I've never seen a positive before! Actually, I probably have, but I didn't realize it with the cheaper tests I had been using. My doctor was right, getting the clear blue digital tests was worth it (and not that much more expensive on Amazon, actually). I was beginning to suspect that I was annovulatory, and I had even started researching it yesterday online. I know a positive OPK doesn't necessarily mean ovulation will occur, but I'm trying to be positive. I believe this is likely my first real ovulation since the surgery, and I'm kind of feeling hopeful. I'm really hoping it happens this time around, partly because if it doesn't, I'll be getting my period right at New Year's, when I will be up in the mountains attempting to enjoy snow sports (which I will absolutely enjoy, although my period will make them less enjoyable).
Anyway! I guess that means I'm officially entering the two-week-wait right now? Or in another day or two? And that my luteal phase isn't ridiculously short, and the very first doctor I saw about this (who was a resident) was completely wrong when she looked at my BBT charts and told me I ovulate on CD 25. I have been trying to cut back on alcohol, but I will probably have a few glasses of wine over Christmas. And if I'm going to get my period, I would prefer to get it on New Year's Eve so that I'll know if I can drink champagne to my heart's content that evening.
Oh, speaking of knowing things... I need to have bloodwork done 2-7 days before my surgery, and the bloodwork includes a pregnancy test. That means I can get it done as early as December 30th, which will be 12 days after my positive OPK. Is that too early for a pregnancy to show up? Otherwise, I would probably have to wait until January 4th, which means I could possibly be drinking on New Year's Eve while unknowingly pregnant, although I could maybe squeeze in a trip to the lab on the 31st before we leave for the mountains. I could do a HPT on the 30th and then try to decide what to do. Thoughts anyone?
