OPK as HPT? Got 2 Super Dark Tests

[SueGre]

It's 12:15 a.m. here in Boston and for the 3rd night in a row I can't sleep. Before we got into bed, I decided to do an OPK as an HPT since I have the tube of 20 and a whole bunch left over. It came out super dark within a couple of minutes, so I did another one and same thing. Then I decided to do a FRER HPT and it came out negative, not even a hint of a line. Tomorrow is 12 dpo and I got a positive on 12 dpo last year. I can't help but think the OPK's must be right because they were so dark. They weren't pink, they were plum red.

I'll let you know what happens in the morning.

Sue - 12DPO can definitely still be too early, especially if you implanted late!!  Hang in there...like Latrice said...it's not over until AF shows!  ;)  I had to be gone all day yesterday (instead of usually staying at home with my laptop at hand!) and one of my thoughts was "OMG, I'm going to miss Sue's news!!"  ;)  I barely know you and yet a BFP for you would bring me happiness too!!!  SSBD!

Its not over until AF shows Sue, im glad you were able to keep busy and not break down. My fingers are crossed that its a BFP waiting.

Thanks for the support, girls! I really really appreciate it so much! I'm bummed about the info on using an OPK as an HPT, but appreciate the info nonetheless.

Today's FRER was negative. I reacted with disbelief and somehow did not break down and sob. I decided very quickly that I needed to stay positive and not feel completely distraught. I had a ton of house cleaning to do (my parents are coming into town next week) so I couldn't break down or I wouldn't be able to get anything done all day. And I just didn't want to feel that utter devastation and go through that kind of sadness even if only for the day. So, I got everything done that I could today, took a much needed 2 hour nap, and went for a "family walk" with the dog. It was overall a really good day.

I'm still really dizzy and think it is either a sinus infection or allergies. I have to check weather.com to see if any allergens are really high right now. I think it may be one of those because I also have had daily headaches and fleeting nausea throughout the day.

Rachel: I really appreciate you mentioning that it could still be too early and that each pregnancy is different. You are totally right and I am holding out hope. Is 12 dpo really that early? I didn't think it was...

I still have yellow globby cm and that's the one symptom that has been consistent for the last 12 days and had me thinking. I just realized that I've had no cramping today. This is the first day I haven't had any cramps in about 10 days.

So on to tomorrow. A new day. A new test. Maybe a new result. Maybe not.

Love, Hugs & Appreciation,

~Sue

Hey Sue,

Don't throw in the towel yet!  You still have time! I know you are anxious, but I recommend that you wait to test until you are late.  Just because you got a positive that early last time does not mean you will get one that early this time.....remember every pregnacy is different.

I am still holding out for the good news!!!!
