If there's nothing then, its pretty unlikely. And if there is still a chance, I guess a happy surprise is better than dissappointment. @catchafallingstar: I should start doing what you do. Negative tests are the WORST!

I have a long LP so it's really annoying to be out at 12dpo and sometimes have to wait until 17dpo to get AF. ugh.

But if I weren't temping or using opk's, I would go with when AF arrives since I couldn't know O date for certain. septca on "When do you count yourself out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-count-yourself-out#post-1367505 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 14:47:21 +0000 septca 1367505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 12 DPO is the last day I test. If it's negative at 12 DPO, all there is to do is wait for AF to show (I have a 14-day LP). ineebee on "When do you count yourself out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-count-yourself-out#post-1367473 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 14:39:40 +0000 ineebee 1367473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When my temp dips, which is also when AF arrives anyway. :P hellocupcake on "When do you count yourself out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-count-yourself-out#post-1363130 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 03:26:46 +0000 hellocupcake 1363130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lately I count myself out if we don't have enough sex during ovulation week. For example, I should be ovulating Wednesday and we only had sex once this week and are probably not going to do it today or tomorrow either. I pretty much count us out until March. I am not enjoying this ttc while nursing and the husband has a horrible work schedule, lame.

I'm always slightly helpful that it's implantation bleeding, but it never has been. I don't trust tests until after a late period, so I don't bother with them.

What a waste of $$! Hopefully I will learn from my foolishness and only test around 12 or 13 dpo next time. tequiero21 on "When do you count yourself out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-count-yourself-out#post-1362888 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:28:07 +0000 tequiero21 1362888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Day of my missed period or the day before it's due. littlek on "When do you count yourself out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-count-yourself-out#post-1362869 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:13:41 +0000 littlek 1362869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Sketchbook: have you been testing? I usually give up around 12 DPO with a BFN.

I am not sure when AF will arrive because I cannot remember my last cycle and this is my first cycle of TTC so I don't have a chart. Before LO my cycles were outta whack but ever since I got my period back I though they were semi normal? I guess we'll see. lovehoneybee on "When do you count yourself out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-count-yourself-out#post-1362397 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 17:54:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 1362397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @PurplePumps: Same here. My temp always plummeted, so I knew AF was coming. I never tested early and the only reason I tested the day I did with my BFP cycle was that my temp stayed high on the day I would have normally expected it to drop before AF.

Not out until AF arrives. :) mrs. bird on "When do you count yourself out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-count-yourself-out#post-1362352 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 17:35:43 +0000 mrs. bird 1362352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 14DPO.

I started testing around 8DPO and as far as I'm concerned you're not out until AF shows!
