I AM DRIVING MYSELF INSANE! (Still...more...again?)
Still obsessively symptom spotting
sore boobs, crampy stomach and today I have been feeling like I was going to puke all day. I actually drank *shudder, gasp!* TEA instead of my usual coffee because I wasn't sure I could keep it down. I was sitting with the heating pad last night with terrible cramps. I have felt weary and tired for most of the week. blah blah blah
But....I have been testing with OPK (I invested in seriously, like 100 of them because of the problem with not ovulating because of the depo) just to get a gauge of how things are working and what my body/hormones/self does with the whole ovulation process. (When I used to ovulate I was focusing on NOT getting pregnant so I didn't really notice anything)
ALL of the OPKs I have taken since my positive (super duper dark control line) on the 15th have had some kind of line. I have taken 1-2 a day (again, I bought 100 of them online for nearly nothing) and this morning, line. This afternoon no line. No ghost of a line. No hoping trace of almost a line. Just white.
Now, everyone please explain to me that I am at MOST 8dpo and there is a slim likelihood that I have implanted and that even if I had I would not have enough HCG in my system to make a positive tests.
I feel I have been getting my hopes up with all of the positive ovulation tests (as LCH and HCG are similar and many have reported early positives with LCH tests), please tell me that I just have a long surge or that they are broken or something.
I promise I am usually quite sane and sensible. (Evidence: I have about 10 other HPTs sitting around that I have gone all POAS crazy with)
