Tomorrow is "B" day....

and I am a train wreck.  Having bad AF symptoms.  Cramping coming and going...wish I was brave enough to test....but the other part of me wants to stay PUPO.   I won't take the call at work.  I'll let it go to voicemail.  So won't know until we both get home tomorrow.  Going to be the world's longest day.....  I thought I was doing so well this 2ww.. but woke up this morning and anxiety level is through the roof.  Think I'll treat myself to a decadent Hot fudge Sunday after work.  Will feel better for awhile!  F/U IF!

    Not to be a Debbie Downer... but the HPT could read negative and I'm not in the right frame of mind to see that.  I know there is a good chance it could be positive.. but I guess it is a defense mechanism for me.

    Thank you all for the well wishes... and heading out to get that jumbo hot fudge sundae now...... I can almost taste it!  Can't wait!
