Anyone else expecting AF tomorrow/in a few days' time, and hoping she doesn't show up?

Gosh, AF is due tomorrow and I'm so hoping and praying hard that she doesn't arrive. I monitor my bbt very closely and AF always arrive on the same day of a bbt drop in the morning. I have been stressing every morning these few days waiting to take my thermometer reading. I even dream about taking my bbt and seeing it go down before I wake up! My husband will never understand the emotions I'm going through, so I'm hoping I can find some support with you girls out there, and we can encourage one another!
So far I'm having those typical symptoms that can be either PMS or pregnancy ones. I don't even dare to get my hopes up. Why do the wait and anticipation have to be sooooo hard?

i understand how you feel. i get sad also when i have friends or people i dont even know not even trying to get pregnant and its so easy for them and it just happens. i am happy for them but its just i want to experience the joys of motherhood as well. i aslo do the same thing staying laid down after BD. i try everything elevate my legs put them up in the air put a pillow under try to relax everything but i still have not gotten pregnant. i have been trying for about nine months. this last cycle i thought i finally got pregnant cause i was one day late and AF is usually never late. i was really getting my hopes but at the same time trying not to. but sure enough she came the next day. i was extremely sad. part of me wants to give up but i know my time is coming. i just wish it was as easy for me to pregnant as it is for other women. well baby dust to you and send some my way :-)

hey ladies! I hope everyone is doing well! I have been trying SO hard not to test, but as of today i think i am about 10dpo and I am struggling to stay away from that stick! haha. I did the same thing this month: no temps or opks; just relaxing and TRYING to just "let it happen" Still I find myself "finding" syptoms; I think my breasts are sore, maybe some cramping..?? I have no idea! I am do for AF sometime at the end of this week; I think I O'd late (by the way CM was) so it may be due more like early next week... GOD I HOPE I AM FINALLY PREGNANT!!!! One of my best friends called me a few days ago to tell me she is expecting and as happy as I was for her it made me so upset; I just thought "she wasnt even trying, and here I am with my legs in the air for 20min after each BD for the last 11 months PRAYING for a baby!" I dont want to seem like I am not happy for her but I cried my eyes out!!! Here's hoping!!

How are all of you doing?? Its been a while since I have caught up with all of you! baby dust as always!!

Ya I'll agree with illsurvive. Just wait for at least one more week after you missed your period. If you did not track your O date and have irregular period, you can easily mistake a longer cycle for an absent AF, which could be agonizing! BFN really kills! I wish all the best for you though! Keep us posted!

i would wait because BFN hurts really bad.
