(In all honesty, that's a lie. I don't actually pee on the stick. I pee in a cup... one very special cup used only for this purpose. Then I dip said stick into said cup... well, it's actually a mug. But whatev. I digress.)
So yeah. A lot. At least one OPK a day since basically CD 5 (which was March 18th, 2010). Most days, two tests even... because I worry about missing the LH surge.
But each day that passed, I kept getting negative results. Very negative results. The test line barely registered, in fact (see photo below for CD 13).
Then on CD 14, the test registered darker than it had so far this cycle. I got excited. It was still a negative, but it was starting to get darker. Maybe I was one of the women that had the lead in to a positive OPK.
So, Sunday morning while getting ready for work, I decided to test for my surge. I peed, dipped and continued to flat iron my hair as the test "developed." Without much thought (almost forgetting about it, in fact), I glanced down a couple minutes later to see a positive OPK! I grabbed it, ran into the bedroom (where Husband was still sleeping) and shouted for victory!
See?
(Sorry about the yellow on the positive OPK test tip... but, you know, it is what it is.)SO.
Yeah. We took care of bizness. Now I just wait. I'm going to try and force myself to not take a HPT until at least April 10th... which will be approximately 12 DPO (since I figure I ovulated yesterday). I'd even like to wait until about April 13th, if I can, in case I didn't actually ovulate until today or even tomorrow... or later. But, if any of you have been or are TTC, you know just how impossible it is to wait to test. So, we'll see.
Anyways... here's spreading baby dust... .·:*¨¨*:·.
