I may faint now ! I think I'm pregnant!

Yesterday was 9DPO, I knew it was early, but since my luteal phase is 12-13 days, so I thought it would be AF- 4 and maybe I can test. I had 10 internet cheap one-time strips, so I thought I can start with them and when anything, I can confirm with clearblue. Anyway, the result was negative, but I saw a very very very faint line, like a shadow. I really didn't know if it was even there before testing or it just appeared.
I decided to wait until Friday and test again.
This morning Fertility Friend said that my chart turned triphasic. It means I had at least 3 days higher temperature, higher than the rest of the chart. which usually means pregnancy. Since I don't trust my thermometer that much, I didn't take it seriously. ( but I was hopeful at least )
I was still in bed that I remembered I have dentist appointment today. I'm not sure if the dentist should know If anybody is pregnant or it doesn't matter, but suddenly I decided to test, so I could tell the dentist to be careful. I tested with a clearblue, not digital one, the one that can be minus or plus, and after a while I saw a big plus smiling at me!
I jumped out of the bathroom and asked Cy if he thinks it's a positive. He was shocked and repeatedly asked wasn't it too soon to test?

I really don't know what I saw. Can it be false positive? Ok, I'm really going to faint now!
I think I have to test more to confirm. isn't it really too soon? 10DPO? did I pee right? is the test reliable enough? is it really happening? OMG, I can't believe it.

I wake up everyday saying to myself: "OK, I'm sure I'm not pregnant" , then I change my mind during the day. The first thing which makes me think I'm not pg, is the BBT. For those who have no clue about the BBT : the Basal Body Temperature is your body temp exactly the time you wake up in the morning from at least 3-4 hours sleep. you shouldn't drink, eat, stand up or cuddle before you measure your temp.
People usually take their BBT daily and save it in a chart to figure out their ovulation day. If you chart your BBT, you'll see a clear rise of temp the day after ovulation. that day would be the 1DPO.
The point of continuing with BBT after O is that it will sink again exactly before the AF. So if it doesn't, that means you are pregnant.
I also checked lots of charts on fertility friend website. so many pregnant charts had another rise in their temp at the end of the cycle, instead of going down for AF, they went up. but  there were also some charts end up with pregnancy that they didn't have much rise, just stayed high.

So every morning I wake up hoping to get a higher temp, but I don't, and that disappoints me. And since I don't "feel" pregnant I definitely decide that I'm not.

I also have a mix feeling that this shouldn't be like this. and I shouldn't be that obsess with the process, and it will happen at it's time. I was just never patient in my whole life.

The weekend was great. no day dreaming, no obsession. Today is 7DPO and according to some websites there can be a shift in temp when implantation happens, between 6 and 12 DPO. So I'm observing that so closely. Although I know it can't prove anything and it's not even a real symptom, it happens for some people but not all.
Anyway, I woke up this morning and first thing checked my temp 2 times in a row. 0.3 deg more than yesterday. I was still in bed after 2 minutes I checked again. same as yesterday, no shift. weird right?
So I really don't know, but I'm going to see what happens tomorrow.
Also I found out that you can search through fertility friends' BBT charts and check the ones end up in pregnancy for example. it's never be the same for 2 people, but it can give an overview to see that not everyone has a implantation dip and so on.
There is another website that people sends their symptoms when they had a successful TTC. it's good to hear that there are loooots of people who feel nothing the first 6-7 days post ovulation. cause I have nothing either. I'm just craving more for food, but that's not new and I have a tender breast, which I always had before my AF. While I'm typing this I have a very faint pain in my lower right abdomen, but that can be either my imagination, or my IBS , cause I have that syndrome. So I decided to believe that nothing unusual is going on with me at this moment.
