Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera was one of the shows that our orchestra performed when I was in high school. We performed all of the musical selections complete with smoke, light effects, and sound effects. It was awesome! But today I am beginning to have another type of phantom episode plaguing me. It is my phantom pregnancy symptoms. I have come to the conclusion that I am in fact 6 DPO today and that was all thanks to my handy dandy ovulation calendar/calculator. It told me that I did in fact O on 11/12 and that places me at 6 days past ovulation. Hip hip hooray!

It's funny that these symptoms are much like my performance in high school, especially the smoke screen. I feel like the symptoms are making it very hard to visualize the reality that I probably am not pregnant this month. They throw up this screen that makes you believe that what you are experiencing is in fact real...even though they are the same symptoms you have experienced before in other non pregnant cycles.

Just for your entertainment pleasure I will report that I have began experiencing cramping, frequent urination, and my breasts are becoming tender. But, aren't these the same symptoms you experience every month? Yes, yes they are except for last month in which I had no symptoms at all whatsoever and still ended up with a negative. So while I will always remember that magical performance from my high school days I wish to lock away the phantom forever and proudly sing to the world that I am finally pregnant...I hope that I am able to have my own performance soon!
