I'm sorry, Opera. I've been swamped with work all day. I was trying to play catch-up from being out all last week with the flu.
That's really strange about the ept test you took today (positive then negative then positive). I don't know what to make of it. Why do these things always have to work so mysteriously when we need them to give us piece of mind? I'm sorry. I wish I had answers for you. I do have a question though; have you made an appointment with any type of fertility specialist? If you're like me, your insurance won't cover it, and doctors always say, some couples just take longer than average to conceive naturally. For me, it seems like waiting it out for a couple of years, rather than spending a fortune to possibly (not definitely) get my bfp a few months earlier than without treatment, is a better decision (for me). Still, we're left wondering if we can even do it naturally. Not knowing your perspective on fertility treatment, I'm just wondering if you've tried any special medical treatments (knowing that you have PCOS)?
I hope you get answers soon for this cycle. I hope, hope, hope it's a BFP! It sounds like af may be on her way though. Still, your temps are up, which is a promising sign. I don't know. The more I learn about my body, the more I realize how in-the-dark we are about fertility. No matter what we learn and do, the body has ways of throwing us off. I'm going to keep these fingers crossed and hope for good news in the next couple of days from you. Either way, we're here to support you. We understand your frustration, girlie.
And one last quick rant: I know everyone talks badly about blue dye tests, but I have to tell you, the expensive digis I used when I got my bfp were blue dye. They're the ones a lot of people are using and swear by. I took them apart to look at the strips, and they're totally blue dye inside. I think people often spread theories based upon one experience on these sorts of forums, which don't necessarily have any validity. I have no doubt that there may be bad brands for evaps, which may also happen to be blue dye tests, but that doesn't mean all blue dyes are bad. It's likely that certain blue dye ICs on which people found evaps caused rumors to spread that all tests with blue dye are unreliable. Unless I see the science behind it, I'm skeptical of folk theories—but then, I do research for a living.
Sorry for the long post, ladies. I'm off to drink a glass of wine and hit the sack. Hugs to you all! Break an egg!!!
Sticky, positive, happy days for all!!!
