Your period was real. You don't need to test on CD2 just in case. You are not having symptoms at 3dpo. You will not turn a test at 7dpo. Not tomorrow, either.
Post here if you need someone to talk some sense into you!
hahahaha so glad I'm not alone in thinking, "well, maybe that last period wasn't real.... I mean, I know my temps are low again, and now they've risen, and I have new CHs, but what if I've been pregnant this whooooole time???" lol lol
Yep, the struggle is real. I'm 7-8DPO today and in the back of my mind is, "I *could* have implanted at 6DPO, so I miiiight just get a faint BFP tomorrow or the next day...."

YAAAAS! ugh.... I want to test every hour on the hour. Me last week (5 DPO): "Omg I've been feeling dizzy lately! I must be pregnant...can't be the fact that I am 8k ft above sea level and get altitude sickness"
I wasted TWO pregnancy tests today at 12dpo because once I start testing, I can't stop. This is why I should just wait for my period to start. If it's negative with FMU why do I think it's going to magically be positive three hours later after I chug a bunch of water?
(for those who don't TWW with me, my LP is 14-16 days so the test struggle is real)
I've been lurking since I've introduced myself but this is exactly what I need to stop myself from peeing on all of the sticks until I'm at least 2 days late (we'll see if I can hold out until Saturday). I've cracked up at all of them so far and I'm not even going to try to gif but here's mine: Possible TW
As of now I'm subscribing to the "drink till it's pink" way of going about my life: I've needed to tell myself this after 2 eventful nights immediately 1-2 post O (I think) the past 2 months- No, it isn't morning sickness and the sudden visceral reaction to the smell of bacon cooking isn't a symptom. You are not KU you are hungover.
Your boobs aren't sensitive because you're pregnant. You haven't even ovulated yet (this is directed at me)
ME, TOO, girl, me, too.
*Giant, terrible AF last week. *No temp shift *Peeing on OPKs 2x/day since CD2. *Every last OPK stark white. *FF is NOT personally out to get me by being honest about a short LP. *U/S doesn't lie about ovulation. yup, survey says I am Not KTFU.

This reminds me of a particularly embarrassing moment from my most recent TWW when I was super excited for a second thinking my breast was tender...then I realized it was hurting because I was inadvertently squishing it between my arm and the frame of the door I was standing in. Also that was it was only 4 DPO and I seriously needed to cool it.
@jrm_14 OMG DED @ "Spoiler alert my own cm" This thread is EXACTLY what I need right now it speaks to my soul (read: specific brand of crazy)! @arieselle as much as we appreciate the overly cautious TW, no need for it in this instance cancer, death, loss, rape, etc use a tw. Kid talk, sometimes tw, I usually do just in case. @doxiemoxie212 OMG get out of my head! Obviously I'm one those people that the "normals rules" don't apply to that's why I don't get bfps, and I still get my period, but obviously I TOTES ku since March!

Confession....wayyy back when I was a young, spry TTCer, my boobs were sooooo sore and I ***knew*** it was pregnant. Wrong. They were sore because every 5 minutes for the whole day I would press on them to see if they were sore and by the end of the day, they were.
The next day I noticed my boobs were bruised....from me smooshing them all the previous day.
Myself a few cycles ago: "that's not spotting, it's ib. For three days in a row. Holy buckets I must be have triplets!" It's essentially "science". *Facepalm*

@lurvleybunchococonuts and @doxiemoxie211 Still trying to figure out how to do everything on mobile ETA: a lot got cut off but I guess the TLDR version is. I'm not sure if my drink till it's pink would offend anyone- still trying to get the feel of things and want to be cautious
@Augusta108 hahahah omg. I had a similar moment today. I was cooking and kind of leaning on the oven. I have an old fashioned oven with actual knobs that's stick out. I was convinced I was feeling implantation cramps, but it was just the pain of that knob pressing into my abdomen...so I'm an idiot...
@RVAmom515 hahaha I'm just glad I'm not the only one with that thinking @arieselle no worries, I'd go batty without the drink til it's pink mentality. Some tww I do, some I don't. In general it's personal preference and leave it at that

@lurvleybunchococonuts@arieselle I mean, the only reason I didn't test before my missed period last month was because I wanted to drink in Napa on my birthday so I'm rullllll responsible over here...
@dragonette505 when we were benched/TTA for like 9 months, I made DH wear condoms or pull out (the -- let's be real -- rare times we had sex) even when I knew I'd already ovulated.
Who else is CURRENTLY drinking? I'm two ciders deep. Considering a third. Home by myself. On what I think is maybe my 50th episode of Grey's Anatomy in a row?
@spottedginger Cheers! ugh I'm so jealous - I'm not allowed to watch BIP without DH because he sees it as some kind of MAJOR BETRAYAL but he's perpetually at work this week so I guess next week we'll just watch BIP for a million hours straight.
(I guess it could be worse lol, next week sounds pretty dope)
This thread is fantastic. I'm guilty of thinking to myself, that period was shorter than usual totes KU. Just enjoy a shorter period and shut up. And have googled IB at 12 dpo before. Just accept it.
@spottedginger (ps I'm also a spotted ginger!) clearly we are twins! @doxiemoxie212 I'm guilty of this too, but ummmm. Basically I lied to dh that it was possible to get ktfu because I was feeling lazy and (tmi) didn't wanna deal with mess lolol
I love this thread, it's making me feel less crazy!
I'm almost the opposite though - everything is a sign that I have something that will make sure I never concieve. "This doesn't seem like enough cm." "My BBTs seem too low." "I don't think my cervix ever feels open enough." "I was sweaty last night, it must be low p."
