Stop, Prop, and Roll (and then just lay there)
Firefighters and teachers tell you growing up "If ever on fire, remember to 'Stop, drop, and roll." Well, the motto I now have is "Stop, Prop, and Roll." You see those were my instructions in a way. Not in those exact words but I like to jazz it up. After the deed is done (hence the Stop) I am to prop up my hips on a pillow (thanks to my tilted uterus) and roll left (since the left ovary is ovulating this month. Next month we may roll right but for now its to the left.) Now I like to think I have an advantage. Most women trying to conceive (and not under the care of a RE) have no clue which ovary is getting to work that month. I on the other hand can specifically roll to that side to "encourage" things along. However, here is the catch. I have to LAY there for 15-30 minutes (which I would have done anyways). 30 minutes gets a bit boring when you are laying on your left hip and staring at the wall. I can't see the TV and its hard to read, so I lay. Last night I fell asleep but Clay hit me cause I made some sort of squeaky sound. (He got in trouble for that. I don't know why he didn't just let me sleep. His defense was "Well you usually don't wake up." What? So you often hit me in my sleep just cause I made a noise. We will have to discuss that later.) Oh and of course I have to do the full 30 minutes cause my husband heard the instructions loud and clear. So one more official night for Stop, Prop, and Roll this month and then some more waiting to see if anything happened.
