AF Arrived - BFN #1

I woke up with AF this morning so I'm out of the race. The good thing is that after all the POAS I'd done I'm not really upset. I'd rather move on than stay in a state of uncertainty.

That said, I guess I have no choice but to paint the baseboards and door frames. Damn it - I was really hoping to be off the hook.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to be going in for my pre-scheduled bloodwork but I have AF so its rather obvious... not sure what to do or if its protocol to end my cycle. I think I'm going to skip it and call and ask instead because the LAST thing I want to do is go in early for bloodwork to be called and told something I already know.

Still BFN

I keep waiting for my BFP but sadly keep seeing a BFN. AF should arrive Monday which is also when I go back to the clinic for my bloodwork.

BFN 10 DPI

I used my first HPT (ever) and the result was a BFN (10DPI).

I guess this is why people do not test early! I knew it was early and that didn't stop me. It also didn't stop me from going to the dollar store to check if they had HPT (they did!), buying one and trying it as soon as I got home. Also, BFN. lol The good news is I can buy $1 tests so I'm going to go back tomorrow and get a few...er.... several and will have a POAS party.

My First Pregnancy Tests

I finally went out and bought 2 HPT. It was a 2 pack for $18.99...yikes... and plan on testing tomorrow morning (10 DPI) and then again on either Saturday or Sunday 13/14 DPI. I have my actual blood test at the clinic booked for Monday morning. The tests I bought were the "First Response" ones that claim to show results 4 days before a missed period. I know Its working out that I'm only going to be able to try once every 2 months until the beginning of March if I'm not lucky sooner than that. I'll be away for my insem at the end of this month/beginning of November and then my clinic is closed the first week of January. That leaves my 2nd try in December and 3rd in February. Arghhhhhh.... It sucks that I'm missing 2 opportunities!!!!!

Not Feeling Pregnant

I'm on 8DPI and haven't really felt much. On Sunday morning I woke up at 4:30 am sick to my stomach (threw up) and went back to bed. We got all excited thinking it could be morning sickness but I think it was more likely exhaustion from being at my cousins wedding the day before. Other than that. I'm not feeling anything.... I'm not expecting a BFP this try since this is only try #1 so I'm trying not to set myself up for disapointment by thinking too much about it.

No Control

I'm soooo tempted to start charting... I think I'd feel more in control but since I do have the opportunity to have cycle monitoring for free that is probably what I should do and not spend money on an OPK. For this cycle I'll just wait....and worry....

Aside from CM I'm also worrying about what I eat, what I lift.. I'm going crazy!

Freaking out already

Yy insem yesterday was at the 30 hour mark past my LH Surge on a fully moniterd cycle but I didn't have EWCM until TODAY. I feel like maybe I've missed the window and the swimmers are dead if I haven't O'd yet.

Since I'm not doing any monitoring at home I'm completely trusting the bloodwork and u/s at the clinic. This sucks.
