙💙💙

UPDATE: I'm SO HAPPY you guys! Hubby is home. I know that we have a long road ahead of us, but for now I'm just thankful that he's here with me. I've got a lot of things to get done and figure out in a very short amount of time, but I feel like I can finally relax a little at least. I thought we were going to have to shut off the internet, but we don't, so for now I'll still be around, I just probably won't have much to update.

On top of all that, I didn't ovulate! I'm having definite ovulation pains now, and my nips aren't sore yet 🙌🏻 best of all, we had some FANTASTIC baby making! I try not to really bring it up with hubby because I don't want him to feel pressured, but I ended up mentioning (after BD'ing) that he made it home on my ovulation day and he said "really?! Wow. Maybe we'll get an anniversary baby, afterall." then he proceeded to rub my belly and make a joke about making a little baby "ex-convict" 🙄😂
