Ladies.. need opinions pls. To POAS or not to POAS! Last 4 days has been super light, light brown spotting. Today is CD26... Last cycle was 26 days, previous was 28. Still no AF. All the crazy symptoms that are indicative of something hormonal but who the hell knows what. Last two cycles had lead up spotting but it was heavier and darker. So... wait til Saturday or POAS? Decisions decisions! And if I do, would it behoove me to wait and use FMU?
Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: still waiting for AF, she should have been here yesterday but still nothing no cramps like I usually have by now and lots if BFN's so I have no idea what AF is waiting for! I'm waiting for that bitch to get here so I can move on already!
GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried? I'm not very adventurous at all.
Me: 30 DH 28
TTC since March 2013
DH, SA normal count, slow swimmers
NTNP as of 7/1/14
Back to TTC as of 8/2014
1st RE appointment October 2014, everything looks good both of us healthy and normal
Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: my grandma passed away this morning. I am selfishly sad that she is gone, but happy that she comfortable now. I am going to miss her and her and her wit and wisdom a lot. Helping my mom take care of her in the last few months has been an honor.
GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried? DH and I went with some friends to an exotic foods dinner a while ago; it was a benefit for a local charity. We had squirrel, bison, deer, rabbit, and goose. It was all really good.

Are you temping or tracking O at all? Cycle length doesn't really mean much (my last cycle was 30 days, this one will be 40 because I O'd late). Mine have ranged 27-45 days.
I'd say POAS tomorrow with FMU...since from the info you've given I don't know how many DPO you are, FMU will be the most concentrated so I suggest waiting till then. If you're only 11 DPO, for example, you may not have enough HCG for a test to pick up at all, or just barely enough in your FMU.
Just saying, this situation is exactly why I started temping LOL. then I knew when something was up versus when it was just going to be a long cycle.
------- I didn't but I will be! This is ridonkulous! I will swing through the dollar store and pick up a few to keep on hand. Thanks for the grounding words!
CD/DPO:17/3 (I think 3dpo can't be sure thermometer died and I just started temping again)
Timing: cd 12,13,14,15
Testing Plans: wait for AF to show, if she doesn't I'll pee on things

I want to try eating a durian... We invented a game called the "durian challenge" but have yet to do it. Perhaps at my birthday BBQ.

@bostonbakerr- I am the same way.. so impatient. I KNOW it's going to be negative, but I just feel the need to test anyway.
@noodlehead05 - Congrats!!! Happy and Healthy 9 months to you!
@crazycupcake52- could the wondfo be an evap line? Like PP said, 10 dpo is still early so I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!
@oem617- forgive me, but I am completely blanking as to who you were. Your siggy looks familiar, but I can't remember!
@DarcyHermione -- don't count yourself out yet-- it's still early girl!
@Kredd88- I will always vote to POAS and I would wait for FMU just in case.
@Gigi0308- I am so sorry for the passing of your grandmother. I just lost mine last week. I totally understand your feelings of sadness, yet happy that she is at peace. ((hugs)) to you.
Testing Plans: Tomorrow or Saturday since I'm leaving for vacation.
Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: My boobs have been super sore the last two days, which is abnormal for me. And I haven't even wanted my usual glass of wine each night since like Sunday...I'm glad, since I chose to give it up this close to testing. Oh and I so ate a pint of Ben & Jerry's on the way home from work...don't judge...lol.
GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried? I am pretty picky....I ate alligator once when I was younger, my dad told me it was a pork chop.
Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: I'm only 4dpo, but I had the worst cramps of my life today...felt like I was in middle school again! It was so bad I thought I was going to be sick. I had to keep praying through it! After so long without a period, i had to tell myself that this is what I've wanted, so deal with it!! FX for a longer LP than the last two cycles!!
GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried? Shark and calamari I guess
