CD 20: 5dpo

So, according to SMEPing (start doing it cd 8, then ever other day until you get a + OPK, the three days straight, skip a day, one more day) I have to wait until 15 days after my first ovulation test positive to test.  Do you count that first positive as day 1 or day 0?  If it's day 1, then FF's test date would be 15 days...if it's day 0, I should wait until Friday to test.  I'm thinking Friday would be better, since it's mid-winter break and I won't have school.  

Alas, I am NOT a patient person.  Patience is a virtue I have not been blessed with.  Compassion? Yes. Perseverance? Sure.  Hope? Yup.  Patience? Big Fat No.  So saying I will wait until Friday and actually waiting until Friday are two different things.  I think I've actually decided in my mind that my internet cheapies are not real tests, anyway, so they don't count.  Two cycles ago I used internet cheapies and OPKs (cuz they'll turn positive, too, if your pregnant - Amy, if you don't believe me, try peeing on one!  We all know you're NOT ovulating right now!) to get me through, and didn't take my first REAL test until my test date.  Last cycle I used $ store tests and got real-looking evaps at 9, 10, and 11 dpo and got my period at 12 dpo, two days before my test date (FF has since adjusted my test date to be 13 dpo).  Soooo....  either the $ stores don't work for me (which they ALWAYS did before) or there was a bad batch of them at the $ store by work.  Maybe they froze in the truck during delivery or something.  I've never had an evap on an internet test, though.  

Soooo...I will wait to Friday to pee on a real pregnancy test.  If I get the urge to pee on something, I'll pee on an OPK, since that's not a REAL test anyway...Maybe I need to cut strips of computer paper out and start peeing on them...maybe that would satisfy the urge, too!
