I'm still being patient, sort of

Ok, so I still haven't peed on a stick. But Chelle, don't worry, I will help you remember that little line about just throwing that stick in the garbage. I laughed so hard at that. Very funny. I still may test on Valentines day at which point I will be somewhere between 10 and 11 dpo. Not exactly sure where. I usually hate Valentines day. Nothing like a national holiday to remind me that I'm still single, and no one is sending me cute cards. So, I could test and get a BFP (unlikely I know) and decide Valentines day isn't so bad. Or I could get a BFN (more likely since it's still pretty early) and have another reason to dislike the holiday. Or I could just skip it and wait for like Friday or Saturday. I don't know if my patience can hold out that long. Still not resting well. I don't know why, I just can't. I woke up today after 4 hours and was totally wide awake and wired. Of course I will likely crash early tonight and then be totally off my sleep schedule for work tomorrow. I did sleep very well yesterday though. It was sort of in shifts which I think I wrote about in my last post but slept really hard while I was asleep. The first time I slept 4 hours and at some point my cat came and crawled under the covers with me and I never noticed it. Then the second time, I slept 3 hours and about an hour after I went to sleep my alarm clock would have went off (I had forgotten to turn it off) and I have NO recollection of turning it off at all. I woke up 2 hours after it would have went off and the music was off (I listen to quiet instrumental stuff to block out noises) and I wondered about that, then late last night, I realized my alarm was still on and I couldn't figure out why I didn't remember it going off. I must not have actually woke up long enough to remember. I'm not taking a medication that I usually take that helps me sleep so I don't know if that is the reason why I'm not sleeping or what. I still get super tired though. As far as symptoms go, I can't decide if I'm discouraged or not. I still don't really have any nausea, my boobs aren't particularly sore unless I poke at them. I'm peeing a lot but it seems fairly early for that symptom. The big and only thing I've had that could be a symptom could also be my imagination or my mind playing tricks on me. I get sort of dizzy. It usually starts off with me feeling too warm, happened twice at Walmart and Costco today. It seemed warm in the store and I was wearing a light weight jacket and all of the sudden, I just felt super warm and sort of light headed and like I needed fresh cold air immediately. I have had this several other times in the last few days (the first time was too soon I think for it to be a symptom). Food does seem to help with this as does cool air. I've also seemed hungry a lot lately. I woke up twice yesterday just starving and couldn't go back to sleep until I had eaten. I don't usually wake up hungry but then maybe because I'm trying to eat healthier, I'm eating less and therefore my body actually has a chance to get hungry. But it doesn't feel like I'm eating less. Better maybe but not less. I want so bad to think these are symptoms and to let myself thing that I might be pregnant but I'm scared to. I am trying really hard to just not think through the whole "I might be pregnant thought".

Hahahaha... You're doing great! If you do decide to test on Wednesday, remember this other little pearl, "A BFP at 11 DPO would be a rare and wonderful thing! A BFN on 11 DPO doesn't mean anything... except maybe a chance to test again..." You can quote me on that. :) The little symptoms, or lack of symptoms... it's so hard to read, and it can really make you loony! I hope like heck you start getting some blessed waves of nausea or some other tell-tale sign (seeings as you'll have to wait a couple more days for a BFP)! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!! And Happy Valentine's Day!!!
