Going Crazy - Testing too Early??

Hey all: Normally I post in the miscarriage section (unfortunately) but right now I am on the conception roller coaster and I feel like I'm going crazy. I got preggers 3x on my own and now it's been 5 months since my last mc. This past cycle I did clomid, a trigger shot, and IUI. It is 12 dpo and 5 days before my expected period. I tested this morning and got a BFN. I was wondering if anyone has tested early and got a BFN, then tested later and got a BFP? I'm just clinging to hope. My boobs hurt and they usually never do when I PMS and I'm crazy hungry all the time so I'm thinking I am preggers but who knows? I hate the waiting...It's driving absolutely nuts ...Any encouraging words?

I always tested early because I am impatient and always got BFN even when I was pregnant.

I'm 21 weeks with number 3 and even testing on the day AF was due I got BFN, It took til two days later to get BFP and even that was really faint.

I tested 5 days early (with one of those clearblue tests which tells you how pregnant you are too!!) and got a BFN. Weirdly sore/tingly boobs but that happened last month too so not convinced I could be pregnant, except that I am not majorly bloated yet (couldn't button up jeans last month I was so bloated). Only thing is, I am not convinced that I've ovulated - usually around day 21 and only managed to test ovulation on day 21 which didn't really show any surge although got fainter from the onwards so if I did ovulate it happened early.
My last MC was in February and I'm not convinced my body is back to normal and am concerned that I may not be ovulating.
I am trying to resist testing again till tomorrow night/thurs am (when AF is due, but may find I don't even need to test..). I am soooooo frustrated, especially as long cycle means that I only get 10 shots per year instead of 13!

Thanks ladies - I knew it was most likely too early. The last 3 times I found out I was preggers, I tested 1 or 2 days before my missed period. These days I'm just so darn impatient. I'll probably end up testing every morning until I either get my period or get a BFP! AAARRG.

ha this sounds like me - i have been TTC for 6 years nearly and only fallen pg once which unfortunately was ectopic. i have a 30 day cycle usually and am currently CD33!! taking 100mg clomid, on 5th attempt. tested yesterday, BFN!! am crossing my legs hoping AF doesn't come!! Good luck to you, i hope this is your month. xx

AF turned up

lucy - I'm so sorry - damn AF! Maybe she heard you typing and figured she'd make your day miserable.
6 years?? How do you do it? I assume after 2 or 3 years, you kind of give up but not really? It's been almost 2 years for me with 3 mc's and I don't know how much longer I can pretend to enjoy people just to get through the day, the week, the month...It's already been an eternity.
