TTC #2 CD 25 (maybe?) 11 dpo (for sure!)
I have been hanging low these last few days, and trying not to obsess too much, which is, of course, impossible. My abdomen still feels full, and I’ve been getting slight AF-like cramps a little bit here and there. I have tested at 7 dpo, 9 dpo, 10 dpo, and 11 dpo. The first two were negative. The second two…well, there is a very, very faint second line. It almost looks like it’s underneath the first line. So, I don’t know what to think. AF is due tomorrow, but I hope she stays away. I may have slightly sore nipples, but I am not sure if that’s from poking my BBs all the time or not. My temps were down yesterday, but back to 98.2 this morning.
I have for the past 2-3 cycles gotten a brownish cm 2 days before AF, but nothing this time. Well, I do have some cm, which is just sticky and normal in appearance, no color to it. I am going to test on Saturday, if AF does not show up. I’ll have to buy some more HPTs, but I don’t care. I haven’t told Al anything, if I tell him something, I want to be 100% sure, and I am just not right now. I am confused as to whether the tests are a positive, or they are a figment of my imagination. I know a line, is a line, is a line, but scientifically, and logically, I can’t let myself get my hopes up, yet.
So, that is where I stand at the moment right now. I also gagged yesterday when I was brushing my teeth. It was odd. It may have been the prenatal vitamin, though. So, I guess right now I am being cautiously optimistic. I am trying to drink a lot of water, so it gives me an excuse to use the bathroom and check the toilet paper for *anything*. The first week of the 2WW went by so fast, it was a joke. I was thinking, “What’s so bad about this? What’s there to complain about?” Ha, ha! I now know what is so bad about it! The last 4 days have dragged by so slowly that I feel like I am in a time warp. Well, if AF doesn’t show tomorrow, that will tell me everything. For the past 7 cycles I’ve been charting, she always shows up 12 dpo. Oh, please let me be pregnant!
Good luck everyone, this week. I hope to have good news to report soon!
