Am I the only one that gets pre-ovulation mood swings? They're not as bad as pms. It's just a few days of mild irritability and a few hours of crankyness.
On Friday night I was bored out of my mind. Instead of sitting down on the couch after dinner and relaxing, I scrubbed the heck out of the kitchen. Then moved on to the washing. All the clean washing was folded and put away as soon as it came out of the dryer (usually it hangs around for a day or two before I get to it) I even ironed the sheets and quilt cover before I put them on the bed!
Then yesterday I was having a cranky moment about my husband being a pain. He was cracking bad jokes and just being silly, and I wasn't having any of it. It wasn't until I tested and got a nice positive opk that it started to make sense.
Tonight I'm having some serious ovulation pain. It's not as if I'm doubled up in pain, it's just a persistent achy crampy feeling that's worse when I'm sitting up or laying on my side. This is pretty late in the cycle for me to be ovulating too. It's cycle day 24, my norm is around cd 19-21. But last month was cd 25.
All I know is that now I've ovulated I can go and have my 7dpo blood test done. Coincidently we got the pathology bill in the post today for my husbands test last month. We were originally told it would be around $55. Nope, not quite, the bill is for $95. I'm going to call our private health insurance tomorrow to see if it's covered, but I've got a feeling that it's not. Luckily my blood tests are bulk billed to Medicare, I love that the doctor I go to is at a bulk billing medical centre and there's no gap fee! Even better when the small pathology lab there bulk bills too!
But for now, I've made a cup of chamomile tea and I'm about to go lay in bed with my hot water bottle.
