I can see where this is going until Aug 24. :)
No, don't worry, I'll probably give up all hope after 11dpo and stop posting at all!!
how can you give up hope when you aren't even talking to Jenn about testing?!
Gut feeling?
Don't lose hope yet, Kirsten! It's still early.
i am very confused!! what is DPO why are we giving up hope?????? WHAT IS GOING ON?
Jackie ~ DPO = days past ovulation (or simple terms days past making an embryo). Hope is slipping because past experience says getting closer to test day means it's important to prepare your heart for future heartache.
