I'm going slightly mad

Eighteen consecutive high temperatures.

Four days late.

Four tests.

One line.

Are you surprised I am going mad?

Rats! Give it another couple of days before you take another test.

Yes, do give it another couple of days, as Pez said.

Some tests are so sensitive, Mouse, they can sense the HcG chemical, but others can't. I know this last time, I tested and got the faintest second line. The kind where I kind of divert my eyes and see it, but if I stare at it too hard, then I wonder if it's really there.

Then I tested a few days later, quite impatiently, I must admit, and the line was quite a bit darker -- no questions.

I can't remember -- when are you going to start Clomid? Or are you going to? And must you question whether we wonder about your one-line madness? ;-)

I think I am going to give myself a spanking if I forget to put my name in the name box one more time.

I've tried five tests, and three brands. All purported to be sensitive.

So:

1. Hook effect (produces so much hcg the test cannot pick it up).
2. Lucky woman who doesn't excrete hcg but is in fact with child.
3. Luteal cyst.
4. Didn't actually ovulate.
5. Ovulated late (despite my chart) and am not late.
6. Freak of nature.

Who is betting on what? I take number 3.
