So So Weak...

First thing this morning, KB informs me that she hasn't peed in 12 hours, and today is 12dpo. We told ourselves we wouldn't test until 15dpo because most people don't get accurate results when they test early. We told ourselves we'd be strong. But we broke-down. And we tested. And the universe scolded us. The test was a dud. The control line did not even show up until 10 minutes after the test was initiated. So, while according to the test, we aren't pregnant yet...we can't put much stock in that test anyway...it wasn't working properly. And now my emotions are all over the place. Regardless of whether that negative mark was false or not...I wasn't prepared to see it. This is what we get for testing early. Lesson learned. No more testing until Sunday. And if we still get a negative on 15dpo, we will wait till 17dpo (tuesday) just to be sure and then we will discontinue the prometrium and let the period begin.

The hard thing is that Clomid has been known to mess with dw's cycles. So, while normally, she would have her period at cd26 (14dpo), we have had some cycles where it did not come until a week later (21dpo). What if she implanted late and there is just not enough hormone for HPT's to detect? I really don't want to discontinue the prometrium and miscarry something that might be there. And the freak out continues...

Tell me more about this unemployment thing. If she's not finished working until July 1, can she file in advance?
