Crawling out from underneath my rock so I can fess up too.  This morning.  I tested.

Of course it's negative, it's too damn early to test.

I really have my doubts in general but my God my brain won't let it go.

We need a support group LOL.

I think part of my problem is my self-imposed timeline.  If it doesn't happen by the end of the year, we're going to stop (I'm headed for 41).  The pressure is on which is totally unhealthy but omg I can't help it.

Hold me Liz

Liz,

Are you using OPK's or a Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor? 

FWIW, I tested 'early' at 12 dpo and got a faint bfp on a target brand and tested with a digi and got a clear 'pregnant'.  I would wait until you are in double digits at LEAST.  What type of tests are you using?  $tree or internet cheapies/store brands, you'll have to wait longer as they are not as sensitive...

Keeping everything crossed for you for a BFP this month! Your chart looks awesome!

Thanks - I am using OPK's but have never actually gotten a good line on them (including the month I got pregnant) I temp, chart CM, Cervical position so I am pretty sure when I ovulated.

I tested with the FRER gold test this morning. I know I should wait - I am just too darn impatient! I have some walmart brand ones too (blue dye so I am reluctant to use them) so I sprung for the good one.

Thanks for checking out the chart too - we haven't given up hope - that BFN just hurts! lol

Step away from the tests woman!!! I am so not worried for you!! Its gonna happen!! I am so sure of it!!! My best friends mother told me once that I need to calm down or my baby would come out with a tablet and pen and would be writing notes before he/she was a day old!! Im the type of girl whos notes have notes!!! So i totally understand how you feel!!

I think we should plan a day to hang out soon!! Plus my pampered chef is coming to your house!!! Lets go to a spa for pedicures!!! My tootsies could use some pampering!!! Maybe we could meet somewhere like Allentown!! Invite Pam too!!!  I could get Courtney to come along too!! then do lunch!! You do so much for so many people you really need a day to you!!! I think we need to do it soon or you may just explode!!!!! Love YA!!!

Thanks Sweets!! Sounds like a plan to me! I have your PC stuff!! Came in saturday!

I am being good. I am being good. I was considering having Chris hide the HPT's until the weekend ! LOL I do have some restraint.

And thanks for the confidence that this is gonna happen!

LOL Liz darling you were doing so well waiting, guess the anticipation and symptoms were too much. Well I believe in my heart of hearts that you will get the BFP you want when you test again WHEN ITS TIME!! Have a good day and don't stress yourself, that makes it worse.

Liz- hoping you get you BFP this month! 

When I do the OPK, I was using the ones with the lines and never really got a true positive, or at least one that was "truly" positive. So this month I broke down and bought the digital OPK (Clear Blue Easy) and FINALLY got a positive ( <--- kinda what the positive looks like LOL) and the next day I felt some slight cramping so I know I O'd.

Thanks Vicki!

Well if this isn't our month then maybe I'll invest in some of those as well. I had gotten the "internet cheapies"

*waiting impatiently*
