Okay, so I have been super busy and extremely tired, so I haven't had a chance to update. A couple days ago I had a bit of a spike, and my chart gave me crosshairs, saying that I ovulated CD 25. I wasn't sure I agreed with that, but I was happy.
Yesterday I thought my temp went down and was quite disappointed, and discouraged. I was busy all day until bedtime, but turned on the computer real quick to put my temp into FF (Fertility Friend) and double checked my thermometer. I got one of the numbers wrong, which changed my temperature by nearly a degree! That is a HUGE difference. That gave me a lovely spike, and I passed out.
Today my temp was down a bit, but it was above my coverline and I'm not sure I slept three hours in a row because my kitty woke me up a few times, so I didn't worry too much.
This afternoon I decided to take an OPK to be sure, and thought, what the heck, and dipped an HPT also. I got a bfn on the HPT, which is no surprise, especially since I'm (at most) 9 DPO, but the OPK was dark! I was like.. what the hell? I posted it on my ttc message board, and most people agreed that I hadn't ovulated at all, and that I am still gearing up to it. However, one person said she saw something. WHAAA?? I didn't, it was stark white.
Being the obsessive ttc-er that I am, I decided to pee again.. well actually, my body decided to pee again, I just decided to stick a cup underneath. I dipped a test, and, I'll be damned... there's a line.
Being also the pessimist that I am, I dipped four more tests, and one OPK. The OPK was dark again, three HPT's were bfn, and one HPT was a dud. There may not be a line on the three tests, but they aren't exactly white either. And there is no mistaking the line on the first one, it's just a matter of whether it is an evaporation or a real bfp.
I am dying, I feel nauseous and so scared that it isn't real, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I will test again before bed, and in the morning if I have time. Fingers very much crossed!
