Second trip to triage

I went to triage again today because after my nap this morning, I was doing kick counts and didn't feel her move at all. I tried all the tricks, including a shower. Nothing.
B was at work, so after I spoke with the doctor's office, I called our friend to see if she could drop me off at the hospital. She stayed with me until B arrived.
They did an NST (where Nuggette was asleep for 36 minutes, therefore did not pass until the very end), and then did a biophysical. This was my first biophysical and she passed that within the first 10 minutes. She had movement and practice breathing. My fluid levels were right in range and the CNM estimated that she is about 7 lbs 13 oz. Then came the cervical check and everything is still the same, including my posterior cervix, which makes these checks quite delightful < / sarcasm >.
After about 2 hours, we were on our way home. For a minute they considered keeping me and starting the induction early, but doc said to send me home. We will be back in 2 days on Sunday night.

NST was normal

No reason to keep me at the hospital last night after my weekly NST. Of course she was asleep for the first 10 minutes, but after she woke up, she passed with flying colors. I only had one contraction during the entire test...and a BH at that.
Clearly I must have a very hospitable womb, because she's not really showing any signs of wanting to leave! 4 days until induction.

No real changes

Except now Nuggette is at a -1 or -2 station. The doctor doesn't think I will make it until induction day. We will see.....

Hoping...

I have a doctor's appointment today and I am not so secretly hoping that I am dilated far enough that they send me straight to the hospital to have this baby.
Yesterday we had a glorious day, weather-wise, with highs in the 80s. It was wonderful to be able to eat on our patio and soak up some sun. We even went for a pre-dusk walk around the neighborhood. It did make sleeping quite difficult. I was so hot. Even with two fans, no covers and limited clothes, I could not get comfortable. I am so happy to not be pregnant during the summer, I am pretty sure I would be miserable.
Should we be sent to the hospital, or when labor/delivery occurs, our good friend, *, will be our substitute blogger. She's awesome. (And because I have forgotton to ask her what she wants to be known as on our blog, her name is now an asterick....kinda like Prince).
Induction date is 6 days away.

Still no baby

Dilation, effacement, losing your mucus plug, and fake contractions are no indication of when you will go into labor, in case you were wondering.
I'm still here, pregnant as ever.
I've started to get the daily texts/emails/facebook messages..."Still pregnant?"
Yep.
Last night the BH contractions were coming every minute or so. We thought "maybe?" real labor would start. No such luck. Once I laid down for bed, they stopped.
She's just not ready to come out and meet the world.
At least I have an end date in sight. If she doesn't come on her own, it's a week from tomorrow I go in to be induced.

Are we there yet?

Every nurse or medical person I come in contact with says, "You're almost there!" or "The end is in sight." I guess it really is, folks. My last doctor appointment is scheduled for Monday, April 11th and my last NST is scheduled for Tuesday, April 12th. If I make it that long.
Currently, I am 2cm and 80% effaced.
I've had one real contraction (around 3:30 this morning), and even though I waited for more, nothing. Such a tease.
I was guessing the cervix would be closed, so I was happily surprised to hear I was dilated at all. We all know I could still go right up until induction day, but there is a glimmer of hope for earlier.
Oh, and they switched to a non-digital scale at my doctor's office. According to that scale, I am up 18 pounds from pre-pregnancy. I want the digital one back!

*edited to add* I've also had some light bleeding/spotting since the internal exam (which is to be expected). However, there has been threadlike things in the toilet...doesn't look mucus-pluggy...but I really have no idea what it is...I'm sure she jsut distrupted something while digging around in there. Hopefully that will help labor along!

Waiting...

Waiting for test results....they should be available in a couple of weeks.
Waiting for ovulation...I'm currently on CD40something (see, I've lost track). Since I am heading off to a conference on the other side of the state, I have also decided to stop temping and OPKing while I am there.
Waiting to hear about a medical study for women with PCOS...this would mean free u/s monitoring, clomid or new drug to induce ovulation, bloodwork, etc.
Oh, and waiting for May 1st. (When B gives me the go-ahead to talk about it, I will share....but I haven't asked her yet.)

8DPO-20DPO

I'm somewhere in that range. Nothing like a 12 day range.
We went to the dollar store last night and I picked up a few tests. This morning's test was almost mocking me. As the pink dye went across the window there was almost a white line staring back at me where the test line should be. Ugh. I'm trying to remain hopeful here, but it is proving to be a little difficult. At this point, I'm almost ready to welcome AF, just so I can get this cycle over with and start over....but then I read this last night and it kind of gave me hope. (a false sense? I do not know.)
Could it be possible that I could be in the 1% of women that will not get a positive test 16-19DPO but still remain pregnant? I sure was in the minority when I had a second trimester miscarriage...1-5%.
I am thinking I will have to get my doctor involved if the answer is not clear by next Monday. Until then...we wait.

By request...

Here's the chart. Thoughts...?
