cycle timing >:-(

(cycle 19, day 17, 3 dpo)

this cycle has been the most frustrating (well aside to the most emotional one last cycle). i didn't start doing my OPKs until cd12 so that if i was going to O as late as last cycle, i didn't run out of tests prematurely. well that was a bad idea since i got my positive on cd12 and by cd13 it was negative already. i had a feeling i should've tested on cd11 because my CM was actually showing fertile signs but decided against it because i usually can't base O off CM anyway. bad idea. i knew we needed to start BDing in case this was going to happen, but timing just didn't work out in our favour this cycle. so i'm hoping that with the wonky-ness of my temps and our BDing schedule results in something much less frustrating by this time next week... i O'd way on the side of early this cycle and is the second time i've O'd on cd14. i guess at least my EDD if this works can actually be based off my LMP instead of O day like last time. and now the excrutiating 2ww starts......

otherwise, i'm down a pound with WW so i'm headed in the right direction and am back to what i was pre-pregnancy now.
i've also been blowing through the very big course book at the fastest pace i've ever done since beginning on my quest to become a building inspector. all the courses up to this one have been around 400 pages and this one was double that. i made a plan at the beginning of this month to read 200 pages each weekend so that i can take the exam at the beginning of may and have this course done in a record 2 months. so far, i'm still on pace  : )  at this rate (where i take a month off from any studying and then take a month to complete a course) i can get at least 4, possibly 5, courses done just this year alone! if i can knock that many out this year, i should be done all the required courses to get my level 1 by the middle of next year or sooner!!!
