I just overheard my dbf on the phone with his gramma, telling her that I might be pregnant. Hes never done that lol. I guess if we do get a bfp, he isnt planning on waiting to tell people!  He never even told ME that he thinks anything about this cycle! WTH!?
Im only 4 dpo and Im having a really hard time restraining the urge to poas. Serious urge. I know its from the Clomid. I know it, but Im having some serious bloating (only 1% will experience it badly) Guess Im the lucky one. (Sarcasm) Im looking more pregnant every day. The only thing that I have going on it a lack of sore bb's (normally the ache from about 6 hrs after O to AF) but it has been absent before.. and some heartburn. Anyone have any will power to lend for a few days??

How cute is your DBF? 
I don't know how to help with that urge, though. We all know I usually have no self control  You could ask your DBF to hide your tests... or just pee on the same stick every day 
My fingers are so crossed for you this cycle.... come on Thanksgiving BFP!!

I would start testing today if I was you... Tobi I am a horrible POAS'er! Seriously, I have tested at 4dpo before.
Onto your symptoms: With my recent pregnancy I felt NOTHING except I bloated up and looked 4 months pregnant. I honestly had given up all hope as my bb's did not get sore, nothing. I thought I was out, I only poas because I am compulsive about it and can't help myself. Boy was I surprised when I got a + on a digi!
I think your BF is adorable, it is great to hold out hope like that!!! Maybe the power of positive talking will be the key

That is cute honey! With DD my ex was telling everyone I was pg before I even knew it! (we weren't trying or anything, so it was all intuition I suppose) and by the time I called to tell people they were like, I know, he told us so and so time (before I knew)
Sooooo I sometimes think that men are more in tune with us than we are! Maybe he's onto something !

Just Do It! Lol
I started at 6dpo. Luckily I bought 10ics so I figured they'd last. Ask me how many are left now.

lol I should have known your responses before I posted!! I would have posted the same things hehehe. I literally had a box in my hand in the washroom tonight, and told myself to stop being an idiot! Theres no way a bfp would show by 4dpo! But you know, if I start tomorrow, I have enough dollar store tests to poas 2 times everyday, til 12 dpo and still have 4 frer left over .... hmmm Every hear of a bfp on day 5??
On a more serious note, Im actually pretty concerned about the weight gain and bloating. Even dbf said that something is definitely going on, cause the bloating is totally obvious. I may call the clinic in the morning and ask the nurse about it. Ill see how I feel in the morning.

I am a chronic POASer so I will be no help lol. I have my addiction back after doing it a few times a day for the OPK's. I say if you have 'em, pee on 'em! It may be early, but sometimes you can get an early positive.
One of my first symptoms last pregnancy was gas and bloat........

I have to run to work but I will post a picture later. Even before I got my BFP my stomach was all stuck out and I looked 4-5 months pregnant. When I went into my DDC and posted belly pictures the girls were like, are you sure you are only 5 weeks? I hope this is it for you Tobi!!!

Your dbf is so sweet! I'm a POASaholic so my instinct is to tell you test, test, test! As for the bloating, I've had it every time I'm pregnant. I wound up in maternity pants at 7 weeks with DD because I looked like I was 4 months pregnant and nothing else fit. I have all of my crossables crossed for you that this is it!!!

Tobi- you could possibly have mild OHSS from the Clomid (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome), which causes bloating and weight gain. I'm pretty sure as long as you can go on with your normal activities that they just tell you to keep an eye on it anyway.
Or you have a bean sticking in there super early!

That is so sweet!!! but, as you can see you get no mercy to keep you away from p'g oas. The funny thing is, I usually have so much will power. I never buy a test until it dawns on me that af hasn't arrived. This time, I've used a FRER and a cheapie. Got one more cheapie for Sunday unless I can get to the store to get another pack.
Hope you get your bfp!!!!!! and get peeing!

Just wanted to say that my DH is the only reason I POAS when we got our BFP. We'd gone from TTC to NTNP and I actually had no idea where in my cycle I was. I knew AF should have been on her way soon, but didn't know if I was late or anything... DH told me for a few days straight that I was pregnant, so I finally broke down and POAS, and it was our BFP! Maybe your DBF has the same skillz Lots of dust your way!!!

Are you having pains on your ovaries? When I had OHSS it hurt! Then cysts developed and it hurt even more. I hope that is not it Tobi.

Ohh... I can't wait.
I have to admit though, I've been very disappointed in the frers. I say get an Answer instead. They're like the Frers used to be. The frers just give grey lines when your pg and grey evaps when you're not.
