It's True! I DO Ovulate

How exciting! I've had PCOS for a very long time and have dealt with the curve balls that its thrown me as best I can. But over time I've never really took the ovulation tests very seriously because I've always gotten a "no" or "error" so I never really knew if I truly ovulated. I just always assumed probably not - which is a huge factor in this whole PCOS game. I mean, its been over 11 years of being with the same person (my husband), and up until January this year - I have not gotten pregnant. And I have yet to get pregnant again.
After my miscarriage doctors orders were to wait 2/3 cycles before trying again. So our first time was early June, and I didn't get to my ovulation test's in time, but started trying at CD8, through CD13 and  was technically late (My cycles are usually 24/25 days and I didnt start my period till CD28) and got a BFN. Then I missed the 2nd cycle completely from being 3rd degree sun burned and couldn't move, but still kinda tried and another BFN.  So right now.. like.. -right now- is our third cycle trying.

Currently:
CD5 - I started testing (the one with the smile face) yesterday at and LH was low (no smile). Side note, I like how its a smile face and not a "NO."  

CD6 - Bit ol'flashing smile face, which is high fertility. When I compare this info with my app, my app is completely off. Which could explain our 1st cycle trying, I could have missed it! I feel like this is early? So we fit in "trying" in b/t my jobs yesterday. Same goes with today

CD7 - Today, same. flashy smile. My husband couldn't be happier with all this... activity*blushing*. My rule is it has to be dark. I'm to self conscious. So he's been putting blankets over the windows (sweet?) since its like 5:00 in the afternoon generally, and have to be at my 2nd job at 6 on the weeknights.

on CD8 I expect another flashy smile, if not already ovulating (solid smile).

I'm trying my best to stay grounded this time around. Not to speculate anything. And also follow my own advice :)  Taking each day as it comes. But I'm ready. I'm ready to be pregnant again. Mentally I'm just about "there." And I'm also focusing on September. If we don't get pregnant b/t now and then - that's when we'll start treatments. And my mental status on that is almost there too.
I'm still working on the working out and eating right. I'd like to lose at least 10 pounds before treatments to avoid any issues with BMI, self worth and all that jazz. It's definitely hard to be consistent with working so much, but I'm trying so very hard. While my microwave meal is heating up, I'm doing squats. I'm debating on bring in weights into my office, closing the door at lunch and just going at it. I think I might...

Other than that, nothing to much new to report. Wish me luck!
