For the first time since the day my daughter was conceived, I got a positive OPK tonight!
*doing happy dance; throwing streamers at a party in my head*
For the last 23 months, I wondered if I would ever see one of those little fellas again.
Would everything still work after the pregnancy? Oh, never mind, I get to go on birth control. I tried to squeeze in OPKs in the two months before the IUD was placed, but I never got a positive. So I spent the 6 months with my IUD in freaking out and wondering if I would still ovulate on my own, or if I would have to undergo treatments again.
The IUD came out two months ago, and I didn't bother using OPKs that first month because I was pretty sure I wouldn't ovulate. I did, however, use them last month and never got a positive one. Instead I got an early visitor. As a result, and as you all know, I spent the last week or so worrying (i.e., freaking out) that I wouldn't get one and that my surgery next month was going to have to include some kind of repair to get me to ovulate on my own again.
Well, last night I got that lovely EWCM I have been waiting for (after a neg OPK). I did a happy dance. "I'm fertile!" Since the OPK I did before the appearance of EWCM was neg, I tried again later that night. Still neg.
But tonight, my friends, tonight I got what I have been waiting 23 months to confirm:
I OVULATED!!!
I have two beautiful positive OPKs sitting on the back of my toilet right now. I can't bring myself to toss them just yet because they stand as a beacon to me that my body is still working and doing its thing. To an infertile who didn't ovulate before surgery, this is a huge milestone. A heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
After 23 months, we have lift off. Positively, absolutely have had an egg release. And you know what? I know approximately when it happened today because I felt the ovulation pains.
Right now there is an egg floating in my fallopian tube. It sucks that it won't be fertilized. But I am glad that I know it is there, paving the way for the eggs that will come in the next three months.
My sanity can return to its normally scheduled programming now.

Yay! :) Congrats! My hubby never understood why I kept my OPK tests laying around when I got a positive. It only ever happened twice and like you said, it is confirmation that maybe just maybe your body can do something right! He just thought it was gross because I peed on it!
Hooray!!! Ovulation is the great unheard of over here with me, so I TRULY appreciate how amazing and special it is! Great news!
