It's Implantin' Time, Sprout(s)

According to my obsession research, a zygote implants in the uterus sometime around seven to ten days after conception.

I'm currently at nine days post-ovulation, so if implantation is going to happen this cycle, it's probably going on right now.

For what it's worth, I have been feeling some intermittant, mild cramplets since, I don't know, maybe Thursday or so?

I'm hoping that's the sensation of a wee creature or two burrowing into my endometrium.

Or, it could be that grilled cheese talking back to me.

Only time - and Dollar Store home pregnancy tests - will tell.

By the way, I have to thank my honey for the title of this post, and for this cycle's nom de utero.
Although we had said we would most definitely not do this, in each of our first two cycles, we "named" the theoretical zygote within the first couple of days.

This time, though, nothing struck us right off, and we'd decided that maybe that was best.

Until a couple of nights ago, when I said to Shrike, "You know, it's implantation time," to which she replied "It's implantin' time, Sprout!"

So, Sprout it is. (Or sprouts they are, as the case may be.)
