We had dinner with some friends last night...which was interesting because we are not telling a lot of people we know that we are actively trying AS WE SPEAK! They offered us champagne to toast a recent accomplishment....and through both KB and my heads...went the following:
"Crap...I can't refuse it...that would be extremely rude...but what if we are pregnant...we could hurt the baby...it's a good thing there is not chance in hell that we actually are pregnant...but we might be...although we haven't felt symptoms for days....but maybe it's too early to tell...there is absolutely no way that we are pregnant--we'd feel it if we were...but all the same...we don't want to harm the possible baby in order to be polite..." and on and on and on.
In the end, KB took a half glass of champagne and pretended to drink it...maybe had one sip. I of course, being on an emotional rollercoaster these past several days decided that this was a great opportunity to calm the nerves. Hell...if KB might be eating for two soon...I might be drinking for two...at least at social gatherings! :)
So yesterday afternoon, KB felt a weird cramp in her uterus that she had never felt before. We are hoping...and being painfully optimistic...that this could be implantation. Today is 9dpo. Nothing major to report...other than the weird cramp yesterday, some light boob soreness, and some moodiness/emotional stuff...but hell...that could be a side-effect of merely being on this roller-coaster. We gave in this morning and POAS. Negative...what did we expect. We are thinking that we might switch brands to a more sensitive test and try again on either sunday or monday which will be 11/12dpo...we'll see if we can make it that far! Good thing we have a lot of fun things to do this weekend to keep ourselves occupied...although at least one of those activities involves a toddler...ugghhh.
We're hoping for a "magical baby" soon. And the story on that is that if we have a positive this month, the baby is magical...because the cubs have won every game (including the first no-hitter in decades) since the baby's likely conception. So it is magical. And if the cubs should happen to have a bad day...then the baby becomes un-magical...and is just an average baby...which we are fine with too. :)

This stuff can really drive a person crazy. Hang in there and I hope it happens for you both soon. Try not to keep testing so early...there's no way a test of 7 or 9 DPO is going to show up as positive and those white spaces can be very disheartening.
Keep in mind that Clomid can produce pregnancy-like symptoms. Also, just TTC can cause symptoms. The first two times my wife was inseminated (we didn't use any drugs), she had tons of pregnancy symptoms only to lead to negatives. I was blown away- how could that possibly happen? It's a strange phenomenon.
Anyway, hoping for you girls. Hang in there!
