It was negative. Of course. I don’t even know why I bothered. I guess because I’m feeling fat and I want to exercise like a mad woman and I thought I should check to make sure that it’s negative first before I do that. It is only 11dpiui and it is technically like 5pm but lets not even entertain the idea that if it was morning urine it would come up positive. It’s just not possible (I used First Response and it’s supposed to tell you up to 5 days before your expected period. It’s 3 days before my expected period). It’s a bust. I’ve been cramping intermittently – the same usual PMS symptoms – no sore boobs, cramps, tiredness. The only different things this cycle is that I’ve had no CM at all during my LP and I’ve been waking up to pee all the time and can’t sleep, but I think it’s the time difference, temperature difference and the jet lag that are causing the sleep abnormalities.
I guess I’ll just let loose now, start drinking coffee, run more and forget about yet another miserable failure and try to enjoy the rest of my holiday here. IVF up next I guess. Ugh. I just can’t believe it’s come to this. Beyond depressed.
Update: ok so I just noticed that I bought the wrong pregnancy test. I got the FR Rapid Results test instead of the Early Result test and the sensitivity of FR Rapid Results is 100miu of hcg vs. 25miu of hcg for FRER. You’re not supposed to use the FRRR until they day of your missed period. But whatever, I still stand firm that I am not pregnant.
Hmmmmm. I’m not sure what to say. I was thinking of testing early, but you’ve definitely reminded me why that’s not a good idea. I think it’s good to not get your hopes up, but messing with your mind this way probably isn’t the best idea.
I’m sure you already read the box, but you know that it’s only 50% accurate 5 days before your period anyway, right?
I’ll still be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I gave up peeing on sticks a while back. Just so damn frustrating to see that lone pink line against the white as white background. but, this cycle, i had *medicine* on my side and started peeing at DPO 9. nothing. DP0 11. nothing. this morning at DPO 13. nothing. I was using the early sticks. I *know* that it didn’t work out this cycle, but some part of me just won’t give up that naive little hope that perhaps, just perhaps . . .
I really hope that you see that second line!
lame.
Sorry to hear about the result, but don’t give up hope.
