The doctor says I should do an OPK. I want to know the answer too but I don’t want to be that person who focuses too much. I feel like the OPK is a sure fired way to induce anxiety in my soul. I’m doing it anyway.
Tuesday there was a very strong test line but it was just barely not the same as the control and it certainly wasn’t darker so I counted it as negative. Wednesday the test was completely negative. No test line, not even a whispered shadow. My first thought was that I had consumed too much water and that I should wait a bit and re-test. I went about the rest of my evening drinking only a bit of water with my dinner. Tested again before bed. Still shockingly negative.
This morning, if the Tuesday test was positive, my temp should be rising. Instead it’s falling. It was up slightly on Wednesday morning but it is back down again this morning.
Remember that anxiety I was so worried about. Here she comes, full force!
I am supposed to schedule blood-work for 7 days post ovulation. I called today to schedule for next Tuesday and I am going to assume that ovulation occurred overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ll keep taking the OPK in the event that I haven’t’ actually ovulated yet. My temp charts in the past say I’m not actually due to ovulate until tomorrow. Maybe the negative with a strong line was a fluke and the positive is coming? I’ll have to cal and reschedule my appointment…again! They’re going to think that I am crazy.
Meanwhile, my friend found out yesterday that she is having a little boy. That’s exciting! And I am happy for her. But oh is my uterus aching, my heart is breaking, and my arms are so empty. It’s been a rough go the past few days. Must keep my chin up!
