in TTC after 35
Can we start our own 12 step program? My plan was to start POAS on Saturday....didn't make it that far and started Wed. Neg, neg, neg. yesterday I got the faintest of faint pink lines x2. Hoping to wake up to a clear second line today-instead I got a BFN. It's still early for me, CD 25 today. Since I bought Internet cheapies I can not help want to scrutinize a stick every time I go to the bathroom. This month we decided to move forward with DE so I've slacked off on monitoring my own cycle. Last month I ovulated on CD 17. I have been very sick since Friday. Too sick and exhausted to function in any normal capacity. Mostly congested with a low grade temp. Although, have also noticed that I've been constipated and really headachy. I think our timing was good this month, but cann't be positive because I wasn't paying attention. Wondering if a very early pg could be effecting why I feel so lousy and haven't been able to bounce back as I normally do?

Re: Confessions of a POAS addict
Those could definitely be early pregnancy symptoms! I hope you do have a surprise BFP on your hands!
This does however sound a lot like what happened to me last month, also using the internet cheapies. What I'd swear was a very faint line on two tests, then BFN on the blood test. I don't think I really trust the Wondfos anymore. As soon as mine run out I'm biting the bullet and buying a couple of boxes of FRERs.
And ETA: I'm also getting a similar effect this morning, at 13 dpo. I don't trust it at all; will buy some FRERs later today.
Thinking that I'm going to have to purchase some FRER too, just cann't tell my DH. He has no idea that I've been testing-I HATE to tell, because then he wants to know-well?....wish it were that cut and dry. Wish that I even know how many DPO I am this month-lesson learned and will be paying closer attention and using OPKs next month.
Ticker warning::::
Good luck ladies!!! And yes please go get some FRER's they were the only ones I trusted.
