Yesterday's Surgery

Yesterday's minor surgery to get the mole removed went pretty smoothly but ugh, I hope I never have to do that again! Even though you don't feel pain you feel everything else which totally grossed me out. Feeling of them cutting your skin with scissors, puling, tugging, sewing up for stitches and all.

I was all well until the end the doctor asked "Would you like to see your mole???" and before I had the chance to say NO he shoved a pair of pliers with my mole on the tip in my face and I almost passed out. Who does that! I had to sit in my car for about 5 minutes before my legs stopped feeling wobbly and I was ok to drive.

I was pretty pain free until he evening when I guess all the pain medication wore off. It stunk/burned pretty bad and I went to bed around 9:30 so I couldn't feel the pain. This morning feels ok so far. H was great at helping with A and did all the lifting and heavy work.

After lunch we went to Longwood Gardens because we have heard such good things about them. We went in on regular admission but since we liked it so much we got the annual pass for us. A was free because kids under 5 don't have to pay an admission so our pass was only $85 with an extra $10 discount they gave us! Total win. The weather was perfect and she loved playing in the fountains! Perfect place to cool down.



Some old business to update on, a few weeks ago S got me a MacBook and I asked him to return it. I loved it but I jus couldn't get used to the software. I guess I'm a Windows whore so we exchanged it for another Windows computer. Still took a bit to get used to Windows 8 but its nowhere near as hard as the MacBook. Also loving this computer because its touch screen! Its kind of like having a tablet + keyboard.

Getting ready to take another progesterone test this week. CD 17 lands on Friday so I am curious to see what the results say. Doctor claims that every woman ovulates 14 days BEFORE her period and I am pretty certain I ovulate CD 15 but hey, WHAT DO I KNOW! My cycles are only 24 days long so she believes I ovulate around CD 10. My temping chart looks crazy this month, it kind of makes me laugh at how inaccurate it is. Waking up several times at night with A totally messes it all up. I'm curious to see if there will be a spike at CD 15 though! Here is it, so you can see the mess I am talking about.

  1. because you wake up so much at night I don't think temping benifits you at all. I think you should use OPK's to try and determine when you're ovulating. and read up on this because i've read that they're most accurate if taken between like 1pm-5pm.

    also, not everyone ovulates on day 14, so if you think you ovulate on day 15, you're probably right. I ovulate on day 16-18 depending on the cycle. a doctor can't just say oh I think you ovulate on day 10 because you have short cycles. thats silliness to me. I've read that its very common for OBGYN's to say stuff like this and really have no idea what they're talking about.

  2. I agree with you. I was told by many to try temping and I did but its clearly not working. I was also told that many regular OB's aren't all that great at getting you pregnant, just caring for you once you already become pregnant. Its just kind of scary how inaccurate they can be being in the profession that they are. I mean knowing that every woman's cycle is different is pretty basic stuff.
