so I finally put my big girl panties on...

and POAS last night *BFN*. 

I don't know how you ladies who love to POAS do it!  The process gives me such anxiety (even when my body is telling me the outcome).  So after I fessed up to DH about not wanting to, he said I don't want it to be negative either. 

Do you ever find that YH knows just what to say sometimes & exactly how to say it? Am I the only one out there with POAS anxiety?

Ugh- I know how you feel. I waited as long as possible this cycle to POAS, because I knew it was going to be devastating. My DH doesn't really know what to say- or how to say it- but I am patient with him, it isn't his fault my body sucks.

I'm sorry about the BFN by the way...

I'm with you-- I hate to POAS so I just wait for my period to show. Don't know why I think this "cushions the blow" but I do it anyway.

I'm sorry about the BFN   I'm with you, I hate POAS - I think I've only done it 3 times in 27 cycles.  It gives me physical anxiety, like my hands shake when I'm opening the wrapper.  I've always wondered how people do it, seeing that one line breaks my heart - I would much rather just wait for AF.

{{HUGS}} My DH always seems to know what to say also. Sometimes it is not even what he says, it's what he does. He'll hug me until I feel better. Or take me out and do something togther that is fun. He just knows...

My DH prefers to wait until I am about a week past-due to POAS so I tend to wait until I think AF should have come.  The kicker was a few months ago when I pee'd on a stick and then wiped only to find AF was there - I didn't wait to see the BFN on that stick

besu-chan

my DH is the same way- we've had too many cycles when I was 3-4 days past due and POAS to get a BFN. ugh, testing and then finding AF is my biggest fear, b/c I always use FMU. sorry that happened to you.

I hate to do it because I am so afraid that it says negative, but my wanting to know now overtakes my fear.
