I am a little confused here and hope you all can help. I had my last period June 17, which now puts DPO at 23. I tested today and came up with a BFN. After I took the test it said you can't drink a lot of water before taking the test, which I did because I didn't have to go at the time. I also didn't have 10 seconds of "stream" for the test. I have all symptoms of a BFP, missed AF, bloating, cramping, nausea and sore BBs. Did I mess up when taking the test, could I possibly be pregnant? I don't know if I'm going to test again tomorrow, but would like to know if maybe drinking all that water right before taking the test really matters. If I'm not BFP, then why no AF but with BFP symptoms. You all give great advice and hope you can help.

Thanks,

Test again tomorrow with your first morning urine. That will give you a much more accurate reading. Good luck!

Thanks ladies. It's been 10 years since I've been pregnant so...I'm a little rusty. This was not a planned pregnancy, but I'm excited about the possibility. I used to work outside of the home, and now I work from home. My DD and DS missed out on having me home full time when they were toddlers and now the chance to do that with another child would be great! My kids are 14 and 10, so as you can see, it's been a while, but I couldn't have more kids with the job and stress that I was under before. I am hoping for Baby Dust right along with everyone else. I'll keep you posted.

Wow,

Glad to see I am not the only one who has been off the baby wagon for so long. And I have been driving my poor sister crazy and it has been 17 years for her. So she's no help. :-)

So I am wishing you lots of luck and hugs too! Hope you get what you're hoping for.
