Broken record at 7DPO

Well I feel like I have loooads that I want to write here today! :) I've had a couple of neutral-ish days with not much to report (despite the long entry I managed to waffle out last night, haha!).

Well I'm 7DPO at fully aware that I sound like a broken record and also risk mucho sheepishness (if I'm wrong, that is) when I say I am completely totally and absolutely 100% SURE that I am pregnant.

* My temp is flat! It's the same as yesterday's - up there at 36.8 after that huge spike from the previous flatish temps.

* There is static electricity in my n*pples (gross Googlers). Not continually, but several times today and sometimes going on for a while. Nevvvver ever get that unless in early pregnancy. Nevvver.

* Having some teensy ligament pains and pulls out to my left hip area today, here and there.

* Definitely needing to wee more frequently today. Not crazy loads, but a noticable increase for me, and I'm actually (naughtily!) not drinking enough fluids as well.

* The boys had an early tea tonight so after they went to bed we indulged in a treat and ordered Dominos Pizza! Yum!! I sank my teeth into that first slice going, "Mmmmm, mmmmm!" like usual, but before I got to the end of the first slice I put it down and just sat staring at it. Neil asked what was wrong, and I said, "I don't know if I can eat it." He asked what was wrong with it, and there was NOTHING wrong with the pizza, and I wanted to eat it! But I could not put my finger on why - I just didn't think I could stomach it. I felt ever so slightly gaggy trying to eat it. Even though I knew I liked it. I tried eating some more and very quickly felt sick and yucky and bloated and gassy(er than usual! Still having issues with that symptom!). Now it's nearly 3 hours later and I still haven't eaten it! I tried again after an hour when I felt less queasy but my tummy just doesn't want it and I felt yucky again. Now, I'm perfectly healthy and happily ate some nibbles leading up to the pizza. Have not been anywhere to catch anything viral, nor have the boys. It's just WEIRD for me.

Or IS it?! ;) Quote from my pregnancy diary at 11DPO in Arthur's pregnancy that I searched for just now:

"Yesterday I did a weird thing. My mummy has these liquorice and aniseed sweets which I LOVE. She offered me one and I thought hmmm, I don't know if I can eat that. I mean, literally. I took one but the idea of eating it made me feel gaggy, so I smelt it in it's wrapper and had to say no and hand it back. Weird."

* I have felt gaggy at several things today, just mildly. Smells in the kitchen sink - blech. A boy's hand that he had been chewing and it smelled saliva-y. The sound of a slightly productive cough. Benjamin's not-actually-all-that-offensive pooey nappy. Melted butter (sight and smell). All those things have made my throat constrict a bit and my tummy feel tense and yucky. Yeurgh. I am SURE I am pregnant with this one!

* My mouth has been watering all evening, just along with the yucky feeling in my tummy.

What else? Very little CM today, in contrast to the previous days! Not charting weepy or increased appetite today because those are suddenly not really there! I'm not horribly irritable either today, which is a relief! I do have a hearty appetite today, but just not intensely hungry enough to chart increased appetite, so I haven't. Backache is there as usual but I think it's better than it has been for quite a while, today. Also I'm mildly crampy today, on and off, all day. I am noticably crampy when I'm breastfeeding, which I have noted in previous pregnant luteal phases, but it's still only mild cramping. No other twinges to report today! ;)

Benjamin just woke up for a feed and I have lost my train of thought! So I'll stop for now. It's getting late anyway.

Tomorrow if my temp stays up in the high range (above 36.5 or so) my chart will be triphasic. Okay, so Fertility Friend will not acknowledge it as triphasic because the 2nd phase of high temps will have occurred outside of their "expected" window based on the average implantation window (7-10DPO), and not MY average implantation window (4-7DPO), which is annoying!!!! But for that reason I will call it triphasic even when they don't, because it WILL be! Now, a triphasic chart can and does occur in ovulatory (non-pregnancy) cycles, but it's known to be a good indicator for pregnancy when it occurs. In my case, it's a VERY good indicator for pregnancy, especially with the rise to the third level of temps being so dramatic. Flat temps for me are also a very good pregnancy indicator, although they can occur at other times, just rarely for me.

So I will be 8DPO tomorrow, and hopefully not anywhere near expecting a period to possibly arrive yet (would wonder about that around 10DPO). 8DPO is "way too early for testing", but you KNOW I am going to pee on a stick tomorrow morning if my temp is still up and my chart is triphasic. I fully expect it to be up anyway because I don't expect my period yet. But a triphasic chart (IF it is tomorrow) and these symptoms today.... I will definitely be testing. I don't care if it's too early and I get a clear negative result! I still want to test!!! I have a pack of 10 tests and I'm not scared to use them, haha! ;)

Soooo I will update tomorrow - hopefully in the morning, with a photo of my negative test result, hahaha! ;)

I'm very excited people! :D

Does it show?! ;)
