- Engaged, just got our first home, me 29, him 32, we're both overweight
- Years ago I got pregnant and had an abortion
- TTC#1
- First month really trying (Why have I thought I'd ever be of the 10% of anything?!?)
- Haven't charted, only OPKs and have caught the half level on CD 12 and the full on smiley face on CD 13 and we BDed on CD 10, 12, 13 and 14 (in retrospect maybe we stopped too soon)
- I'm not sure of the CD length as of yet, we'll see after shows
Symptoms:
- On DPO 7 or 9 (I can't wait to determine the dang length!) I had some dreadfully sharp stabbing pains in the middle of my uterus
- From then on dizzy spells, sore boobs on and off, stuffed nose, symptoms of UTI, a mild trush case, hugely yucky heartburn and acid reflux
- On DPO 12 or so I threw up my lunch
- Very vivid dreams I confuse with reality -losing it!-
- Temp seems to be around 37.1 to 37.5 every morning!
- HPT from day 9 (maybe) DPO till day 13 DPO and with the exception of a faint in dept cross line all BFN
- No sign of AF yet but I'm now sure she'll come, afterall no one gets a BFP this late, if I were pregnant it would have shown by now.
Conclusion:
So after going through a fortune worth of HPT and all being BFN I'm now convinced all my symptoms must be from having a cold. I have however determined I have a serious POAS addiction and have been overjoyed to see Sweden finally imports the expensive CB Digitals.
I already armed myself with two thermometers (the only way to get basal temp in Sweden seems to be through the arse one! WTF?!?), 12 PreSeeds, 10 CB Digital OPKs and waiting with interest to see when AF shows so that I can finally work out how long my cycle is!
The action plan is to both temp and use OPKs and coraborate the two then force poor DF to BD from day 10 to day 20! I'm taking Aspirin and I'll have him on Zinc and Vitamin C. We'll do that for two more months then go see a doctor and check ourselves up. Hope it works and we get a sometime before we lose our sanity!

Okay guess this goes in here too. This has become so typical over the past 2 weeks...
In the morning -after another BFN- I was calm and collected, convinced that yeah, I have a cold and we are not pregnant and so what?!? I even had the whole action plan from now on getting me excited.
Meanwhile I was glued to this forum and even worse -the horror- found twoweekswait.com and have been reading symptoms like crazy so I'm back to checking the calendar again and again and thinking that "well it is just 13 DPO now, it could be 12 DPO or even 11! some women get it later, who knows, there's still a chance!". This is crazy.
I keep trying to be rational, "What's a month, what were you doing last March? See? Don't even remember, you've had hundreds of months, some of which you completely discarded, even if it takes 6 months to conceive it will be nothing in the grand scheme of things!" but it's not working.
Then I read Cinderella08's story and another lady's and think there's still hope till shows. Can I just get some AF dust from somewhere, please?!? This is positively making me crazy.
To make it worse we have a thousand swedish kronor riding on this, that's how convinced DH is that we are pregnant afterall.

I just found your journal and I am still laughing out loud at your entries. At least if you don't get a BFP this time, we get to read more funnies and share some hair pulling moments.
Actually it would be great for you to succeed, really and I am only joking above. It does make you a little insane I agree and today I seem to have developed a new fetish of checking my FF chart every 10 minutes to see if by some miracle it looks any more hopeful.
Here's sending you some for your journey.

1000 SEK is not much. Or it is if you compare it to dollars tee hee. (About 100 Euro and 170 USD I guess) but it will buy enough useless-but-shinny-Chinese shoes to see me through AF depression hopefully.
Update on insanity: I POAS again. A-GAIN! Unbelievable, I should get an award for most-peeing-despite-evidence-person-in-the-world! So I get a BFN with FMU and does that make me think I am out? (Well it did for about 2 hours...) No! It sends me to try again with aft pee! I have a college degree or two for crying out loud!
Lo and behold though.... another faint line. I even took a pic of the damn thing but my hand was shaking so it's a lovely blue and white blur. So I got myself Digitals and will try again, of course, tomorrow. -Yay for Sweden importing them as of this week LOL-
I got it into my head that maybe I haven't O'ed till later, that would make me 10 or 11 DPO! Okay so I'm crazy. In fact, crazy enough that when I took my mom in for a doc's appointment today I asked for a blood test.
No surprise this being Sweden and all, they don't do them. At all. He offered a plastic cup and a HPT. Was I going to turn down a chance to pee on a stick?!? Hell no! So what if it's 3 p.m and I just peed half an hour ago? So what if it's so evidently useless? So I did, especially since he said "Well a line is a line is a line, no matter how very faint!"
BFN by all means BUT he made me pee again and he found that I have a UTI!
"Can I be nauseated because of it?"
"Nope"
"Can I be dizzy, surely I can!"
"Nope"
"Is my temp higher because of the UTI?"
"Yeah! How much was it?"
"37.5 some days!"
"Ah, no then, you mean higher in that sense....I'll need to give you some antibiotics..."
"Allright! So I'm not pregnant then if I can take antibiotics!"
"Ah there's that.... I'll make them pregnancy safe just in case."
LOL! Girlie, you are great and your journal really made me laugh. I really really really really hope you bet your really soon! Here is some dust for you!
