Boob-O-Meter not cooperating!

10 dpo today and my boob-o-meter is telling me I'm not preggo. I woke up yesterday with smaller bbs and not nearly as sore anymore. Booooo! That to me means that my progesterone has already peaked and is now going downhill. This also tells me that no implantation has occurred.

I know I can't rely on my boob-o-meter for everything, but it's pretty damn accurate. Remember last week, when my RE nurse said I hadn't ovulated, but my boob-o-meter said I had? Well, I don't think I have to remind you who was right.

I had a tiny little breakdown on my hubby yesterday, crying "I know I'm not pregnant, because my boobs are getting smaller. I know my body, and it's telling me I'm not! Waaaaah" Soooooo dramatic I know. Thank God I am married to the world's best husband. He always says the right thing and helps me feel less hopeless almost instantly. I don't think he ever bargained for being married to a Gemini on fertility meds, but he's handled it the same way he handles everything in life, with pinache.

I took a pregnancy test this morning, mostly because I had acupuncture this afternoon. If it were +, my acu would definitely need to know that, but it was -. However, our session was awesome as usual, and she continued working on points that would facilitate implantation and relaxation in general. I always feel like I just took a xanax when I leave there. Oh. So. Relaxing. 

Granted, it is possible that implantation could occur still, thus causing my progesterone to surge again and my boob-o-meter to go back up, so just trying to stay optimistic here. Plus, I will never totally believe any symptoms while taking fertility meds. It just whacks your body out so much, that I always keep that in the back of my mind while noticing certain symptoms or lack thereof. This is one cycle where I need to just wait, at least until 14dpo, before I count myself out. So just waiting, waiting, waiting...

Like hubby always says, we'll need to name our daughter Patience, because that's the only way I'll ever get any!

    Good luck! Your not out yet! The positive thing is that you ovulated!Had a great response and had a great lining. All good things.

    1. Yeah, maybe I should remind hubby of that. With our luck our daughter would turn out the same way. Fiery is not what we're going for! haha!

    1. Glad I'm not the only one who puts so much stock in the boob-o-meter.

      Hurting boobs = happy & hopeful

  4. I love how we are 2dpo apart, lol. My boobs have been sore for a couple of days now but they never get unbearably sore. They are not reliable for me since I never use to get sore boobs before TTC. Then about 5 months into the process they just started to. Each month feels so different. Don't count yourself out because of "symptoms". You never what your pregnancy symptoms are going to be. Maybe you won't have sore boobs as a symptom! Lots of Baby dust to you! xoxox

  5. I've enjoyed your blog! Our stories are very similar and I find comfort in reading about your journey. I found the blog through babycenter.com. I've been blogging myself recently (livingthegreenlife.tumblr.com) but haven't had the courage to talk about my infertility issues. Maybe someday as I am sure it helps tremendously! I wish you luck. :)
