Mine isnt stress, I am actually the most unstressed I have been in months.

Don't ask me I could never wait!  I tested way way way too early with my 2nd.  I actually tested a week before my period, and it said negative or so I thought. I had a habit of saving them for whatever reason, well later that day I happened to see a line....after HOURS of it sitting there.  Sent Dh to the store and got more tests.....took them all and now I have a 2 yr old!  So go get a test or 7 and take one everyday until you get the line! LOL

I couldn't wait. I waited until I was a day late and week late, took the test and got  BFN. I then waited 2 more weeks and went and got a blood test done on Friday. Waiting for my results on Mon. or Tues. Even if you don't get a BFP a week late don't give up hope. Many women I know didn't get a BFP on a HPT until they were a month late.

If being pregnant is something you really want, it's hard not to get your hopes up.  Just try to go about your life as normal and the 7 days will come sooner than you think.  I hope everything works out for you!!!
