I've discovered I am NOT a "test early, test often" kinda gal. My little brain can't handle it. So I'm gonna wander off for a couple days, 'cause being on the boards makes me too hyped up to just keep obsessing.
AF is due Monday (12 DPO, for all my cycles since having Drew). If my B6 decided to work this cycle (even though it didn't last cycle), I may have a longer LP this time, and AF might be due Tuesday (13 DPO, or my normal, pre-Drew, 12-day LP). I'm not going to temp for the next couple of days. If AF is going to come, and she hasn't come by the end of the day Tuesday, then surely she'll come Wednesday (14 DPO). One extra little 100mg B6 pill shouldn't give me more than an extra 1-2 days of LP. So my grand plan is to not temp until Wednesday, which is the latest AF should be due, then if my temp is still high, test. If it's low, don't test, just wait for the spotting to start.
No matter what happens, I'll be sure to come back as soon as I have confirmation one way or the other. I just need to take a little mini vay-cay until then.
Lots of love and sticky/baby dust while I'm gone!!! And I'll "see" y'all in a couple of days

I completely understand. I drove myself nuts testing from way to early dpo. I took a few days off and then tested and got my bfp. Those few days of not testing were so nice.

I feel bad too. I was a pusher. I think they should make an after-school special about POAS pushers and I could be the girl hanging out in the dark alley offering pee sticks to TTC girls. At the end of the episode the moral of the story would be... Early and often isn't for everyone.
I am secretly very jealous of girls that wait until AF is late. I wish I was that strong.
Sorry for pushing the pee sticks.

Please don't be sorry. Even getting the BFNs I was having fun with all of it -- the hype, the excitement, etc. I just know now that the cumulative effect of all the BFNs isn't something I can handle very well. No worries, I'm not over here huddled in a corner in a deep depression or anything Just taking a couple days off.

Just wanted to stop back in to say I have no willpower. I temp'd this morning and it's still higher than I would expect it to be, especially if I'm expecting AF today. But I really don't feel like this is my cycle. I feel out. And I know, I know, the high temp and such is a good sign... But I feel out. Because I caved and took my temp, and because it was high, I caved and took a test, and it was a BFN.
I woke up at about 2:30 this morning for no apparent reason and tested out of curiosity and it was 97.97 -- still above the coverline, but substantially below my recent temps. It's what I would expect my temp to look like if AF were coming the next day. So I went back to sleep, tested 3 hours later at my normal time, and got 98.47, which is a teeny bit lower than the surrounding temps, but not enough to make me raise an eyebrow. I used the time from 5:30 since that's my normal time, and since after the 97.97 I didn't get up or move around or even stay awake -- I drifted right back to sleep. And my sleep is almost always disturbed a little, so I feel confident that I wouldn't have raised my temp half a degree, that wouldn't go down in 3 hours, just by temping. Sometimes I get up and pee around 3 and even that doesn't do anything.
Just my morning report. I'm still gonna try and stay away today 'cause if I sit here and stare at the computer all day I'll just obsess about whether or not I'm pregnant, which I don't think I am. I just think the B6 is working for me. AF should show probably tomorrow or the next day. Yay for increasing my LP!
