how do you feel before testing ?

[miel]

are you nervous ?
are you exited?
are you full of hope?
you don't want to test but you do anyway
you wait the 5 days before your periods date and test or you wait until AF due ?
you test because you friend on BNB keep tell you to test?

i myself admit used to test on CD1 (on the first months of my ttc journey )even when clearly AF was on her way ( i persuaded myself it was implementation !!)

anyway now i do wait for at least the day of Af is due...but i do feel pretty nervous and full of hope when i do test...

I am a big time POAS addict. It is sad - and a waste of tests. Thank goodness for dollarstore tests! LOL! I usually feel doubtful with a twinge of hope. I start testing usually around 7DPO or sometimes sooner!

I usually feel nervous and hopefull. Na... more like PLEEEEESEEEE let this be double lines!! I am not a POAS addict, but if I have good "phantom" symptoms I have been known to test 10dpo.

Gosh, I haven't tested in so long! This time, I will start testing to the equivilent of 12DPO but my official clinic blood test isn't until 16DPO but as that falls on a Sunday, it will be 17DPO.

I think most of the time, any earlier than 12DPO doesn't show up, and sometimes even on day AF is due it doesn't show up even if it is positive.

I feel nervous and excited but try and tell myself that if its a BFN that its not over until the comes or my blood test says BFN.

I haven't tested since the MC - I don't see the point as i know I'm not PG again. In my early days of TTC, I used to test with cheapies from 7DPO, but since being placed on the IVF waiting list I haven't bothered really. At the start, I was always hopeful, but more recently it was more a case of testing to confirm what I knew deep down. When I go for my next cycle of IVF, I will use cheapies from 5 days after egg collection to see the HCG booster going out of my body, then I'll possibly wait until a couple of days before my official test day. If I get implantation bleeding again, then I'll test a couple of days after that.

I just don't bother testing any more. In fact, I was never a POAS addict to begin with. I never saw the point really. Our bodies have provided us with a very reliable, completely free pregnancy test that comes, for me, fifteen days after I ovulate. Unless that fails to happen I do no test. And then when I do I normally just feel hopeless. And then AF shows up an hour later, normally.

 

[CareBear]

I test to check whats going on really as my cycles can be so long but I tend to be resigned and don't really feel anything anymore.

I test one a month, with cynisism, I know I'm not pregnant but a little part of me keeps thinking perhaps and the one month I think I'm not pregnant that I will be etc etc lol. But then again my periods arent regular anyway. Stupid body lol! xxxx

 

[Farie]

I'd never test before 12dpo ... and since I generally have an 11 day LP I never have to worry ... AF turns up 1st

Just wanted to add this is how i approach it and both times ive gotten pg ive been like OMG! Its the 'hope for the best, expect the worst' scenario... and i too dont test a lot. I too, dont see the point, and i too dont think its worth testing until af is due..and only if something fairly weird has been going on. Having said that, after a (long ) time you've had every symptom and sign under the sun so you just get used to the fact that weirdness is appearing as a given, normal part of your cycle. Stupid indeed!

I test when AF is late, which it always is lately. Mostly I test with a sense of numbness, I resign myself to the fact there is never 2 lines, and there probably wont ever be.

Such a cynic, but it helps me feel like I somewhat have some control.

Lol I know I really have had every convievable symptom lol! It's amazing how much you didnt notice with your body before you you started ttc lol! I think I will actually faint or be sick if I ever get BFP xxx

 

[Kirstin]

I dont test anymore, I lost hope

 

[Helen_26]

I don't test any more. I know it's not going to happen naturally for me so I don't see the point in testing.

Hun i just don't test, it is hard but i will wait till AF is like 5days late now in my situation.. But im back on my meds so for sure no matter what it will be AF or on CD30 for me.....

I noticed someone has not been spotting or any AF signs... BTW

 

[krissi]

I used to test from 10dpo but now i have given up, if AF is 2 days late i test but until then i can't cope with the feeling of failure that horribke single line brings. I always feel like its sticking its finger up at me saying nope not this month either!!

 

[clara belle]

I find it easier to test and get negatives than to wait as it gets me too excited even if i am a day late - in my mind I am buying prams and at least six monts pregnant!!!!
