    I'm 8dpo today. My temp spiked today, and I feel flu-like. There's also lots of people getting sick around here right now, and I started using progesterone cream a few days ago, so it could be that finally my temps are being normal.

    I'm afraid to test. I just don't know if I can muster up the courage to see a BFN.

    Woot woot, @CarrieandRoy ! Glad he was "up" for it. Haha. (Favorite little joke around here).

    I'm planning to test tomorrow morning and I am SOOOOOO nervous. Feeling hopeful, but also reminding myself it may be a bfn. I just want to know. And have 24 hours before getting to my family to deal with the news one way or the other.

    Congrats @agillespie15! What great news!

    Sadly, I can't continue the trend. Just got a BFN. And, to add insult to injury, AF showed up when I wiped after doing the test. Blergh. Off to take a shower and cry and try to pull myself together for my 12 hour work day and an evening of getting ready to go on our trip. I really thought this was going to be it. I am so disappointed.

    Thanks, @carrieandroy. Really wishing at least I had chosen one of the CHEAP tests to pee on! Haha. Trying to pull up my big girl panties and not let this be a shadow hanging over a trip I've been looking forward to all year. Small silver lining: I can eat and drink whatever I want? Totally doesn't make up for it (or for traveling while on my period), but I've gotta find what I can....

    ETA: I'm gonna go have pie and ice cream for breakfast. I deserve at least that, right? And another silver lining-- a big in-person-hug from my mom tomorrow. REALLY need one of those.

    @emsmama15 I don't think so, I'm expecting my temp to drop again tomorrow. I think we're realizing that we need to see an RE. My man's autoimmune disease could be the likely culprit for the losses and the difficult time getting pg again. I'm just trying to take all of this in. I feel very sad and angry and even selfish right now. Today I'm reading up about male infertility. He's only 29. It breaks my heart.
    We officially started a strict Paleo diet. I know that will help my health and I'm hoping his health improves too.

    Thanks @thistle8677 and @emsmama15. I've been fighting tears (more and less successfully) all day. And, weirdly enough, AF still hasn't really really shown up. Spotting right when I took the test and now nothing. Part of me wants to hope that the test was wrong (I could be part of the small percentage, right?! Ha!) but I feel like that will just be setting myself up for another disappointment.

    And, @thistle8677. I'm sorry about the temp drop. I hope the paleo helps you and your man!

    Tough times. Hang in there! So grateful for a community that gets it. And where there is no such thing as TMI. ;)

I'll keep my FX for you both still! I can't wait for the days that I see you all write BFP in all caps!
