Garfie, yeah I've been doing em at least twice a day this time, sometimes three! Night before last I think I did two and it was suuuuper negative, like the test line was barely even detectable (once my urine was too dilute, so I did it again to be sure). Then that night was the cramping followed by bleeding. Yesterday morning, after what happened, I did do an OPK but it was with FMU (I wasn't going to be around for mid-morning). It was still negative, but darker, enough that I thought it was going to turn positive soon. Then it was around 8 pm when I got to do it again and it was very, very positive. So I mean if I surged in the 12 hours between testing, it was still after the cramping/bleeding and I still may have ovulated within just a few hours of the surge?? So confusing.
Brunette, I can't see it, but seems I'm in the minority, so yay. Maybe it's just my monitor. I hope in the coming days it just gets darker and darker!
Kat,

that image is just so true. It comes and it goes, no matter how much time passes, and sometimes it hits hard out of nowhere.

I'm glad if you had to get AF, the timing wasn't too cruel. I did get AF on the anniversary of my miscarriage and it was pretty upsetting...felt just too cruel. I managed by taking DD and going shopping out of town. Ran into my parents there so at least I kept myself distracted.

Then I came home and made cupcakes and lit a "birthday" candle. I don't know, I deal in weird ways maybe. You'll be in my thoughts and I'll be praying that you can feel at least some sense of peace in your heart.
