Meredith: It was a typical Florida weekend: sun for the first half of each day, followed by rain for the rest of the day. I have been trying to relax and meditate as directed by my Psychic Friend. I am supposed to be talking daily to my spirit guides and reminding them that I want to get pregnant and to not forget about me. Funny thing happened ... as I was talking (not out loud ... that would be crazy) to my guide on Sunday morning, I got the urge to take an ovulation test. Now, so you know, I was only on day 8 of my cycle and it is a little early. However, my guide was leading me in that direction, so I went with it. Guess what?!? I had one dark and one very clear second line. Not exactly an LH surge, but close. WOW ... thanks, psychic friend!

So, I have to say I have been reading more about the ovulation tests that I have been taking and admittedly I have gotten some things wrong. One line and a faint second line does not indicate an LH surge, just that it is getting close. All this time I have been freaking out at one solid and one faint line and sexing it up. WRONG!! I have been blowing my load on the wrong days ... literally. Why me? But as they say, knowledge is power -- I am now powerful. I am going to test for ovulation 3 times a day (that's right, blame my spirit guide). I have read that LH surge does not just happen in the morning (when I usually test). I could get my surge in the afternoon or at night. I am not taking any chances of missing out on 24 hours of peak fertility by only testing once. So, I will follow this new method of testing until I am with child.

Don't think that now that I am testing three times a day I will be more stressed. On the contrary, I am less stressed with this new method. I feel like now I will have a better grasp of my peak fertility days. Oh yeah ... and my next stop is the acupuncturist. Stay tuned ... I'll let you know how that goes. Baby dust to one and all!
