    If its any consolation, I feel exactly the same today. Iv'e been trying not to get my hopes up again and I feel like a crushing disappointment is coming my way. Im currently away with work aswell and no one is aware that im trying and im trying to put my happy face on but its really not working. I just want to go to bed and cry! Yesterday I woke up with horrendous cramping, which has been just a bit of a dull ache since, but nothing. I wish AF would hurry up and put me out of my misery. I dont even have any sticks with me to pee on to pass the time. I was almost convinced with this months flurry of BFP's I might be in with a chance! We arent even properly trying yet, so I havent been doing any significant charting, just DTD whenever we can. FF says ovulation about the 8th, made sure we DTD around then - and im due AF in the next couple of days.

    Oh well. Maybe Ill find a shop later and find some sticks. Anyone know what 'Do you have any pregancy test's' in icelandic is?!? :o Have to make sure its not a digi incase I misread the screen lol.

    Aww, Jo, thank you - it really does make me feel better that there are others feeling the same way. I think it's worse for you being away from home and having to put a brave face on!!

    If it's any consolation, when we conceived our first child (last December) we were *exactly* the same as you have been this month. No significant charting, we kind of had a vague idea of when I ovulated so DTD around then... and it worked!! Caught first try. :)

    Let's not lose faith - AF hasn't arrived yet and you never know we might just join the flurry of BFP's. (Got to at least try to be optimistic, right?!)

    And urm... funnily enough I don't know what "do you have any pregnancy tests" is in Icelandic... and babelfish is NOT helpful on that front. But at least you're savvy enough to know not to get a digi - I wouldn't have thought of that until I got the result!! :rotfl:

    Yeah, its probably because I cant go home that Im feeling a bit more off than I normally would to be honest, its not like we are expecting things to happen that quickly or anything, I just seem to not be able to help myself - I go into fantasy land and wonder if it is actually happening. Now im feeling a bit crampy and tired and annoyed generally and its not helping.

    On the positive, I have managed to translate pregnancy test into icelandic so ill probably just start walking into shops later saying it without knowing how to pronounce it. It looks like 'bungunarprof'. I think it will be a BFN but I kinda want out of my misery now! However, ill keep fingers crossed we both are wrong and are in what appears to be a BFNovember!

    Ill keep you all posted anyway. I might have to go and drown my sorrows later on horrendously expensive icelandic wine.

    Well, I couldn't take it any more and managed to find a pregnancy test in Iceland. Disappointingly, A BFN. Oh well. Onwards and upwards.

    Where I work I see loads of magpies, but never more than one at a time..

    Lately I haven't seen any magpies...

    I also saw a numberplate ending in BFP.

    I'm not superstitious but this must be a sign! :rotfl:

    Sorry to hear about the BFN - I hope you managed to source some chocolate and Icelandic wine?? As slowlyfading says, it's not over until AF arrives, so don't lose heart just yet.

    As for me... Still no AF. I am currently resisting POAS, as one app says she's due to arrive today, the other says tomorrow. I *will* resist POAS, I *will*... Off to bake and clean the house in order to keep ridiculously busy.
