Today, I am on cycle day 20 which is also my predicted day of ovulation. I originally thought that I would ovulate on this upcoming Tuesday, but I remembered that my last two menstrual cycles have been 33 days long instead of 35 days long. I did an OPK test this morning and it had an medium dark line. I originally thought it was not a big deal and that the line would get darker within the coming days, but I suppose that I ovulated on yesterday. And fortunately for me, I inseminated on yesterday.
I have a good feeling about conceiving this cycle because I had a dream last night about a set of triplet boys. I have been praying to conceive and give birth to triplets that are boys first and then conceive and give birth to twin girls. Then, it was not until this morning that I realized that I was a few days off on tracking my ovulation which means that I inseminated on my actual day of ovulation. I was having some angst about how to maneuver insemination on Tuesday because I have a meeting that usually runs late into the afternoon, but that is not an issue for me anymore, thankfully. I think that those are really good signs and that things are falling into place with me achieving pregnancy.
I want this pregnancy and resulting children immensely. I have hoped, fasted, cried, pleaded, and prayed for motherhood so much. I can not begin to think of a greater gift than that of being a mother. I know that raising children as a single mother will not be easy, but I have done many difficult things in my life and I am a better and stronger person because of it.
As far as the TWW is concerned, I plan to spend time with family and friends and immerse myself in work and most definitely prayer. At this point, it is in the hands of the Lord. The Lord’s plan for my life is the best plan ever and I truly and sincerely hope that plan includes being a loving and nurturing mother to children. All I can do is ask the Lord and wait for His answer to come. I hope that His answer is textbook pregnancy symptoms and a BFP as well as carrying a pregnancy to full term.
