Good morning!
Last night I was so sure everything would come crashing down today – temps, resting heart rate, breathing rate – everything.
Lo and behold, they’ve all gone up, which means they’ll all be crashing down tomorrow instead!
I said I’d test if my parameters stayed or went up, but I’m a little pussy who doesn’t believe she can get pregnant so it probably won’t happen.
My breasts still aren’t tender. Only my left nipple was sore yesterday and it was sending a horrible ache through my left breast, but today it feels fine.
I’m convinced that I probably am not pregnant and it’s the acupuncture that has changed things this cycle. My theory is that it balanced my hormones so well that my luteal phase is much longer and resting heart rate much higher – that can be the only explanation.
When I was on progesterone pessaries many cycles back, my temps stayed elevated until 12DPO, so that’s probably what will happen this cycle too.
I slept like shit from the anxiety but I guess testing negative is the only thing that’ll put my mind to rest. Good thing I’m probably a masochist, I’m going to torture myself to insomnia.
Oh, and get this! My estimated due date this cycle is 2 years exactly from the cycle we started trying to conceive. Literally my first trying to conceive cycle started on 7th October 2020 and if I’m pregnant, my baby will be due 7th October 2022. The thought of that actually made me a bit teary.
