I am not testing yet. I have to wait until Sunday to test...but I was just curious is it better to test with FMU or SMU? Or if I get a BFN on FMU, should I test with SMU also to be sure that it was a BFN?

I am sorry that these are such silly questions. I was just curious.

Also, have you ever just felt that this wasn't your month? That is how I feel. I have some major sensitivity in my nipples I mean...they are constantly "tingling". I really want that to mean something but I don't even think that is a symptom...and even if it was...it would be too early to have any pg symptoms, right? I think I O'd on the 11th (maybe 12th). I got my +opk on the 10th. I really don't like this TWW.

Ok...done complaining!

Isn't the TWW awful! Ugh.

I have heard good things about SMU. Most packages say to use FMU, but it seems a lot of gals get better results with SMU (sometimes even afternoon or evening "piddle" gives great results).

As for symptoms, it might be too early, it might not be. I've heard of women having symptoms at 4 or 5 DPO. Hopefully it's a good sign for you!

FMU never works for me, I have got BFNs using FMU when the day before I had really nice lines and bfp digis. So I stick with SMU, or and other pee for that matter, of course since I have a lot of IC's I tend to test with both knowing not to trust the results of FMU. I know the 2ww is horrible, I am 1 dpo as of today and for whatever reason after I O, I can smell things a mile away and everything stinks. Happens every cycle after O, weird. I'll be testing Sunday too, just don't tell dd lol.

My SMU lines have always been way darker than my FMU lines. Sometimes my FMU lines were even lighter than the ones the night before.
