Just had a lecture from mine who, in his wisdom (bearing in mind this is the person who wants to know nothing about ovulation, charting etc so has no idea what he is talking about) has told me the following:
1) I was setting myself up for a fall testing early and should know better
2)That next time I should wait until I am 2 weeks late before I test to avoid disappointment
Now, while all this came from the right place (he doesn't like seeing me upset) he clearly has no idea. I tried to explain that when you have loads of symptoms it's really hard to wait - and that 2 weeks late isn't necesasry as most tests will show up after a couple of days not a couple of weeks!
I used the analogy of having an envelope with really important exam results in on your mantlepiece but being told you can't open it for a fortnight!
