I haven't felt this way in a long time. My bb's are still swollen and heavy and I've had headaches the last several days in a row. Last night I woke up with my stomach growling. Today, my stomach was growling but no appetite. I have a horrible taste in my mouth that I can't shake, and this afternoon I'm feeling little tiny achy cramping in my abdomen. I know a lot of these can be IPS, but not the swollen bbs- that has only happened one other time when I wasn't preggo and that was my first cycle after my m/c. I pray to God that my hunch is right and that I'm finally pregnant!! 
I'll keep you all posted. I caved at lunch and ran out and bought a first response- negative but I think it's too early since AF isn't due until Sunday.

Your symptoms sound VERY promising! I'm hopeful for you! When are you planning on testing again?

Thanks!! I am so afraid to get too excited... but the whole bb's thing is what has me so hopeful. I just know I'm going to be crushed if this isn't it. Poor little DS has been asking almost every day, "when is momma gonna have a baby in her tummy?".. it just breaks my heart when he asks us that. He told us last night he wants a baby sister and he wants to name her "Frosty"..  Have no clue where that came from!
I will probably test again tonight before bed on a cheapie and then again in the morning. I usually am not a POASaholic but right now that's all I want to do!!

I think those symptoms sound really promising! I hope that you get a nice BFP and can give your son his sister "Frosty"!!! LOL... In all seriousness, I hope this is it for you and you get your healthy sticky bean!! Good luck!

Yay for symptoms of a possible future Frosty!
I'm right there with you at 9 dpo, and unfortunately I'm not as optimistic, so I'm just going to live vicariously thru you! Let us know what the test tonight looks like. I'll be back on later to check up....

You all are great!!! Thank you for the support. I know it's going to hurt so much if this isn't it...  I'm trying so hard to be optimistic and I can't keep my hands off my bbs -- so paranoid they aren't going to be swollen anymore!
I'm waiting a little longer to hit the potty again.. another hour or so and I'll let you know!!!

Don't forget showers and sudden downpours of rain.
What's your goal "hold it until" time? Are you using FRER? I was reading an article today about an independent study that said they have the most consistently sensitive HCG test levels...something like 12.5 or 16.5. I can't remmeber which.

I'm so sorry!!! DH was on the computer last night researching stuff for the house we are building so I just went to bed.
I tested last night and again this morning at 3:30 when I got up to pee- both BFNs. I feel so mad at myself for testing early and getting my hopes up. I dunno, I'm just feeling down this morning like maybe i'm dreaming it all up. My bbs are still swollen, but I'm losing confidence that this is my month.
Tomorrow I will test again in the morning and then call my OBGYN, b/c he told me to wait 10 days and call. He may have me come in to do a blood test, and if I'm not get my prescriptions going for progesterone and clomid. So we'll see!

Thanks for the update. I was going nuts here waiting for you to log on this morning!
As for the BFN...sorry to hear about that. How long is your LP usually? Mine is only 11 days(usually, although it does fluctuate unexplainably), and I've already started cramping at 10dpo today, so my optimism has gone from low to non existant. Keep us posted as things progress.
