"Shut Up Brain....

...or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

My brain won't STFU. I swear, the closer July gets, the crazier I get. I'm 9 dpo. My temp spiked this morning about half a degree and higher than it has been before (or at least in the 3 cycles since I started charting). This has been the conversation in my head all day:

Brain: "Well, you COULD be."

Me: "NO! I really couldn't be! Yes, there is a tiny possibility - we did have sex 1 day prior to O, but, we used a condom (the right way, not the 'I'm 16 and stupid' way), so shutthefuckup brain!"

Brain: "But...tomorrow is your birthday, you would be 10 dpo, it's possible, and how cool would a BFP on your birthday be?"

Me: "My date of birth has nothing to do with a positive poas. Again, shutthefuckup."

Dammit! I swore to myself that throughout this I wasn't going to poas early. And certainly wasn't going to poas at all before July.

But my resistance is crumbling. I think if my temp is still high tomorrow I'm going to cave. I can't believe I am such a wuss.
