I want to wait till the day after Im due really, 15DPO,

but i have loads of tests and part of me is tempted to start tomorrow at 10DPO.

Is there any point or should i get DH to lock them away till Saturday?

Hiya - I think I'm at the same stage as you Disenchanted... CD22, 8dpo and chomping at the bit to test! I just bought 10 ultra sensitive tests off ebay - and the temptation is driving me nuts!!! The joys eh? Shouldn't really expect an accurate result till Sunday but when you see charts on FF who tested day 24 with +ve - you can't help but wonder - what if?

I know!

Well I tested 2 days early with DS2 and got a positive so realllly I could try on thursday.

I know I shouldn't though!

cool I've been reading the threads fascinated - so many of them I'm like - 'me too!' It's lovely to be reassured that it's not just me that's obsessing!
TTC#1 - so many symptoms unlike AF - that gets my hopes up then crashes again with the BFN... The waiting game is a nightmare! lol...How do you stay calm and relaxed again?

PG. I'm not the best person to ask really, because i DON'T stay calm! lol

Im TTC#3

I feel sick this morning,

Did a test too, maybe there was something there, maybe there wasnt, not sure.

By the time I had decided there was something it had gone past '10 mins do not read' so Im not counting that one! lol

Morning - you up early too? Off to work for me... God - symptoms yesterday - sore boobs, veins raised, nausea but hungry, sooooo tired - falling asleep at work, tinny taste in mouth, hot flushes, dizzy and disorientated - etc... Did a test (caved in - stupid girl!) and of course BFN - way too early to test...
Today - just general feelings of yuckiness... Don't want to wish life away - but I'm like 'hurry up and tell me one way or t'other - would you?'
What fun!

Same here,

I feel mega sick... could be down to dodgy takeaway pizza last night though PMSL.

What time did you test? First thing in the morning is best, especially testing early like we (Daft girls) are.

Dunno why Im up early Im usually begging the kids to let me stay in bed, they are fast asleep!

Im going out with my sisters family and BIls family a few times this week and Im worried Ill feel sick and they will start asking questions! They know we are TTC.

But even I dont have an answer yet!

We wanted to keep this a secret when I do fall pregnant till 12 weeks, but the way Im usually sick its to obvious to anyone!

lol - we can always find another reason for any symptom can't we?
Have to admit - the sickness is not something I'm loking forward to - vomit phobia! lol - so what the heck we are doing ttc is anyones guess...
The keeping it secret thing must be difficult - I'd want to shout it from the rooftops ut then be afraid I'd jinxed myself...
At least you have outings & your 2 to keep you occupied... I have time on my hands (even at work) - so to switch off would be heavenly...
Roll on Saturday... (Bet I cave in again before then though)
