Symptoms?

Today is 14dpo. We have been symptom free...until last night. KB has been uber-thirsty...we are talking like maybe a gallon of water yesterday. And a ton of very clear very watery discharge...which our OBGYN mother/mother-in-love told us is likely to be pregnancy hormones! Yay! Let's hope!

Other than that...nothing...which is interesting, because KB typically has very clear period symptoms approximately 3-4 days before her period...which is due tomorrow...and we have nothin...no moodiness...no sore boobs...no extreme fatigue...and no crying about our cat being misplaced from her home because of our dog who apparently terrorizes her at every chance he can get...which is strange because this happens like clock-work every month.

Given the absence of period symptoms, and a few potential pregnancy symptoms (although everything is a potential pregnancy symptom...who are we kidding?)...we broke down this morning and took a pregnancy test. It was negative.

But, it is still one day before her period is due, and it is not an early pregnancy test, it is the kind they use at the OBGYN's office...which is not uber-sensitive to hormones...you gotta have a lot of those suckers raging through your body before it will detect it. And KB drank a gallon of water yesterday, which may have diluted the hormone somewhat. So it is still too early to tell...and we are still okay and not freaking out...and fine with whatever happens.

On that positive note...we have some news. One of KB's best friend's just gave birth to twins, after a long ttc journey full of miscarriages and IVF. So today we welcome, Lucille (Lucy) and Cassidy into the world. And now we have to go with one of our back-up names for a girl, because our first pick has been Lucy for about 3 months now. so sad...good thing we have some other fantastic names!
