Trying to stay positive..

Well hello ladies, I HATE this whole waiting game.. I am on CD25, I'm not sure when I O'd or anything for that matter, I need to start using OPK's or start charting my temps.  My cycles have been at the shortest 24 days and at the longest 28, I usually have a lot of cramping, I have had a little bit but not really enough to account for. Other than that I haven't really had any pre-af symptoms or anything.. its kinda wierd usually I'm cramping pretty good and all of that.. but   I broke down and took a test on CD23 and of course it was a negative, too soon right?? do I still have some time here?? I'm thinking about taking the other test tomorrow or Friday depending upon if I don't start or not, I know it'll still be before CD28 seeing how that was the longest, I know that the HCG doubles every 48-72 hours usually so I'm thinking Thurs or Fri, so we'll see.. what do you guys think?? I was really hoping for a BFP this month but now I'm getting a little discouraged.. We've sat down and talked and we're thinking about starting the OPK's with the next cycle, providing this one is a bust..

Hopefully you'll get your BFP this month and won't need the OPK's.  But I would definitely do the OPK's and also chart.  It helps to cross reference each other because otherwise I would have no clue about what's going on with my body.  

Good luck!

That's my next route - I have been temping but I feel like I want something more - something to PREDICT not just inform me AFTER the fact.
So I'm looking into getting Answer OPK - a tube of 20 test strips
Good LUck  and baby dust!
