BFN at 10 dpo but glad I tested (sort of)

in TTC after 35

I just tested (but only with an internet cheapie) because I'm throwing a party tonight to celebrate a promotion I'm getting, and folks are going to want to buy me drinks.  I have no intention of going over the top, but I also don't want to not drink at all and start a rumor mill (since I hear there are already a few rumors about my status--probably based on the fact that I've gained weight over the last few months between recovering from being very ill, TTC/drugs, and working out less as a result).  So, BFN, which I was sort of expecting anyway; but at least this way I can have a drink or two without wondering if I'm drinking when I could have known for sure I was pregnant (of course, I would not drink if I knew I was, hence the testing). 

But, sigh: AF is due to arrive on the day before Thanksgiving, when I'll be visiting family for the holiday.  It'll be just my mother on that day and she knows what's going on, but I hate the thought of Thanksgiving itself as "recover from most recent BFN day."

    Congrats on your promotion!  I'm not saying sorry about the BFN as is only 10DPO so you can still get the BFP and not be sad on Thanksgiving:-)   I know what you mean though about everything. I've gained weight (emotional eating, not working out) because of TTC and my parents are coming to my house on Wednesday. I have not seen them since the end of July (they list 5 hrs away) and my father will likely make some comment about my weight, I'll start to cry and spill my guts to my mother about TTC and how it hasn't happened. Then I get to have 19 people at my house on Thursday and put on my fake happy face...  

    TTC #1 since 8/1/10; Me:41 and BRCA1+, DH:46
    DOR (FSH 24.3)/ terrible egg quality ; homozygous MTHFR c677t
    5 IUI's: 2/11 to 6/11 and 1/12= BFN
    OE IVF#1-4 8/11-6/12= all BFN
    DE IVF#1 11/12 bad embryos= BFN
    DE IVF #2 2/13 BFP/Beta hell: m/c 5w6d
    CFNBC 7 months, not doing well; decided on guarantee program at RBA w/frozen DE
    DE IVF #3 1/14  ET 4BB; BFP;M/C 5w1d, incomplete m/c; MVA extraction in ER 7w1d

    DE FET#1 ET 3/1714; BFP, beta 1 3/27= 197, beta 2 3/31= 1586, beta 3 4/7= 13879!!

    I know exactly how you feel. The first few days after AF arrives I'm always a mess. Hope you get your BFP and congrats on the promotion!
