Why Do I Do This To Myself?

I broke down and tested yesterday because I'm weak...BFN. Not a total shock. But the thing is...I was only 11DPO, but I thought I was 12DPO so now I seem like even more of a dork! WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF EVERY MONTH????? Where's my padded room? *runs away screaming*

That being said, it isn't over until that nasty Aunt Flo shows up, so continue to hold a good thought. I will.; August 13, 2007 at 11:15 AM
