FF is suggesting I wait 16-18 DPO to test. Wow...that seems like such a long time! Since I just started charting last month, and didn't have a very long luteal phase, it suggests waiting that long. So, that would be around the 18th or so...that is at least unless AF shows before then. I remember testing with DD, I tested the VERY earliest possible, like 3 days before I expected AF, and got a DARK positive. This last time, I waited till AF was a day or two late, but I really just didn't think I'd get pregnant that fast, so it's not like I was itching to test that time. But this time? Wow...it's gonna seem like forever!

It was funny, DH said last night "Well, we definitely had a lot of opporutunities to get you pregnant!" I was like "Yeah, but if we missed the window, you never know!" I'm just so frustrated that things didn't line up the way I thought they would with the negative OPK's and all. Hmm....we'll see!!!!

Well, 18 days of high temps usually indicates pg. It looks like you guys did excellent with the BDing! I say test at 14-16DPO and if you get BFN, then the 18 days rule may apply. GL!!!! What method on FF are you using? FAM or Advanced?

I never wait until the FF testing date. Usually by 12dpo - if I don't get a bfp - then it's on to the next month (as AF usually arrives around 12dpo to 14dpo).

I'm a POAS addict. No way I could make it that long. I usually test 10-12dpo.

I'm with you guys. I think I am going to start testing around 10DPO. I can't wait almost 20 days! I'd be going crazy!!! Of course, I know if it's a BFN at 10 days, it might be too early. I won't throw in the towel till AF shows her face.
DH made a joke that we BD'd more this past week than we usually do in a month. I had to assure him that I wasn't using him as a sperm donor! This is the first time in years that my body is actually NORMAL! No birth control getting out of my system, no hormonal wackiness! My thyroid is under control! I'm just loving being myself again!

Glad things are going so well for you. Now you just need a BFP to go with all that good stuff. Good luck!
