How to Revel in a Phantom Pregnancy

November 28, 2013

Dear Diary,

I just realized that my periods are due today. I took my supplies out, and stocked my purse with the tampons and pads.

Dear Diary,

Two days up is nothing, right?

Dear Diary,

I have a lingering bad taste in my mouth, highly unusual. And there is a disturbance in my bowel movements. 

I purchased a HPT on the way home, and could hardly wait to pee. 

I peed, and there was a bright shiny single line.

It's normal to keep checking the darned thing every few minutes to see if there be another line, right? I mean they have not designed the thing to shine only when held at a certain angle, right?

Still checking.

Dear Diary,

Miraculously, there is no second line that has sprung up overnight. 

My mouth on the other hand still has a bitter taste.

Dear Diary,

I chewed mints through the day. I noticed that I had heartburn too.

Hmmm....the witch is away, and I feel fatigued. Umm...hmmm.

Dear Diary,

I just clocked a first today. I tested while at office. It's the same.

My bad taste has disappeared, but I have heartburn.

I had a blood draw in the evening for a beta test. Two negative pregnancy tests can just be a rare coincidence, right? Or the hcg level is too low for the tests. 

But I am already prepping myself for a negative test. I mean I would be shocked more to see some value come up there.

Dear Diary,

The witch is away. I went to collect the report in the evening. I had held-in my mind firmly till the point of showing the receipt and asking for the report, but I could just not stop myself from peering when the lady was printing my results. Thankfully, I could not see it when the paper was spewed from the printer.

It is negative. For a few perceptible seconds, I can feel the warmth on my face. I feel my fingertips are a little colder than from a few seconds ago. It's nice my heartburn went away yesterday.

I pray and I pray that my periods come soon so that I would not be be CD1 or CD2 when I am travelling alone with Figlia.

Dear Diary,

The witch came today morning. 

Rise and Shine, it is CD1.

Which means, Ladies and Gentlemen, tomorrow will be CD2 - the devil day of my periods, and I will be travelling.

    I hope this is the last of the single lined htp you ever get. Blast those things...
    Hugs. And bon courage for the trip. You will have loads of story to tell, I am sure.

  4. Oh no! That SUCKS. As if you weren't dreading the travel enough already!

    Here's me hoping that things go much better than you're imagining they will. Much luck.
