My Lady of the Lantern

Having read non-gravid enough on my file, this is huge for me!!! --- I planned to test y'day...but I woke up an hour before I was bound to get up, relieved myself and went back to sleep. When I woke up, I was not wanting to bet my luck on non-optimal contents. So, the testing fell on today...I woke up earlier than usual. I walked over to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door and took out the lone HPT that now remained there. I went to the bathroom. Let me tell you, when you want to pee, and you have to pee and you have to save up for testing too, it is tough. I managed to do that and stared with neutral emotions on the HPT window. The line started to emerge...it was the line that is doused with whatever, so I have seen it red anyways. I decided to go back to sleep. But wait, the other line was definitely colouring up! Are you nuts, you never colour...you remain virgin white...whoa, there is colour... I was stupid enough to look at the results detail printed on the HPT packet......

I am chortling like a maniac here... ^WiseGuy^

I kept on wondering if I should post it or not...but then I decided that since this space is meant to document , well, I should write it down and all. I am pretty close to ending this cycle. I am normally a 33-day cycle girl, and for the past few cycles, my AF has arrived around CD31. I still don't feel like it is on its way. So this one cycle could be correcting back the pre-pone gene in all the three cycles that have whizzed past. On the other hand, my nipples are sensitive to touch and I had mild cramping a few days back. Atleast one part of this cycle is like the January one....but the difference is that I had taken Clomid then and was on progesterone in the latter half of the cycle. This cycle, I have neither been on Clomid nor have I taken any progesterone pills. Please hope for me, but don't leave me words that you believe I am pregnant or so. I can have all the symptoms and not one thing that comes out of it. There is now just one unopened strip of HPT remaining in my r...

Q: How many brunettes does it take to change a light bulb? I plan to POAS on either 22nd or 23rd . I strongly contemplated whether I should whisper my plans so loudly lest I jinx my chances, but I know that if it has to happen it will, and if it does not have to happen, nothing will make it fall in place. So here it is, my royal plan for the whole universe to know. And I am glad that I will be away on the weekend for a short trip to J, because that will leave me with little time to ponder over the impending event. I found the navel scar of my laparoscopy irritated. I kind of scraped the peeling skin with a nail, and it just got worse. I have sloshed my navel with Aloe Vera lotion. My belly button is spouting aloe vera. A strange situation befell me today evening. I was at a chemist’s buying myself a couple of HPTs, and one of the brands he gave me read – Unwanted . The other brand is my usual – Makesure . I actually bought one Makesure and one Unwanted . The latter was cheaper. And be...

If a HPT can't capture any traces of HCG at 21 dpo, I guess I am really looking for the sky to part and heaven to fall through. No way! Guess the verdict is set in stone now. I am NOT pregnant. I had a little hope jutting out of a dry root, having not had a run-in with Aafra Faafra yet. I guess I have to start humming 'Have a Happy Period' soon. Something's got to give! I bought two HPTS last evening and decided to test on Tuesday morning. Falling asleep was not tough, but sometime in the wee hours, I was awake, totally thinking of the HPT, wanting to urgently pee. I twisted and turned. Once I woke up, I walked up to the refrigerator, got scissors and opened the packet, turned on the light in the bathroom and settled down to relieve myself. I dropped two drops in the well, and saw the panel with as much focus as my roused-from-sleep eyes could muster. T line remained as white as it was manufactured. C was rattled and turned bright red in anger. My heart sunk. I peered...

I plan on buying HPTs on my way back home today....not that I expect being pregnant right now...but I am really taunting the Missy to come crashing... I am not expecting AF today...rather, it is in a day or two that she would be banging my doors, which is the right time to buy HPTs. On other days, I am scared of purchasing pee-sticks for the fear of tempting the fates....but at the footsteps of AF or during AF is a safe enough time...right? ^WiseGuy^ Image Courtesy: http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/funny-pictures-you-must-answer-riddles-to-pee.jpg

I had a backache yesterday evening.... I should have known. I have been 'late' before.... I should have known. I did not want to refer to the periods, talking to my mother, but I did.... I should have known. I had sex just once, this entire cycle.... I should have known. I jinxed myself just thinking of a 'maybe' miracle.... I should have known. I used up a HPT today morning, and had blood coming out of me, before the 5 minutes on check-test-results were over.... I should have known. My cool composure is fragile.... I should have known. ^WiseGuy^
