Good luck, Mamina!!! Avoid likely sources of food poisoning (like questionably cooked meat or seafood, or unwashed produce) and try to get plenty of sleep! Enjoy your trip! 
My test yesterday was a very clear negative.
Still having symptoms and no bleeding tho, so maybe I was mistaken about my O date and testing too early?? Planning to buy a more sensitive test and wait until at least Friday, maybe give it a whole week in hopes of avoiding the silliness of wasting a test minutes before the bleeding starts.... I really feel very different from my usual PMS, and the most similar to this I've ever felt was when I was on the Pill which is supposed to simulate pregnancy. My biggest worry is that this conglomeration of symptoms means my hormonal balance is out of whack in some abnormal way instead of from pregnancy. (I have had various unexplained hormonal wackiness over the years.)
One of my bouts of nausea neatly overlapped w/helping at a Halloween production, seated 18" from a giant vat of mostly chocolate candy which smelled DISGUSTING to me! It was very weird, as I normally like chocolate and eat a piece about every 30 minutes while working Halloween; this year I ate a couple of peppermint patties trying to curb the nausea (helpful) but other than that ate NO chocolate all week! When not actively nauseated I still didn't find it appetizing at all. That sounds like just the sort of thing that happens to pregnant women, so I'm still hoping!

! What a pain! So, I stopped the pill on Friday, and this morning I had some red blood as well as the daily yuck brown (sorry if tmi!
: ). Anyway, I go to the RE tomorrow for an ultrasound to make sure the cyst is gone. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Taking these last 2 cycles off has been really hard on me, and I can't wait to be in the 2ww again!
I'm sad that I'm not pregnant but glad to be having something approximating a normal cycle, which for me is nothing to take for granted! I ordered an Ovulens so I'll have a clearer idea of what's going on this time.
, waited to build up more nest before releasing the egg this month. We BD'd on Saturday night and last night so even though it's probably silly of me to think it might happen (when I'm going to the OB tomorrow to discuss options RE getting rid of the polyp in my uterus and opening my left fallopian tube, which is blocked,) I am hoping really hard anyway!
. But, *I* am happy, because yesterday she found me, and today the RE informed me that my cysts are gone, so I get to TTC this cycle
: IUI that day. I will be wishing buckets and buckets of baby dust for all of us!! We've been in this forum for too $%&! long!
