Hello Hello Hello Ladies and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I'm glad everyone seems to be doing great (if not excellent) and still progressing towards our inevitable BFPs (or in some cases, our Hubbies are - lol @ Opera
) I have HIGH hopes for all of us this year!
DF & I had a lovely vacation and celebrated with our friends who married on New Years Eve (so wonderfully adorable) in Palm Springs, CA. Not as hot as I would have thought, but Dryyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Anyway, there was a MASSIVE blunder on my part - so my temperature did a HUGE spike on CD21, then back down, then lower still (I should say LOWEST) then I kinda gave up b/c I realized the thermometer kept flashing "LOW". So I bought a new thermom and wouldn't you know it THAT battery was bad, too (UGH!) so I just went about temping with faulty thermoms just to keep the habit up, really, but ultimately was frustrating myself to NO end!
Then, on a whim I took an HPT on CD24....... right away I saw a line......
HOLY F#*^ SH($&!!!!!!!! I called DF in right away and we were getting excited and nervous..... We couldn't believe our eyes, and I was only 8 dpo (I congratulated myself for listening to my body and knowing when I O'd) and I was ASTOUNDED........
Then I realized my Horrible, Horrific, Depressing Error -
I mixed up my tests and took an OPK instead of and HPT
I cried. Mostly because I felt bad for exciting my hubby and then having to tell him my mistake
Needless to say, I felt pretty stupid about that - HOW could I have fooled myself into thinking I was getting a BFP at EIGHT DAYS PAST OVULATION!? HA! I need to get my TTC-crazy had examined! Hee Hee!
Anyway, I'm SO VERY glad we're back at home - I'm over the disappointment now, and FINALLY have a new battery in my thermometer....
But I must say here that I am NOT sure at all now that I have Ovulated this cycle b/c I think my temps are just not reflecting that confirmation (even with the low battery) and my cervix is literally STUCK in a FIRM/Medium/Medium/Creamy state (seriously) for FOREVER now, but the last two days has been getting SOFTER, so I really am just at a total LOSS.
I wish so badly that I hadn't forgotten my thermometer at Christmas Time, and I'm also Upset that I now rely SO much on all these little technological gadgets and I'm just kicking myself for peeing on a silly OPK, but I guess that I have to have a funky cycle every now and then....
Here's FX for O-ing, and KNOWING (haha, rhyme!)! I will just let this go and chalk it up to a bad experience.
That and I may still O yet! Or DID when I thought and just won't know until later! I'm just gonna shrug it off and Keep BDing every other day like a good girl
.... just in case
Oh no, GingerPanda! Stupid af! Why does it always come after we waste a test? I'm so sorry.
