@wvarn, go with your rational self, I have everything crossed that it's just too early
@hooligans4, I can't wait to hear about your happy positive!!!!! I have a good feeling about it
I had to go to the dentist this morning so I tested again. Still nothing. But my temps haven't dropped and I've had a consistent 12 day LP for the last couple months and today is (maybe) day 13, so who knows what'll happen. I'm gonna pee again if AF still doesn't show up by Christmas.
@flyliceandcoffee I don't have a snowball's chance in hell but I am peeing on a $5 bill on New Years Eve (ok, actually a FRER but it feel's like it) if I am still in the never ending cycle just so DH and I can feel ok about whatever we choose to drink.
So I'd say my story makes you POAS if no AF by Christmas completely rational... I am FX for you. I need everyone on this board to get BFPs so they can drag me along somehow.

@hooligans4 sorry you're out. I think I am too, but still no AF. I've tested twice with 2 BFN. I have no symptoms what so ever, No PMS no nothing. I've never had a cycle without PMS! I've been doing acupuncture and started on Chinese herbs this month so my acupuncturist says that is a good thing, that means they're working. Ok fine, I guess that means I'm not getting a BFP this month... ARGH!
I'm sorry @hooligans! I was so hoping for a fabulous Christmas present for you.
@Teenie16, when was your IUI? I kept thinking it was on 12/14, but I just realized it was 12/2014. I'm also sorry you're out. Happy you don't have PMS though! (bright side).

Thank you ladies. I hope we get to see a few more Christmas BFPs or even New Year BFPs (I know there are a few of you here too)
@vh2014 I go to acupuncture once a week. I started seeing one that treats everything, but mainly focuses on pain, and went to her for about 6 months. Then found one that specializes in fertility. And she started me on herbs.they taste like diet and curry mixed together but if they're "working" I'll keep taking them. It is nice till not be bitchy, bloated and ravenously hungry.
@emsmama15 Thanks for asking. Sorry it was unclear. Yes it was supposed to mean December 2014. AF is supposed to show up today... If she is going to rear her ugly head I hope she does it in the next couple hours. Otherwise we'll have to wait another month.
@teenie16 - I did acupuncture when I got pregnant the first and second time. I totally believe in alternative medicine all the way! I am expecting AF today and have taken 2 FRER's with BFN's (one yesterday FMU and one this morning). Still holding out hope! Merry Christmas everybody

I'm still here... I did a cheap blue dye test this am at work with not FMU and its still showing neg. I still have not had a temp drop yet. I get to go home and go to bed after 8am, but have to be at my parents house at 2pm and it is an hour drive away so very little sleep today, But FX that temps stays up. I just think that if I was pregnant I would be turning a test by now.
good luck @wvarn!!! I hope it's a positive for you.
I think my body hates me. I've been spotting some yesterday and more today, but my temps are still going up so who the hell knows. I did pee this morning on a FRER and I "maybe" saw a vague hint of a line, but I think I might've been imagining it. I'm holding off on calling it one way or the other until either AF shows up or I get a definite positive..........
@flyliceandcoffee - FX for a BFP! I'm having the exact same issues! Two BFN's in a row and no AF when it was due today. I'm having all my usual AF symptoms so I think it's coming but I'm praying that I get a BFP tomorrow am. If I get a BFN tomorrow am, I'm going out to buy some digitals.

Oooh @flyliceandcoffee I'm crossing my fingers and toes for you. If you saw a squinter it sounds promising. Still no AF for me but I'm not testing again for another week then I will put a call into my doctor. Good luck to he few that are left.
thanks ladies. The test showed a faint but distinct pink line when i looked at it again a couple hours later but I'm not counting it because duh it was a couple hours later. We're going on vacation tomorrow until Monday so we'll see if I get to pee on anything between now and Mon, but we shall see! I may not have access to the internets for the weekend, so I'm not ignoring you all I promise
I'm stepping away from the pee sticks. Still BFN. No temp drop no period. 14 DPO today. I guess I'll retest once a week and either wait for period or 60 days to hit then I'll see a dr.
@wvarn we are in the same boat. It's torture isn't it. I havn't skipped a period since I went off the pill 9 years ago. I don't like this one bit!!!!!! I don't temp anymore so I'm not watching my temps stay high but it's killing me everyday waiting for my period and it isn't showing up. Right now I wish I was still temping so I would know more what the hell my body is doing. Keep me posted.

sorry I didn't have a chance to update until now! Unfortunately it isn't the good news we were hoping for. There are like NO drug stores that sell hpts in South Dakota!!! We finally found a store on Sunday, so I peed on Sunday evening. After the allotted time frame, we looked at the test and there seemed to be a very very very faint line again so we were cautiously optimistic. The plan was to take another test first thing in the morning since it "should" be darker. But, AF showed up that night. Sooooooo, it looks like it was a chemical pregnancy here. boo. I was so hoping for our Christmas miracle.

I'm sorry @flyliceandcoffee. I had a CP earlier this year and it sucks. As soon as you see a glimmer of hope AF shows up and squashes it. Still no period for me but got yet another negative today so I guess this is just one messed up cycle for me. And to boot I'm sick. Can we all just throw a pity party, I will bring the whiskey.
thanks ladies. you all are a great support and I'm glad I joined this board and yes @hooligans, let's definitely partake in that pity party with alcohol! I've got some great CO whiskey waiting to be had
I have been MIA. I had a longer LP than I had ever had. Kept testing BFN. I had high hopes but it didn't work out. My maternal grandfather passed away on his own birthday on the 27th. He was 79 And I started a few days later. We just had the funeral today so I'm in a pretty bad place right now. I'm thinking lots of alcohol. He had been sick for 2 years. I know he was not happy having to be bedridden and have us taking care of him. I know he is not in pain anymore but I'm selfish damn it. I hurt for me. I hurt for my grandmas, I hurt for my mom. I just hurt.
