Well...I still have four days to go until when AF may show up but I have a bit more spotting this morning. I know, I know, there are various reasons for spotting. And in all honesty, I kind of had to go excavating to even spot the spotting. CM still creamy and yellow but the little bit of spotting I found is bright red instead of a dullish-red-brown like the other night. So who knows?
For some reason, I just don't feel as hopeful today as I did yesterday. BBs still sore but not as sore. No nausea. I've had a total systems change, too, with my potty issues - since I got sick now almost two weeks ago, I've had to stay close to the bathroom after each and every meal. Since mid-day yesterday, I'm totally blocked up. I told FD that it was like a boat where they throw the motors into full reverse.
My lower back is aching a bit more than usual, too. No cramping, although I had more of those strange twinges last night.
So I don't know...I'm certainly not the authority on how I "should" feel right now if I were to be pregnant, but I'm just not as hopeful. Argh. Have I mentioned that waiting sucks?
And yes, I did blow another CBEFM test stick this morning. Right line is again a bit darker than yesterday but not as dark as the left line. Still means nothing. I just had to pee on something! :-)
I told FD this morning that I'd had a good temperature - meaning that it hasn't dropped (yet). He asked me how soon we could test. I explained that although we could probably test now, since some tests claim to be accurate up to 5 days before you're due, it would be better to wait another few days to be even more accurate. Not sure he liked that response. I know that I don't either, but I don't want to go spending more money on HPTs that I just damn well know are going to be negative because it is still early.
Speaking of HPTs and their cost, I visited the Family Dollar store down the street last night...and definitely couldn't find any HPTs. I've tried that store and a couple other dollar stores in the past and I've NEVER seen HPTs there. But I always see people on the boards talk about their dollar store tests, so where you do guys find them??? I'm dying to know. Am I just not looking in the right places?
Anywho, off to make myself busy for the next few days...still hoping to hold out to test until Monday. :-)
Hugs,

I'm super impressed with your self-restraint -- I definitely couldn't get past 12dpo without POAS.
As for the dollar store tests, I've always wondered too. My dollar stores don't seem to carry them either. I think everyone else is making it up :) (I used internet cheapies from www.early-pregnancy-tests.com and confirmed with a EPT Certainty digital).
Most dollar stores in my town keep there HPT's behind the counter. Dollar Tree tests are sitting out and work great.
Thanks! At 33 weeks pregnant, I think I'm well beyond an HPT, though! :-)
