Hi Lea!
Welcome to the TWW! I hope it ends in a BFP for you!!
I hate to say it but I should probably point out that if you're only 8 days past your positive opks/ovulation, AF isn't late at all.
Ovulation might change during your cycle and happen earlier or later, but you LP (luteal phase-the part of your cycle that happens after ovulation) rarely changes and it should always be longer than 10 days.
If it's shorter than 10, you have an LP defect and unless you correct it, your chances of pregnancy are very low because it doesn't give the egg time to implant.
Most women's LP's are at least 12 days long, but can last up to 16 days. So once you figure out how long your LP is usually, at the end of that, if AF isn't around...then you're officially late for you period.
If I were you, this month, I would assume that your normal LP length is somewhere between 12 and 14 days past ovulation...then around 11 or 12 DPO, I would start testing to see if those symptoms are trying to tell you something good.
The water infection, while unpleasant, is something I think a couple of our currently preggo TWW ladies mentioned on their lucky months. So maybe it's a good sign for you too!
Keep us updated! Good luck!!
