I know I shouldn't have expected much. We've been taking a break from all of the medical intervention while getting moved and settled into the new place... but my body really decided to throw me a curve this time.
When I'm not on drugs, there are generally about 10-11 days that lapse between the time the I ovulate and the time that lovely red dragon rears her ugly head. So you can imagine my excitement as 12 days passed, then 13, 14 and 15!
I'm not big on the whole pregnancy test thing for a number of reasons. Number one, those things can be expensive. Yes, I can get cheap ones online or at the $ store, but they're not always the most reliable. Secondly, it just flat out sucks seeing one lonely line month after month after month. So I just wait unless I've got reeeeeally good reason to think something might be happening.
Well, making it to 15 dpo seemed like a pretty good reason to me. So I let myself take a test, only to get the exact same result I get every single time. Sure enough, less than 30 minutes later The Hag was kicking down the door.
On to Cycle #22.

:-( I'm so sorry that your body got your hopes up like that. I know how you feel though...with my irregular cycles each month is a gamble and testing happens a lot because I never know how close (or far) I am from anything.
I have a question though. Did it help or make worse, not posting about this and having people throwing their two cents in? I find it easier to just keep quiet because then I don't have a whole gaggle of people pushing my hopes even higher. :-(
Hugs!
Ya know... to be honest, I didn't get a whole lot of feedback initially because we were still getting settled in from the move. So I wasn't logging on as much.
Once I couldn't see a clear O, I got on to ASK for opinions or just to reaffirm what I was already thinking. So in that regard it was helpful.
So I guess it was kinda 50/50! LOL!!
