I need some place that I can post the same annoying things over and over again without grating on anybody's nerves. I am dying over here. I mean I am soooo happy to be in the 2ww, but time is standing still. I'm having some symptoms, but not too many and it's too early really to have anything going on anyways, but man I just want to pee on something.
That and I want to eat my arm off! I hate that. I swear I get this feeling every month about 7 dpo! It is so irritating! I got it the month I was pregnant too. I need something to do. I guess I'll go clean some more. I wish it could be Friday already.

I so wish I was 8dpo that would mean I could pee on something tomorrow. I am going crazy waiting. No real symptoms though other than I feel like eating everything in my house. At least I have something I want to watch on tv in a little bit and then I'll wake up and it'll be tomorrow.

I am peeing on something tomorrow. I am buying some CBE non digis tonight and I am peeing on one in the morning. I just am weak willed. I can't take it. I am doing it. Stay tuned.

I am 8 DPO and I am right there with you! I'm trying to wait until the answer would atleast be trustworthy, but it is so hard! The waiting game is definitely not as fun as I thought it would be.

Teresa - After 6 kids, I'm sure you know this already but I figured I'd say it just in case you didn't. The internet is the WAY TO GO when ordering OPK's & HPT's for us POAS addicts. They are slightly more sensitive than ones available in the stores so you can get your BFP sooner and they are oh so much cheaper.
I got some that are 10 mIU @ webwomb.com. 5 tests for $13. I also ordered a ttc kit @ early-pregnancy-tests.com. It was about $35 and it included 50 (yes, FIFTY) OPK's and 15 (fifteen) HPT's. They are slightly less sensitive at 20 mIU. (I also got my pre-seed there...) CBE non-digi's are 25 mIU. Everything came within a couple days of ordering and was very discreet in the mailbox. I've also heard e-bay is great for hpt's but i've never tried that.
It's hard to justify poas so often when you're paying $13 for 2 tests but I feel way less guilty about poas 8 - 10 days per cycle when they're so cheap.

Yes, I have 50 cheapies. Well 49 since I wasted one, but I really want to use a CBE non digi bad. Last month it was the first test to detect my bfp way earlier than the other brands. I mostly got the cheapies so I could pee on them after I get my bfp. I was a total spaz and since I've had 2 early losses in a row now I know I will likely be a spaz again. Besides I have been known to pee on more than one test in a day and the cheapies help with my afternoon and evening needs to pee on something.

OMFG YOU SO TOTALLY CRACK ME UP!!! Good to know about the CBE non-digis.
We are so much alike it's frightening. Well... except for the running thing. My MIL does marathons & triathalons... she tried to get me to do team for training with her but I told her I don't run unless a very large animal is chasing me. *grin* But as for the poas addict part and all this ttc stuff... yep. Pretty close. I poas @ 4 a.m. & 4 p.m. today. Both were BFN but I'm not worried. It's not over until the evil AF shows her ugly face.
I just keep reminding myself that with my 16 yr dd, i didn't get a + FMU test until after 5 weeks or so. I KNEW i was PG & my dr knew i was trying so she let me go straight to the lab for beta. I even got a neg on my first beta but 2 days later, the beta was BFP... my BFP HPK wasn't until almost a week later. Crazy, huh? But - that was a very long time ago and who even knows what brand i was peeing on or how sensitive they were back then.
With my 4 yr dd, i skipped the hpt's too... I was convinced i had an inner ear infection... dizzy, queasy, etc. My ears looked good so she did some general blood tests. No infection but BFP on the beta i didn't even know she was doing. lol
So anyways - I guess I'm gonna have to run to Walgreens now & grab some cbe's. *giggle*
Tomorrow's 11 dpo. I can't take this 2ww thing anymore!!! AURGH!!!

Hi Ladies...
@ Missjomama you give me hope! AF is missing and I'm at day 35, she was due at day 26. I took 2 EPT test, one FMU this past Tuesday that was negative. So I have a dr appt tomorrow at 9:45am. I have pregnancy symptons and although I don't have any kids, every time I've been pregnant (2 before now) I knew it. So I am keeping my fingers crossed I am and that this one makes it. I have symptons of swelled breast, eating weird things (I had chocolate milk and an omelet for breakfast this morning), increased odorless vaginal discharge (that was last week, not so much this week), stuffy nose last nite, mild headache and crampy stomach. But the test were negative. If I am preggars I should be 5 weeks and 2 days...so thats why your story gives me hope since the test were negative. I did do a digital test, but the last time I was pregnant I did a digital test and it was positive. This was back in April of this year, 3 days later I miscarried.  But I'm hoping for better results this time around! What do you think?

Hiya cupcake! I think every pregnancy for every woman is different.  ) In this ttc world, every little symptom convinces us we're pregnant and every AF visit crushes us. Your symptoms sould solid... do you *feel* pregnant? Never give up hope. Even when the nasty witch AF shows her ugly face, your hope remains in tact because it's the end of one cycle but the start of another - and it just may be the one that gives you your BFP. 
It sounds like they'll do a beta today & if it's neg, I would push for something that will kickstart your AF.
AFM - 11dpo & still bfn but i didn't make it to walgreens to buy more tests... my 4 yr dd ended up with the stomach flu last night. As of right now, she's kept down about 6 saltine crackers and some gingerale in the last 24 hours which has me thinking... hmmm... was my queasiness & vomiting earlier this week a symptom? Or the stomach flu? It didn't *feel* like the stomach flu... no cramping or pain, just green about the gills, you know? (*)(*) still are killing me... back is hurting today... pelvic area feels heavy and tender. Good signs or AF signs? Who knows... It's my catch phrase. I'm gonna keep poas until i get my bfp or evil af shows up. *grin*
baby dust & super sticky glue to all!
