2ww is driving me nuts!

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I swear I am having the strongest AF symptons ever.. and I am over analizing every bit of it! Every little twinge I think is either AF getting ready to show her ugly face, or that maybe there is a little chance that it is a PG symtom.. and I am doing that with everything..

I have never had PMS like this before, so part of me wants to the its that I am KU, but I think it is all just because I am paying more attention to my body than ever.   I already went out and bought a First Response test because AF is due on Friday, but I am trying to hold off, (knowing there is a high chance for a false BFN right now)   I am trying to wait until after AF is due! But it is so hard!

So when do you ladies usually wait to test?

I looked at all the charts on FF and I see some test as early a 8dpo and others wait until 12 or 14.

What do you recommend?

    Was this your first month temping?  Why all the missing temps at the start?

    No, I skipped a month 1/2 temping, but I never temped on FF before.

    We have been trying since August, I temped that cycle, and decided to skip the next one, and picked back up partially through this one.

    We used to temp and chart for Natural family planning purposes (that is how I know my cycle pretty well)

    Phanton symptoms are a b!tch aren't they. I think it really depends on how long your LP is. Mine is usually around 15 days so testing at 8DPO would be to early. Is this your first month charting? I would recommed you wait to test until you think AF should have arrived. BFN's are a bummer to me.

    Tell me about it!!!

    I have learned to wait until AF comes...so far she has come every time...if I get to 16dpo then I'll test.

    I hate BFNS!

    Yea, that is why I am trying to wait! I never wanted to test so bad before but, I have never had symptoms this bad before! But, I absolutely don't want to test, get a BFN and depress myself and then still be curious that it is false and get depressed all over again when AF comes!

    I always wait until the day AF should come.  This meant I didn't test for several cycles (AF showed the morning she was scheduled).  However, the last two months I have tested the morning AF was supposed to show, got a BFN and then AF showed up that evening.  Oh well.  I guess I just need to wait another day or two!

    I feel your pain. I am now at 11 dpo and positively disgusted with my own behavior. I am analyzing every symptom and convinced we timed sex wrong. I am also convinced my OPKs did not work since I got positive readings and then a negative one and THEN got EWCM like a day later. Add to this the fact that I'm now freaking out about my AF symptoms, and I'm basically a basketcase.

    However...I am definitely waiting until the day my period is due to test. I would rather have hope than totally depress myself.

    It is crazy how you can want something so bad it can drive you literally insane! At least I know I am not the only one!!
