Well...my neuroses kicked in a few days ago and I've been testing since 9dpo...all negative, of course. Don't know why I waste the tests! I wasn't on BC the first year we were married and never had a period, but I would occasionally do HPTs just to be safe and they were always negative. I guess in a way I'm kind of prepared for negatives, since that's all I've seen. I recently started getting regular again, and I know I should just be grateful for that and the fact that I ovulated on my own.
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage....how awful. I had one at 8 weeks a few years ago....the whole thing was awful circumstances/accident, but it was still sooo hard. I can't even imagine how much harder it is for you.
I'm going to try really hard not to test this weekend. I figure the longer I can hold out the better. On Monday I'll be 14dpo, so it would at least KIND OF make sense to test then. We'll see. Power to you if you can hold out until next Friday!! Holy cow that would be amazing! Though I've heard rumors that some women don't get positive HPTs until upwards of 20dpo (insert scream of terror here)...knowing me that'll be my luck!! lol
Fingers crossed!!! I'll be checking back here for updates!
