Drama and stress

Day 12

Last night I used the OPK. Well there was only 1 line. I have pictures but they are too hard to see. I will work on that. I then took another this morning as I have been reading that PCOS can cause shorter LH surges and you may not catch it just once a day. Boy let me tell you, I need to order the cheapies on the net. This could break me if this is not the cycle for the BFP. Anyways this morning there was a mild line (still negative) but at least I was showing something right? So I read further and the instructions said that the LH is always present….. well for me it isn’t. lol. Soooooo we progress on to tonight. I have been reading a lot about how stress affect ovulation and so I have been staying really calm. So calm to the point that when DH comes at me and I can tell there is a problem….. I put my hand up and start spouting that mantra of stress means no egg so leave me alone and handle it. I really don’t think he likes this but oh well, he will get over it.

Well last night there was quite a bit of stress that I could not avoid, you see my 27 year-old sister who has been blessed with beautiful girls (2) was admitted to the hospital. Without going into a long post (which I need to do because she deserves it) (I love you sissy)she has some severe residual lung conditions from when she aspirated a crayon when she was 15 months old. Well she was vomiting blood and so they admitted her. Well this of course sets me into a tail spin. (we are still awaiting the test results in the morning). When I got home this evening I sat on the toilet and cried. I was so distraught. Again, I will wait to post. I POAS and there was not a second pink line. So here I am thinking about it and thinking that stress really does affect this. I will have to wait for in the morning. No temp drip yet 97.2

Day 13

OMG what a night. I have caught a bug. I have been up and down all night. I really want to be at the hospital this morning but do to being too sick, I can’t go. I am at work with a bucket next to me just in case. Nothing is helping. Anyway, I took a deep breath (and Tylenol PM) and when I awoke for the 5th time this morning, I OPK’d and there was my line again, I am praying that this will come on and happen. I need, need, need to ovulate closer than cd21 and today is cd 13. hmmmmm fingers crossed that tonight I will get a positive on the OPK.
Sister post tomorrow after I know she is okay, I promise. Thank you for the prayers.
Here is my chart so far.....

Keeping my fingers crossed that you O soon. We are in the same boat. I buy the Answer dip sticks 20 for $21 better than 7 sticks for $15-$17.

I hope your sister is doing better and that you will O soon. I have always only used the internet cheapy OPKs or the Answer strips like the other commenter. Much cheaper!
