What the blink?! I am not sure what cycle day I am on but it has been approximately a little over a week since I put away my feminine products. This means I am possibly two weeks into this cycle and if my cycles were “normal” according to doctors, then ovulation would be right around the corner. However, I’ve never been “normal” and I’ve never been known to ovulate on any day earlier than possibly calendar day 24 or 25. But today, I got a blinking smile! It was completely unexpected and has left me in total shock.
I rolled out of bed, rubbed the sleepy from my eyes, staggered to the bathroom, peed on the expensive ovulation prediction test stick, took a shower, got out of the shower and lo and behold I had a smiley face blinking at me! What the blink?! Do you know what this means?! This means that I might actually have a “normal” 28-30 day textbook cycle with ovulation around day 14 this month! Do you know what else this means?! This means God is doing a new thing and my body is supernaturally being healed. Do you know what else this means?! This means that hopefully I won’t be an enormous (not pregnant) fool much longer. Do you know what else this gorgeous smile means?! It means the time has come for the magical and romantic scheduled moment in which Daniel will hopefully pollinate my flower. Bow chicka wow wow!
Wondering what my face looked like when I saw the blinky smile? This was it.

That’s right! Wink, wink. Tehehe
YAY!! That is two months in a row now right? Sounds like your body is on the right path. I sure hope this is your month!
Last month I didn’t ovulate until probably around day 25? So this month is much better!!
Ahhh. Okay. YAY! This month is much better.
Yay! Your body most definitely is being healed. That is amazing, but our God is very Awesome! 🙂 There is no limit to what He can do. He can do ANYTHING!
Amen!!! I am stoked!!!
Go get jiggy girl!!! 😉 x
Tehehehehe!!
Hi, I am fairly new to your blog. I hope you don’t take this in a negative way, I just wanted to share one of my stories. I too have had ovulation problems. I tried several ovulation kits. Gave up on those after never getting a confirmed O. My RE recommended I try again and buy the Clear Blue one like in your above photo. I eventually got a blinking smiley for the first time! I was soooo excited! It is an amazing thing to see. Well after letting my RE know, she wanted to confirm ovulation had occurred by testing my progesterone. I went and had it checked, and it was so low. It showed I had not ovulated at all. 🙁 I asked her how could it have said it was?! She said I got a false positive. The stick had frozen the next day on a solid smiley, so not sure if that had something to do with its defective reading?
So I am hoping you don’t go through any of that false hope. You should be able call your OB/RE to have your progesterone checked to confirm. Best of luck to you!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! My hope isn’t in the test stick though because I know they can be faulty. But rather my hope is in God and I believe that my prayers are being heard and answered. Hopefully this I the cycle 🙂
I like your thinking! Lots of positive thoughts your way! Best of luck!! 🙂
Yuppy!! that’s fantastic. I completely understand what a big deal this is. I have never seen a smile on a stick in my whole life. Such a good sign. Hope you two have some fun 😉
xx
Thanks sugars!!! I was in total shock to see it so much earlier than last month with my first smile!
Yay! Keep doing what you’re doing babes! And shave your legs! Lol. XOXO
Bahaha! Do I have to? Tehehe
No, but *best practice* 😉
Wonderful news!!!!
Thanks! I totally agree!!!
Yay!!! Go blinky with it! LOL So happy for you! Praying for you!! xo
Thank ya! Hopefully we time this right. I am trusting God to make his spermies stay alive for how ever long and do their job :).
Woohoo!!! Go God!!!! Have a completely romantic, fun and scheduled few days/nights with Daniel, lol 🙂
Thanks girl! Praises to God for this blinky!
Wonderful! So happy for your turn of events here. God is working to fulfill his promises for you!
Amen!! I believe He is doing a new thing!! Xo
Lol oh Elisha. This is awesome news!
I agree!!! I am excited!!
This is so exciting!! If nothing else, have fun for the next few weeks with your husband! 🙂
Wonderful news!!
I have never cheered two people on for getting busy more than I have for you two 🙂 xoxo
This is wonderful news girl!!! Praise God for his healing!!
Hurray!! 😀
Yeah!!! Funny how exciting it is when our bodies finally do something “normal”:)
So exciting! Enjoy your time together (wink, wink). Thanks for sharing the awesome work God is doing!
So Happy for you!!! Get blinky with it every other day… Go Go Go! I agree it will be in God’s time and he is preparing your body and maybe on cycle Day 28-30 it will BFP!!! Your body is healed, I speak it in the name of Jesus!
Wouldn’t that be awesome to get a BFP in 14 days?! It’s surreal to even think about.
Yes it would be awesome and we know our God is awesome so it is definitely possible!
That is awesome. Brings tears of joy. God is good!
That’s awesome!! I never got a “blinky face” when I used OPK’s, mine always went from “peak” to “low” without ever being “high”. I think this is a great sign!!! So happy you’re ovulating again, and on time!!! Have a fun weekend 😉
Thanks sugars! I think this is a great sign that things are finally moving in the right direction 🙂 I hope you have a good weekend too!
I have a new found love for your blinky faces. 🙂 this transformation with your cycles is amazing!
I am loving these smiley faces!! hehehe! If anything, at least it is making me have sex. After three years of constant trying I was finding myself only “doing the deed” twice a month. That kind of minimal activity wont get anyone prego! lol
Yippy!! So excited for the Blinky Smile face!! Whoot whooot, it’s business time 😉 Get it girl!
Thanks sugars!! xoxoxo
Yippee!!! Hopefully this is your month!
Hopefully! If not, at least it is a sign that things are moving in the right direction 🙂
Go get it girl!!!!!!!! PCOS is so annoying. I used to get so excited when I would have a period and most women would hate it. I’m like NO, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, MY BODY IS WORKING!!! lol
I know right?! I remember last year I was walking into my parents house and screamed…”I started my period today!” I was jumping up and down and my dad looked alllll confused because he knew we were trying to conceive. I had to explain to him that it came and it hadn’t been over 50 days since the last one! HUGE milestone back then.
This is exceptionally amazing!!! I’m so happy for you! I’m expectantly awaiting good news very soon!!
hehehehehehe!!! xo
Yay, yay, yay for the blinky smile!!!! Your body is healing and you are on your way…your continued strength and optimism is always so inspiring!! Now get to that baby makin’!! xoxo
Thanks sugars!! I wish you all could have seen my face when I looked down and saw a blinky smile. I seriously was not expecting anything for another week or so.
Yayyyy!
Shut the front door!!! This is seriously incredible news!!!! It’s so these “little” things that are HUGE things and remind us His power and heart for us!!! Love this!
Totally agree!! I’m stoked!!
yay!
LOL, bow chicka wow wow! Have fun girl 😉
Thanks girl! Shaving the legs tonight 😉 bahaha
Praise the Lord for supernatural healing!
Yes! HE gets all the glory and honor! It’s by His grace! xo
Woot! Looks like we know what you’ll be up to tonight/tomorrow. Enjoy! 😉
yep! and probably just every night next week for good measure 🙂
Go get ’em Girl. Or better yet – go get HIM 🙂
Praise Jesus – he’s doing great things!
Tehehe! Yes, He sure is!! Xo
I remember the shock and elation when I would finally have a positive OPK! 7-8 years ago there were no blinky faces… just mine when I actually ovulated! Now, just remember to stand on your head for about three hours after all three times you have sex in the next 36 hours. 😉
Three hours? I will do four and suck down a fertility smoothie just in case 😉 baha! Lol!!
While standing on your head, of course! If you do, you need to record that and post it!
It might be my next Monday funnies! Lol!!
Yay!!! Thank you God! Now go get busy! 😉
HOORAY for a timely ovulation and normal cycle length. Well, let’s just hope it’s not normal length and instead turns into 9 months!
God is totally working to restore your body. I am not amazed because He has made His promise to you for Josiah and He is working on fulfiling that promise. I AM so grateful, though, for the work that He is doing in your body and in your life! The woman that called you a (not pregnant) fool will have to eat her words very soon!!! Now…take MLACS advice and shave those sexy legs and go get to it!! Hooray!!!
So excited for you!!! “Soon”!!!
Oh my goodness!!!! I’m so excited for you and your second blinky face! God is so good 🙂
Well actually this is my first. Last month it went straight to a smile. This month my prayers were a bit more specific. Lol!
Oh! Well, it’s so exciting that He answered your exact prayers!
Yippee!!! Ready? Set? Shave! Go!!!!!
This TOTALLY confirms the word God gave me for you at church this last week. I sent you a note about it. 😉 Congrats, girlie! Your body is ready to go!
Yeaaaaah girl! Get it! Haha…
amazing news!!! hooray!
Hip hip hooray!!!
Time to get busy!! xoxox
Hehehe! Yes it is 😉
Woo hoo! Great news! I’m wishing you all the very best for this cycle! 🙂
Thanks girl!! I couldn’t believe it!
HOLE – LEE – CRAP!!! Last month you said you should have been more specific! I guess god heard you and provided what you wanted. Now we just need to pray for the whole package.
Isn’t it awesome! I was in total shock! God answers prayers!
fantastic!!! Been praying for you lots, girl!!!! And will continue to do so!!!!! Yay for answered prayers!! Love ya! xoxo
Thank you, thank you for your prayers! Prayers are the direct line to God and I know He hears them all 🙂
Yeah!
