Charting

I started beginning to wonder why I wasn't pregnant,  and I was very unsatisfied with everyone's answer of "don't worry,  it'll happen" so I took matters into my own hands and I started charting.  Mollie gave me a book about fertility,  and I read it,  and now I feel completely enlightened about my cycle. I wish every woman could read this book. Anyways,  through charting I have learned I am on cycle day 20 and I didn't even ovulate until 4 days ago.  Most people assume ovulation happens 14 days into your cycle,  but that isn't the case for everyone.  So the dumb app I was using was telling me to do the deed at the wrong time!
Also I have learned that my luteal phase is too short. I'm really hoping that it is long enough this month,  because if it is we should be golden. Come on hormones! Stick around! Also what it could mean is I could have a chemical pregnancy which is when an egg is fertilized but the leal phase is too short,  so it doesn't have time to implant.  I don't even want to think about that happening.
If my luteal phase keeps coming up short I honestly don't know how to fix it,  but I hope I won't have to find out.
In other news life has been pretty good. Nothing to exciting has happened,  Zach and I have gotten to spend a lot of time together,  and it has been so lovely.  I conned him into going to the store with me last night to make milkshakes. They were superb.
Oh,  we started apartment hunting in Salem, and so far my little ball of fur is too big for everyone.  Kinda rude.  Since when can we discriminate by weight? My poor dog is going to be all self conscious now!
