I don't know how I'm going to make it until the weekend to test. I'm at 9dpo and freaking out. This past cycle (#6 after coming off Seasonale) finally felt right for my body and I had really good signs of fertility and I got a good OPK and our timing was excellent. Meantime, I've been spotting weirdly the past two days (7 and 8 dpo), which is an oddball time for me to spot since I have a longish (14 day) luteal phase. I'm also seeing high high temperatures the past two mornings.
I have absolutely no other symptoms as of yet and I know if I test the HCG levels will not be high enough to get a positive result, so I'm holding out until Saturday. Thank goodness it's a long weekend here in Canada. DH is already freaking out since we have three major family dinners to attend and it will stand out like a sore thumb if I'm not drinking. It's too early to tell my parents but I might tell my sister so she can help mask my non-drinking action.
I am obviously getting ahead of myself. Help me.
Update: The chart didn't lie! Very faint +hpt this morning on 13 DPO. Fingers crossed that this goes well!
Update 6 days later: It was a chemical pregnancy. We'll try again in a month or two.

If you aren't drinking, just accept a glass of whatever they offer. Pretend to nurse it and either dump some when you can or have your H swig it down for you. No matter what excuse you give, I feel like there's always speculation if you're a regular drinker. Good luck!
Good luck! I am in a similar position and know how anxious you are and how difficult it is to wait! Hoping for good news for you!
Fingers crossed for you too!
Every other cycle I have been pretty much 100% certain that I wasn't. This time my chart is giving me all the signs.
I feel good about our timing this cycle and was feeling good until today when I started feeling a little pms-y. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed though! I am leaving Thursday for a girls weekend, with lots of booze. My last LP was only 9 days, so I am not sure when I'll test yet.
Good luck! And if they ask just tell them you are getting over a stomach bug and don't want to vomit again.
This isn't a good one to use. Most people will be pretty pissed that you were sick enough that you were puking everything and still feel iffy and chose to drag yourself around a bunch of other people.

I mean once you feel better. You tell them you're taking it easy.

DH is game to get trashed three nights in a row so we're going to try to be surreptitious. I also drink a fair amount of mixed drinks so we'll bring our Caesar kit and lemonade and DH can make me virgin cocktails. If I get a positive HPT on Saturday morning then I might tell my sister.
My temps are still 0.2C high today and holding steady! Eeeee!

Then you should still be at home. There are better excuses. Don't pretend you were sick and that you are dragging germs to other people. No one wants to be exposed to that stuff. And if you try to claim food poisoning, then you will be questioned from where and what you think it was.
It's a bad choice for an excuse because it's easy to blow through or it makes you look like a jerk.

thats an even better idea good luck!! Fingers crossed
How's it going? I am in the same boat with you on spotting at 7DPO, but I'm feeling out now so I'm curious as to how you are doing!
The very light spotting stopped yesterday. My temperatures are still high. I took a cheapy test this morning at 11 DPO but nada as of yet. It's still probably too soon. I also have never gotten a positive OPK first thing in the morning so I'm not certain if I would have the same problem with an HPT.
My plan is to buy better quality tests and to wait until Saturday morning now. Waiting is awful. I also broke out this week in a crazy rash (I have really bad contact allergies) and discovered that my eczema medication is very not good during the whole pregnancy so I've been trying to get it to calm down with benadryll and hydrocortisone cream. Yikes. My face is itchy.

probably not. OPKs detect a surge that can happen anytime, it doesn't "build up" like PG hormones do.

Oh geez lady. I am totally rooting for you and sorry to hear that you feel you are out now. I have been checking on status updates to see if there was any new news. Why are you feeling out? Did something happen?

My temps have been super sucky. I'm pretty sure I'm actually anovulatory AGAIN. My RE has me coming in for bloodwork tomorrow (CD37, if I ovulated I'd be 12DPO).
