...and I'm not a fan of roller coasters in general. So I'm about 8 dpo today...had some minor cramping on saturday/sunday (slight but enough to notice)...and I could swear my boobs feel tender/heavier yesterday/today. My gut says its all in my head, but my heart says maybe not. ummm its usually in my head so i should go with my gut, right? I mean, how many times do we conjure up these symptoms and dump a load of $$$ on hpts for nothing...I do it every month and I'm tired of it.

so I drove past the drug store this morning on my way to work...i mean i rollllllled past it because i was dying to pull in...but i didn't and i'm very proud of myself. But i'm still fighting the urge.

Someone please talk me out of testing...i don't want to do this to myself anymore. Why do I have to be such a POAS addict!!!!

[krystal g]

I COMPLETELY GET IT!!!

Although I'm not the one to talk you out of testing, I guess, because I'm a POAS addict myself. I start testing early, completely expecting a BFN and that way, when AF shows up I'm already ready for her. I also justify it by buying bunches of HPTs online so they are super cheap. I don't know if this is the smartest thing to do, but it works for me.

BUT...I completely understand the disappointment. I would have bet my mortgage that I was pg last month! Guess I should stay out of Vegas, huh?! I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, so I'm starting my 2WW...let the fun begin!

I feel your pain! Im on 6dpo and REFUSE to test until at least 11. STAY strong! I even feel myself holding my pee mid-cycle for no reason, other than my phantom POAS! WTH? We really have to get ahold of ourselves!

[charlierays]

That's so funny because I was holding my pee this morning contemplating going to the drug store....until I felt like I was about to explode. So now of course I'm thinking that if I hold it again for another few hours then I'll have a good specimen. Sick in the head, I tell ya!

[.:Shortcake:.]

I am probably the worst person for POAS! Lol so I'm really no help to tell you not to. However maybe you should buy a pile of cheapies online. That way you have something to pee on thats not so expensive lol!

[charlierays]

if i order online i don't know if i can wait for the shipment...LOL! What website? I've never ordered IC's before.

Hmmm...maybe I should stop at the dollar tree at lunchtime....

Early Pregnancy Tests: hCG Pregnancy Midstream and Test Strips That is the website that I use. I would go ahead to the dollar store this time lol but I would look into buying. I got a bunch from that site and ebay

I can't talk you out of testing, I am the worst. I spend so much $ on tests.... can't help myself. I guess it is a better addiction than being a drug addict.

This is an awesome thread!!!

It's hard NOT to test... I cannot say much... but waiting 4 or more days won't hurt and it'll save ya a few bucks too Good luck with fighting your urge, you can do it!

[charlierays]

Thanks for trying to talk me down celena, but unfortunately it was too late and I caved. I had to stop at Walgreens to pick up my sons vitamin...SO, on my way up to the counter i just HAPPENED to pass the family planning section and i just HAPPENED to grab a box of Answers and then went home to test. Yes, stupid...i know. Anyway, now i'm staring at this stupid shadow line that I see...which i think thats all it is. On my way back to work i just HAPPENED to swing by walmart and pick up some equates for later use...perhaps tomorrow.

Oh well...if nothing else, that kept me entertained for awhile.

I start on cd 7.. what is that 2 days after FF gives me my crosshairs.. HELLO??? I tell myself every month... but I never listen to that little voice... and cave everytime.. thinking.. it going to be a BFN.. so you won't be disapointed.. and I never am...
