Hey Cali - Ya that was me. I always could feel my ovulation 6-8 hours after the trigger, hence the trigger and then get down to business...I really think the hCG just worked faster on my system then what it is supposed to do (24-48 hrs). Probably all depends on your system.

This has been a really rough week for me.
1) First the anemia issues have made me a lump of clay. It's so hard for me to do things without getting winded and feeling horrible all the time. I went to Target today and thought I was going to pass out in the shampoo aisle...I got very dizzy and needed to lay down, but hey, I was in Target, what are you gonna do.
2) Grandmother passed away last weekend and next weekend is the service, my parents aren't making it any easier on me b/c they planned the service where they live (4.5 hours away) and all there is to sleep on is a fold out cot. Plus they have a weekend full of activities planned, go here, go there etc. etc. I tried to explain to them that I'm not trying to be selfish, but I really can't do all of that...mom's not gettin' it.
3) I found one of those pregnant women haters. DH & I were in JC Penny, and she heard me ask where the restroom was, came up from behind me, passed me, cut me off just was I was about to reach the single bathroom door, and ran in there, shutting the door in my face.
Funny, b/c all I could think about was she must have been one of those women on the other thread who said they are purposely mean to preg. women. Even had the nerve to look me in the eye when she finally got out.
4) DISASTER. DH & I excitedly told our families this weekend our babies names. Lillian Davis and Zane Gregory = (DH Grandma) (femine of David which is my brother) and (DH Grandfather) (My dad)...
Mom "Lillian and Zane???...why the hell Li-lee-en... & I've never heard of the name Davis???? and what am I supposed to call my grandson...Zane-ey???" Very negative and laughing the whole time at the names.

Worse: DH's brother. DH's brother's middle name is Zane as well. Let's just say he is furious about it all, and so is his wife. They came over today (thank God I was at Target) and DH's brother flew off the handle...yelling cursing, calling us selfish and arrogant etc. He ended up leaving by slamming all the doors he could and driving off angry.
Then he called (I walked in from Target 1/2 way through the conversation), and my DH was calmly trying to explain to him that we meant no malice by our name choice. DH's brother's main point is, what if he wanted to name his son (that doesn't exist) Zane, and since it's his middle name, he should have been consulted first by us to see if he was ok with it.
It was awful, I had to get on speaker phone and he was just going on and on about how we just assumed he wouldn't want to name his future son that, and we should have asked him first, and how he can't believe how selfish we were ...blah blah blah blah...I ended up bawling b/c I could just hear the genuine hurt in his voice. I mean, whether he's right or not, he's still hurt, and I hate hurting anyone. He said that he's not going to talk to us for a while because he needs to work through all of this.
siiiigh. I wish I could have a beer.
