Peeing On Sticks

OH MY GOODNESS!!! All I want to do is pee on a stick! I want to take a home pregnancy test with every fiber of my being. The horrible part is I have a couple home pregnancy tests just sitting around waiting. I promised myself I was going to wait this time. I wasn't really going to test.

My original thought was testing on the 10th of February because I don't want to find out the hard way on my birthday. That would be the Friday before blood test on the following Monday. I am pretty sure that I would get an appropriate reading then. Also the doctor in the ER told me that it's pretty much concrete science that everyone gets a period 14 days after ovulation if they aren't pregnant. The 10th of Feb. would actually be 14 days after my IUI.

So what does one do to resist the urge? Well, I went on the internet hoping to find LOTS of common sense that said I had to wait and test would be futile. That is exactly what I didn't find! Apparently I one of millions of infertile women the world wide desperate to know as early as possible. Message boards, polls etc. all proclaiming women peeing on stick as early as 6 days after ovulation!!

I think as group (infertiles) we have descend to a new level called "tweaking". Women are posting pictures of their home pregnancy tests to have other "tweaking" them in photoshop to confirm to disconfirm the mystical second line that we all see after a while. I think I shall not be participating in this. But I am not above eating my own words if I do.

So where I stand is I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want to take a test tomorrow morning. I would say my desire to take the test tomorrow is just under my desire to have a baby. But I am hoping I can hang in their until the 7th which is a Tuesday.

This next part is really more for me but if anyone else cares, I hope it helps.

My throat is killing me. It has been for a while now. I keep feeling mild cramping and twinges in my random areas but mainly in the ovaries. I am still awesomely bloated but more clothes are fitting. I am either WAY hungry or not all...go figure. And my lower back hurts. Now I could probably attribute each of theses symptoms to something else logically but I am hoping they are early pregnancy symptoms.

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LET ME PREGNANT! PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
