Finally! An egg!

So last night I ovulated! CD22. It was painful as usual, another egg from the right side, I think this time from around the top of my ovary (last month was the bottom at the front).
I was looking back at my period diary (which I have kept since April 1997) and my cycles seem to be following a similar pattern as they did after Pony Gals birth....about a week of heavy clear mucous before I ovulate.
I hate the pain of ovulation, I hate that my nipples are sore while I ovulate too, it makes feeding uncomfy. I wonder if there is a supplement or something that would help with the nipple tenderness?????

Oi, wheres my next egg?

Today is CD20 for me, ie 20 days after my last bleed and so far no ovulation. All the signs are there though, lots of EWCM, and sore nipples while feeding. I am bummed that I am not more regular at this point, and am concerned that my PCOS is flaring up.
I was also assuming that I wouldn't be bleeding on our first flight over seas.....looks like I might be now...bummer!

1st bleed came early....

Before I birthed my kids, and actually since I have been charting, the amount of time from ovulation to bleed is ALWAYS 14 days...unless interrupted by a pregnancy. This cycle though it was only 10 day and snuck up on me totally! I was on the loo, about to have my evening shower. The divine Miss A and Water Boy were in chatting to me. I wiped after my wee and The Divine Miss A said, ' Oh, are you bleeding'? I looked at the loo paper and sure enough, I was. No cramps, no warning, nothing. Actually, besides being very heavy, I had no cramping at all this cycle....uncomfy around my tail bone (which in hind site may have been cramping if my uterus has moved position????)
So I wore my beautiful cloth pads for the whole bleed. Soaking them in a container and feeding my garden with my first post baby blood. I usually use a moon cup, and to be totally honest, I find it easier and less fuss to do that. Maybe see how I go next cycle.....
Right now I am 14 days after my bleed started, and I can feel my body getting ready to release another egg. I just hope my nipples don't get as sore this month, feeding Water Boy was a night mare!
