I just received a letter saying my equivalency application for one of the local college districts was denied. WTF?! I have been working in another local district for the last several years, and on top of that my equivalency application for yet another local district was very recently accepted. As I understand it, these standards are uniform across the state so why am I being denied by this one district? Argh! I have had nothing but bad experiences applying for schools within this district, so I am beginning to think that I am not meant to work for them.
Also, it's stormy, wet, and grey here, and I have a big case of PMS. So. Annoyed.
Thanks for listening. Hope your weekends are going better so far.

Party's Over
It was also a particularly brutal PMS month, which as some of you likely know, adds to the emotional intensity of any experience. That particular fog is lifting, at least, thank God.
My family was in town from Oregon, so the extra cycle day took place out and about, mainly at the Oregon-Stanford game (which Oregon won handily, Go Ducks!). Every trip to the bathroom, I would come back and whisper to sh/cm, "Nothing yet."
At the end of the day, hope was definitely building, but then some different type of cramping started and then light spotting and a temperature drop, so I knew that was it. I admit it, there was crying. But I'm doing okay now.
I do wonder if that up down, up down bounce at the beginning of my cycle meant I ovulated late or ovulated twice, which may have affected my luteal phase length?
In related news, I am cutting back my DHEA supplementation to 50 mg from 75 after noticing slight facial hair increase. It was blonde and very light, but still, yikes! *I also wonder whether it affected my mood and plan to research that a bit further.
If I doctor recommends it, I will tough it out, but for now, I'm going with 50, as I've seen this dosage recommended, as well. And it will hopefully keep me recognizably female.
Now that we've had insurance approval, I'm also calling Kaiser tomorrow and recruiting a real doctor back into the mix.

Uneventful
Most. uneventful. cycle. ever.
It's the weirdest thing. Every other cycle, since starting to ttc a few months ago has at least included breast soreness. Most have involved fabulous and varied symptoms such as skin breakouts, cramping, back pain, and others I will spare you all from in this moment.
This cycle? Not so much.
I have super bad PMS (mood-wise), so if that counts, then I'm covered.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had the never-before-seen bbt temperature fallback/rise pattern, along with another up/down bounce for good measure. The first dip happened on 4 dpo, and the second on 6 dpo. But this is likely hormonal fluctuation, even on 6 dpo, since it's typically too early in the cycle for implantation.
AF is due in two days, so not much longer to wait.
I'm working a full middle school day again tomorrow and feeling so not up for it.
Sh/cm and I are still not sympatico, adding sadness to the mix.
Maybe the world will look better after a good night's sleep?

Coming to an End
This two-week-wait is coming to an end.
I'm at 13 dpo. My cycle starts religiously on 14 dpo. Today and yesterday, my temperature was 98.2, after dipping to 97.9 on Saturday. This is a similar patterns to last month, however, but the dip was bigger.
Anyway, I've been emotional the last couple of days and tired, getting more tired by the minute. I'm worried about teaching career exploration tomorrow - wish me luck!
And today, I had a bit of period-like cramping in the lower left side of my abdomen, and a bit of tan spotting when I went on my walk. It seems too late for this to be implantation-related.
I'm thinking these signs come to a sum total of PMS and the beginnings of my period. I'll let you know when things become more clear. Testing will not be on my agenda unless I make it through tomorrow. . .
