psssshhhhhh, that's totally your uterus starting to push your guts out of the way! When are you testing???
J...where do I start with ducks...lol! personally, I think they are waaaay more cuter than chickens. They are also pack animals, so they kind of herd around together whereas chickens will wonder all over the place on their own. they are also way hardier, and they enjoy shitty weather (like rain and snow). Chickens will stay under shelter in such conditions. the biggest drawback with ducks is they are messy mf'ers! they poop all over, and it's wet because THEY LOVE WATER. if there is a "pool" deep enough for their body, they'll try to get in it. they poop up their water, which is annoying because it has to be changed a couple times a day, but it's also beneficial because we use that water to water our plants and it's great natural fertilizer (it's how we grew all our food this year). So, eggs...they are ultimately larger, but they start out small. and by small, I mean like the size of a large chicken egg (they get a bit larger than a jumbo chicken egg in the second year, so I've read). They are more dense with nutrients and vitamins than chicken eggs, and a bit fattier too. this makes them more ideal to bakers because their fat content and lower water content makes, so I've read, for fluffier cakes and pastries, etc. I just bought some brownie mix to test it out later this weekI'm skeptical. The albumen (egg white) is thicker on duck eggs, and sloughs out of the shell at a slower rate...but to me it's tastier than chicken whites. the yolks are pretty similar, but they are slightly richer in taste. this is a comparison between pastured chicken eggs, not store bought ones. store bought eggs, with their pale yellow yolks, are disgusting and I haven't had those in years.
wow...that was a mouthful...
ok, the problem with timing bd'ing is that I have no idea when I'm due to ovulate. ovulation varies every month, but the time after ovulation to my period is always 13 days. so how do I time that?! I figured I'd just jump his bones and stop when I start getting my ovulation pain, which generally means O within 12 hours. I know, that is still giving me a chance at a boy...but if I'm sexin' it up until then, that gives me a better chance anyway, right?
or maybe I should get OPK's...but that just leaves me with more things to hide from hubsand more money I shouldn't be spending...
Eeeeew to duck s**t but yey for yummy eggs lol! Runny yolk eggs i miss immensely when pg so im getting all my gooey eggs in now before i 'fall' LOL!!
Ah so luck when u get your ov pains & ov like 12 hrs later.. Mine start at around cd11 & dont quit until cd16-17 uhh! I can ovulste anytume in that space! I really should temp but my cycles are diff each month grr!! I intend to hump my way through to at least cd15 & let nature take its course, no doubt im destined for another boy though, my DO has 2 sons now already, boys are lovely though, cuddly & chubby haha
