AF or Jedi Mind Tricks

I haven't really been having many early pregnancy 'symptoms'. Nothing much but a bfn at 7 and again at 9dpo. I'm not sure exactly why I tested at 7dpo. I knew even if I would be pregnant that 7dpo is far too early. I guess I just wanted to make sure that if it truly was bfn after almost 60 days of waiting, that I'd be able to handle it alright.

As for the test at 9dpo, I was hoping the earlier post from the psychic (see below) was correct and that January 19th meant something positive for us. Well if it did, I am not yet aware of it. It was a clear bfn as I mentioned. Plus my temperature dropped a little bit, so I can't lie that did have me a bit disheartened today.

So, that leaves me with speculating the only symptoms I'm feeling are a bit of a fluttery full feeling lower belly. Gas perhaps? I did make, and eat homemade chili today. A bit of pulling on my belly button (although possibly imagined or also from gas), but mostly just the feeling of small cramps like maybe AF is trying to show up? I wish there was an easy way to tell right at conception if it worked or not. Take out all of the stressing and guessing. If only we were that technologically advanced.

Tomorrow will be 10dpo after all and it seems that based on past charting, my body may think that a 10 day LP is the norm. I wont be super surprised if AF shows her ugliness, as long as she knows she's going to need to take an extended vacation here really soon.

I'm hoping that my bbt in the morning will be back higher again and I'll be left to wonder for a longer time yet. Wish me luck and prayers. We'll keep on waiting as long as it takes for our own little miracle.

Next Day Edit: Temp drop again and now my chart is looking sadly like AF may be showing up soon. We did everything right this cycle so I guess if it doesn't happen for us, we're just not in the 20% for pregnancy this time around. Let's hope the next cycle isn't nearly as long!
