I am 12-14 DPO as track using CM so can never be 100% sure. We have been TTC #1 for ages and I have been pretty calm about it for the past few months, haven't even been on MN! But this month I have gone bananas all over again. Can't put myself through the disappointment of yet another BFN so am trying not to POAS until at least Wednesday! My fake symptoms so far are:

Burning boobs - although I have been squeezing them lots to check if they are sore Blush
No pink tinge when I wipe which would normally have happened by now
Feel knackered
Had terrible cramps on 7-9DPO and then dull cramps ever since

Please someone join me so that I don't have to go quietly insane by myself Grin

I've been quietly going insane for 10 months now. Am late every single month. By between 7 and 21 days. It was like this when ttc DS which took a year. Every month I get to the point were I think maybe, just maybe, then I psych myself up to getting a test and lo the period makes an appearance. Also every time I get the symptoms (tired, queasy, sore boobs) but all for nothing :(

I'm hoping for a bfp soon for us all before we get carted off by the men with butterfly nets!

hello yes I'll join you, I am totally feeling the crazy this month!. AF due 31st/1st but am also v tempted to POAS tomorrow. I'm usually of the 'wait until AF is due' school of thinking, but I think i'd;like to get in there ahead of her this month! Had loads of imaginary symptoms so far, including tiredness, lots of saliva, cramps, and the best one - feeling a baby kick in my dream the other night?! Grin

fx for you both!

Ok now I am going mad, i'm trying so hard to convince myself that i'm not pg but now i've a taste in my mouth like i've been chewing a teaspoon... is that how others would describe the much famed 'metallic' taste? Or maybe it's the coldsore cream I just applied, or maybe the coldsore is a symptom grrrr!

Hi chocoloulou glad i'm not alone, i've been googling and apparently there is an 82% chance a BFP would show up at 12 DPO so FX for you! If I still have no pinkness 2moro I think i'll buy a test, nothing can be worse than this limbo Hmm

I've also realised i've had indigestion the last 2 days but I have switched onto apple & cinnamon tea so could be that ha ha!

Anyone else out there want to SS with us?
