I’m at CD24 and I believe that I’m currently 4DPO (to use the days past ovulation jargon).
I’m currently going crazy waiting to test to see if I am indeed knocked up. I never thought (and always hoped) that I’d never become the kind of woman that obsessed over peeing on little sticks to see if I’m pregnant (I always thought I’d just know) but it appears that I am that woman!
My normal luteal phase is 10 days so it’s not as if I have to wait particularly long to find out if my period is late or not!
So in order to stay sane whilst waiting to test I have ordered some cheap-y ebay dip tests that are sensitive to 10miu of HcG and I’ve been pointed at the wonderful website that is peeonastick.com which has been keeping me amused.
Aside from the waiting I’m also coping with horrible cramps, slight nausea, tender boobs and an aversion to chocolate. But that could be due to anything.
For instance,
- the last two cycles were anovulatory and for the last 2 weeks of each I had constant cramps
- my boobs get sore as a standard PMT symptom
- there are various tummy/sickness bugs doing the rounds at work and any bug would upset my stomach and put me off eating chocolate
So readers, bear with me whilst I wait for my dip sticks to arrive and desperately try to hold out until 10DPO to test.
