OK, so here we are on cycle 59. AF is due on Feb 4. I O'd on Jan 23. 1 week later at 7dpo I had spotting... enough that I thought AF was going to show early. Nothing since. Today bouts of nausea on and off all day. I only have 2 tests..... one $ test and one answer. I had quite a few extra OPK's though, so I have been testing with them. I know that I o'd on the 23rd, so is there any reason why OPK's would be getting darker days before AF (other than a pregnancy)? I am trying to think positive, but also not wanting to get my hopes up either.
What do you thing? Should I be getting excited or is this just a fluke thing?
UPDATE: pics of $ test added to post #11

I think there's a very good chance your pregnant...In one of the video's on youtube I watched the other day, she took an OPK and it was positive, then she took a pregnancy test and it was!! I have been taking OPK's and they are negative, so I don't think it works for everyone...when will you take an HPT?

I'm not sure. Possibly a $ test tomorrow. I might wait one more day though. IF it is a BFP I am going to want to get to the store and verify it right away and since we are snowed in (and probably will be for another day or two) I might hold off.

No, unfortunately I don't have any right at the moment. I will try to get pictures tomorrow when I have better light. The lighting in my house isn't great and my cameras micro function doesn't work so great (thanks to being dropped a few dozen times).

I did end up POAS today. Just a $ test. I think its BFN, but IDK. There might be the faintest of a line there, but it might also just be that I can see where the line should be. Since I am convinced that I just have lines on my eyeballs, I figured I would just post them here for you to obsess over with me.
I'm only 10dpo, so it could just be too early as well.

Feel free to play with these on your own and see if you can coax a line out on it. lol

*if* I have classes tomorrow I will pick up a couple better tests at WalMart. I'm not really a fan of the $ tests either, but they are cheap and I needed to pee on something. lol

Possibly tomorrow. I might wait until Friday thought. Mostly depends on how long we are snowed in! lol I can probably get into town, but all they have there is a $ store and I took the last test they had until Friday.

Thanks Katie. I hope so too. If I am pregnant, I would be due on my Dad's birthday, so that would make it that much more special.
I don't know if it's that I am pregnant and it's morning sickness, or if I am getting sick, but I have been so nauseated all day. Personally, I hope this is going to last for 2 or 3 more months though. lol
