I’m not a big pee-er. I used to know this girl that believed that you should never hold your bladder for more than 2 minutes. She was convinced that it weakened your muscles and would lead to incontinence when you were older. This meant wherever we were a street, a field – she would pee. But me, not a frequenter of the bathroom.
Today I’ve been 7 times. This is my body’s way of messing with me. All this does is send me scurrying to the pregnancy books and websites trying to verify that this is in fact an early sign…
I think I’m Lucky. My luteal phase is only 12 days long… so next wednesday… we should know. I hate the anxiety.

I totally get this. I’m not a big pee-er either. Until I began TTC. And then, of course, right around testing time, I can’t stop myself….I’m peeing every 5 minutes.
…I am starting to think I’m a bit bonkers. LOL

alli can tell you is what i know. the day your temp rises after a positive OPK indicates you ovulated. Most people get their period 12-16 days after that. So you are probably only 8 days past ovulation. Most docs will tell you to wait 14 days before taking a home pregnancy test. Implantation (when you start producing the pregnancy hormones) occurs between 7DPO and 12DPO. It takes two days after implantation before it might show up on a test. All of the above is said with the caveat that this is how is it supposed to work. Test again on the 18th. But thats just my two cents.
