Ladies Waiting to Test or for AF's Arrival...

in TTC after 35
I saw in a thread yesterday that quite a few of us were due for AF and/or waiting to test. AF is officially two (or three) days late today (with a 12-day LP) over here. There is no sign of her at all, but my last test (taken last night) was BFN. This is so frustrating. I think more than anything else, I want to move on with this new cycle.
I didn't have it in me to test this morning.
Where is everyone else at with their testing/wait?

FWIW, I'm slowly learning what my brain is telling me but my heart is slow to understand, charting is really only good for pinpointing when and if you've O'd, that's really its true purpose, not predicting pregnancy. There are so many chart features that could be indicative of pregnancy but could also not be, just as is the case with the range of possible symptoms women might experience or not experience. I've had what looks like an implantation dip in most of my cycles, including my loss cycle, but still no baby. I've had a couple of triphasic charts, but no pregnancies those cycles. I've had my temp plummet days before AF, just as I've had my temp stay sky high until after AF arrived, same result. I'm really trying hard not to read too much into my chart after I've got my CHs, it just makes me crazy and leads to wild hopes that have inevitably been dashed every time. And I definitely don't visit the 'Charts Like Yours' section of FF any more! It's a subtle shift in perception but one I'm finding helpful, at any rate.

Charting temps can make you crazy -( actually no the charting isn't what makes you crazy its the, over analyzing) but several months of temping showed me issues, my RE diagnosed PCOS because my temps never indicated O, so if you are new I really recommend charting through to at least AF (I always break during AF cause who cares) for several months.....Since I have pcos its easier for my to chart, and follow cm cause who knows when or if I will ever O.
Also according to TCOYF 18 consecutive days of high temps indicates pregnancy....LOL but who can actually wait 18 days!!

I had two months of regular cycles after removing my IUD. If keeping on that schedule then I should have started last Monday (7/22). I took at test the day before on the 21st and it was BFN. I've had cramping off and on since then, my armpits were really sore on Sunday and my boobs are bigger (not really sore though). I took at test on Sunday (7/28) and it was also BFN. Who knows...my husband says to quit taking the tests. He says to just listen to my body and it will tell me if I am or not. Easier said than done honey!
Well got my period a week and a half late on Friday - which was the first day of our mini-vacay. Awesome.
Dumb question - what is sticky dust? (still learning a lot of the acronyms and TTC terms!)
