Back in the saddle

First- just to show why my hopes went so high, here is a picture of my chart when it was looking great.
Nice temp jump, looking a little triphasic. Perfect
And then... (make some sort of plane diving noise in your head right now that I can't do via typing)
Ummm yeah, the drop does not get much more dramatic then that.

Concerns- Why was my LP shorter this time and since when do I have 3 days of spotting before getting my period?


Pity Party Over
Well- I am still sad, but am actually back in my normal chipper spirit today. I have to thank Shannon for this. Shannon is a true friend from the nest. I have a lot of ladies I consider friends on there even though we don't speak in real life. They are my support network and really just a fantastic group of women.
So why am I specifically thanking Shannon? She commented to me on my 'crushed' post below. Her comment was just full of virtual love and support. She's been trying longer than I have to start a family, yet is such a sweet person and really just awesome, that she took the time out to comfort me, and tell me what I needed to hear- I will be a great mom. That snapped me out of it- I WILL be a mom some day, and a pretty darn good one.
So thank you Shannon. You brought a tear to my eye and really got me out of this funk I have been in for the past 2 days. You are going to be an exceptional mother some day, and I am crossing my fingers for you this cycle. xxooxx

Focusing on the positive:
even though I got my period today and it is CD 1- I know I need to be positive about this whole endeavor in order to not go nuts.
So here's the positive-
I have fairly regular periods. I ovulate without aid and all my signs of ovulation (CF, OPKs, CBEFM, temp) coincide.

And- I will ovulate this cycle right near, if not on, my birthday, while 3000 miles away in San Diego on vacation with my honey! I really hope we bring back a souvenir/birthday present!

And-
