This is one of those months that I totally miscalculated when I was going to ovulate and ended up ovulating like 5 days later I think. My last cycle was 28 days but now it is probably going to end up being around 33 days. Possibly 34. Today is Friday April 3rd and I actually think I still have to wait until Monday. Ugh. I hate this waiting. I get so impatient. All I do is sit on the internet and look up stuff about ttc and symtoms and stuff. Although, I have found that after nearly 15 complete months of ttc I don't worry about every little symptom I experience anymore. I am a lot more self controlled. I have also gotten to know my body a lot better as a result of ttc, so I know what is PMS related. Although that doesn't always stop me from wishful thinking though which still can end up driving me nearly crazy most months! For me, I get so many PMS symptoms that can be the same as pregnancy, I wonder if there will be a difference when I actually get pregnant. Maybe one month I'll have no symptoms and end up pregnant. These are my PMS symptoms... bloating, fatigue, gas, peeing more frequently, tender swollen breasts, sore lower back, extreme hunger, and mood changes. Yah. Isn't that lovely??!! How will I ever know if I'm pregnant? Anybody else in the same boat?
So, anyways, yah, I'm on 12 dpo probably, and I badly wish I had some HPT's at home right now. I'm waiting for my internet cheapie order I placed on Monday but I think I have to wait until Wednesday, 5 days from now to get them. I had some internet OPKs at home that I had to use as HPTs the last couple of days but now I'm out of them too. (yah, I don't know how reliable they are in predicting pregnancy but I had to try!) We're in school right now and we can't afford to buy one at the store this month, so I won't cave and go get one. Although, I might chicken out, I still hate going and buying HPTs. I'm 23, almost 24, but I still look like a teenager so I hate how it looks and it makes me feel awkward. I like using self-checkouts, but they don't have them in the small town we live by right now.
"Symptoms" I've been having have been...
I've been bloated off and on (normal)
Had some pinching yesterday in left ovary area and a bit in right ovary (semi-normal)
I have sore bb's, and kinda tender nips (normal)
I've had my extreme hunger pangs (normal)
I think today I've been experiencing my mood changes (normal)
Yesterday I think I had a hot flash (normal)
So far fatigue hasn't really hit yet. That's kinda weird maybe.
Yah, anyways, those "symptoms" are most likely my normal PMS, which makes me sad. We want a baby so badly you know? Ok, well, pray for us that this is the month! God bless!
