I've been reading these posts for a few days, trying to figure out what is wrong with me. It happens every month--I convince myself I'm pregnant, waste money on hpts just to be let down when I get a negative result. This time, I had unprotected sex (we used the "withdrawal" method) during my most fertile time. It's been a week, tops, DPO and I've already taken 2 hpts (negative). However, my bbs are feeling sore and sort of full. But, I don't know if it's from poking at them so much to check if they're sore. AGHH! Should I wait longer? Or give up the ghost. I have a 13 month old already, but I really want another baby. Am I crazy? Or just female? Any input is appreciated.

I go through the same thing every month. You are not crazy. I would either wait another week, which I know is very hard or go to your doctor and get a blood test. I hope this helps. You are not going through this alone. Stay encouraged and don't give up. Keep me posted! Wishing you + test results.

Best Wishes!

I am right there with you girls too! I've been testing like an idiot, I might as well crumble up a 20 dollar bill every few days and trow it out the window! I went to the Dollar store and bought 5 of them and the clerk laughed at me. I'm down to 3 now and still no + :( And Im affraid that AF has packed her bags and is headed my way for the weekend. I'm so bummed, and I know I shouldnt be but DARN IT!! I hope she stops somewhere else on the way!!! I am 13 DPO. Lets all keep our fingers crossed!

Welcome to the life as a hpt addict! I'm one myself. Usually just get bfn, so imagine my surprise when I tested early and got a bfp. Of course that was half a pharmacy full of tests ago. I think I'm keeping the hpt companies in business.

And Jen, don't give up hope yet. You're still way too early for a +. I certainly understand the desire for another child and the frustration of ttc. So I will send lots of BFP wishes your way and sprinkle you with baby dust!!!
