I should be 11 or 12 DPO tomorrow, and due for af. I have an IC, with more on the way if the darn ups truck would hurry up and get here, and one digi left. I so want to pee on something but my fear has me refusing to. AHHHHHHHHH
*Update*
So I had a huge temp drop yesterday and I didn't test, but I picked up a dollar store test just in case. I took my temp this morning, shot right back up higher than two days before. So I took the dollar store test and didn't believe what I saw so I backed up with a digi and wondfo... I am shocked and scared.

I don't know how you have waited this long  The fear is horrible, you can either wait and see if AF shows or POAS, I know what I would do

Here is the voice of reason...
"Wait until after the day AF is supposed to show"
Here is the POAS pusher....
"test, Test, TEST!"
But really you want to test then I say do it. Don't drive yourself crazy. But also if it's negative don't think your out because it's not over until the fat lady sings!

Normally I start around 8 or 9 dpo. This hold back has been purely fear motivated, a bit of money motivated too.
Katie the pusher in me says test, the logical side says wait, my emotions are just on edge and can't help make up my mind. I've been purposely running to the bathroom in the morning and making sure I don't pick up that last IC and just do my thing. I was going to start testing tomorrow, since I was expecting the ICS today, but now with just 2 hpts in the house, I don't want to waste the digi or the ic. I'm probably going to test in the morning anyway so I can start the progesterone if it is a squinter.

Oooh, so exciting! Of course a part of me is screaming TEST but I understand about wanting to wait.
Let us know in the morning and I really, really REALLY hope you see a beautiful BFP!!!

OMFG!!! I swear the stars are against me. My ICs showed up at 4pm, one freaking hour after I left the office. So now I can't get them until Monday, unless I stop by the office on Friday to get them. Oh and to top it off I couldn't get the progesterone filled because there weren't instructions how to use it from the doctor.  The world hates me this month.

Thanks hun. I'm still in shock. What's funny is that SIL put me on the spot yesterday and asked if we were going to expand the family, all while giving our blessings. I kinda just brushed it off and never answered. I got so upset and kept thinking I was going to tell them all last night. Well, I guess she knew something I didn't until this morning and I'll tell them during Christmas instead. I just hope this baby sticks. I'm rushing to try and get the progesterone filled and call the doc to get a beta.

Good luck with getting that progesterone and beta. I bet the progesterone will be all you need for a sticky bean this cycle.
I have a question about your progesterone... I notice that your pre-O and post-O temps are very similar to mine. Do you have a verified progesterone deficiency, or is it just a precaution that your doctor is taking?

Doc is just taking extra precaution.

Okay, thanks. I didn't want to turn the excitement to me. My doc won't test my progesterone level until I have two losses. I don't think my level is inherently low because my temps shoot up so high after O and stay there. But I've been bummed that she won't take it more seriously, considering my short LP. My LP was extended to 10 days last cycle, thanks to B6, so I'm hoping it will be even longer this cycle. If I get a BFP, she said she'd get me in for a beta right away, but I'm going to push for a progesterone check too.
Good luck with everything. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that test already darker than last cycle's for you? I'll take that as a good sign.

That is so exciting!! This is the same cycle as your m/c right? I am in the exact same boat as you so that's why I'm asking. I think we are about 2 or 3 days apart. Anyway, I am so truly happy for you!

No worries about talking about yourself. I got lucky that my doc pretty much gave in to what I wanted. It might have to do with my age and the fact that I have endo. I just called and rescheduled my Dec. 5th apt. to Monday at 2.
Oh and yeah, both are much darker than last cycles. So I'm feeling better about it already.
Yeah, same cycle. I hope you get your bfp too.

My doctor was the same way. She asked me what I thought and what I wanted.
So glad that your tests are darker!
