    I don't have any advice but I totally KWYM! I actually said to DH today, "What am I going to do for the next 10 days?" Meaning, what will I do to keep myself busy and not think about testing.

    I've only been really optimistic once, but I always hold on to a shred of hope (even when there really isn't any) and I like that feeling.  I remind myself that there is a 50% chance that my hoping will pay off, but there's also a 50% chance that I will be let down.  So, I take my chances and hope until my odds get better (ie. go a day or two past my longest LP).  I also crochet and read a lot.

    I get up and pee first thing in the morning. LOL. I won't test unless I have FMU, and I keep my preg tests in my office now. 

     

    Last cycle I was 3 days late and BFN the day AF showed. I'm not even going to test this cycle until I *know* for sure I'm pregnant or not. BFN make me really sad. I'd rather AF just show, rather than see "Not Pregnant" on a test or that stark white spot where a line should be

    I am doing the worst thing possible right now. Rereading TCOYF and randomling googling question. DH keeps telling me to do something else...

    I try! I have a new DS game that I was playing, but I get distracted easily right now and keep coming back to thinking about testing!

    I wish I knew how to knit/crochet!

    I really have to agree with this. I've learned the hard way.

    This is way off topic, I know, but this link can teach you the basics of knitting.  I love to knit and it's so easy to learn.  If you have any questions, you can PM me or google.  :)  Enjoy!

    I do off-loom bead-weaving as a way to keep my hands busy :) There are tons of things like this you could start. How about scrapbooking to get ready for baby pictures?

    I've been ttc for 4 years and it still is hard! I really don't have any sure-fire ways to keep your cool! I still stalk baby stuff and have phantom symptoms! And sometimes even after getting a bfn after poas, i still try to find ways to convince myself! Don't worry!!!! You're not alone! BUT those are also signs of PMS, so consider that, also! =) The hungriness usually doesn't set in till later in pregnancy...
