10 DPO
Friday, June 06, 2008
As you can see, I have a whole collection of negatives. I expected to get a lot, but seeing this many is a bit discouraging. I think maybe it was a mistake to start the dollar store tests so early. I know, pregnancy really can't be detected until at least 10 days post ovulation. And this string of negatives is making me feel a bit crazy for having actually thought it might have detected pregnancy before 10 dpo.So, today is 10 days past ovulation. I was so frustrated with the whole thing that I didn't even take a test today. Maybe because I know that if today's test is negative, it has a much higher probability of being correct. Besides, even if I got a positive, there's still a chance it could turn into a chemical pregnancy and I would have my period anyway. So, maybe I should wait.
But it's killing me. I just want to know. I have been so crabby lately. Hubby actually told me that I'm acting just like I did before we found out about Lilly. I don't remember feeling crabby or anything, but he does. So, he thinks the test will be positive. I just feel like it's all in my head and I'm probably crabby due to all the anxiety.
I haven't peed in five hours. I'm trying to decide if I want to take a test after all. I was reading the the First Response Early Tests can detect total hCG rather than just hCG. So, if I take a test, I might take one of those - seeing as I have a kit of three. But what's the point. It'll be negative. My crabbiness is simply a more extreme case of PMS (mixed with having house guests this week). Never mind my very sore breasts (but are they always this sore?), and feeling tired (which is probably a result of all the swimming classes and running around with Lilly).
But my chart looks good. Is this not a chart that could result in pregnancy?
The curious thing about the chart is that it estimates that my period will start next Tuesday. I'm also doing a chart with fertilityfriend.com and although it selected the same ovulation date, it estimates my period to start on Wednesday. But, according the my calculations (based on my last two cycles which I only know the start date), I think my period should start tomorrow. So, I really have no idea when I'll be "late".
So, do I take a test and if it's negative still wonder if it might be positive tomorrow or the next day?
I need a new project so I can stop thinking about this.
Meanwhile, Lilly, who is daytime potty trained and in a big girl bed, has just figured out that she can open her bedroom door and come out. Hmmm... I'll have to figure out what to do about this.
