Delayed Ovulation and Exercise
Well, ovulation is nowhere in sight. Either this cycle is going to have a late O, or it’s an anovulatory cycle. I started temping later than I should have – cycle day 11 – and was really confused to find my temp high, like it never dropped. Three days it was high – then it finally dropped back down where it should be. I’m not getting much CM at all. All OPKs are nearly blank they’re so negative. So now I just sit around and wait to see what happens. Good chance I have delayed ovulation due to the cold I have currently, apparently being sick at all can postpone it.
I finally got off my butt today and went to the Y to exercise. I stayed out of the pool, but did the elliptical for 15 minutes and then some weights. I did a fat burning/cardio workout on the elliptical. It has the fancy heartrate monitors on the handlebars that I had to hold onto the entire time. Well it was constantly telling me to slow down to reduce my heartrate – it was up at 170! :eek: And the machine program had no “hills” or any resistence at all, I was just gliding along without breaking much of a sweat. I don’t know if there was something wrong with the machine, or if my heartrate is really that wonky. I’d be willing to guess it’s the latter. I’d hate to see what it would say if I actually pushed harder.
Weight today: 141.5. Bleh. Gotta lay off the cookies… and get back to exercising. (I’ve not gone for almost a week, because of being sick.)
