Testing soon?

[RorysMom]

I bought a 3-pack of FRERs tonight. AF due today. I will probably hold out til Monday morning. DH doesn't mind if I test, but I feel like an idiot when I test just because I'm 1 day late, then later that afternoon, AF shows.

Is anyone else testing this weekend or in a few days?

 

[StarKatie]

Lol, you feel silly for testing one day LATE??? Hahaha My name is Katie and I am a POAS addict. I have tested as early as 8 DPO, there is almost no way I could wait until I was late. You are not silly at all for testing at 1 day late. If you are silly, then I must be insane, oh wait, haha I already know I am!

I'm still waiting for o, but lots and lots of luck on your BFP soon!

AF was due to arrive today for me as well and nothing yet. My DH doesn't want me to test for a few days if AF still hasn't arrived because he hates how upset I get even though I TRY so hard not to get my hopes up. It's soo hard not to though!

 

[Jess137]

Ummm..yeah...I tested this week at (what I think was) 5dpo. So I definitely have you beat for testing early

AF might be due Monday or Tuesday but this is my first cycle off BCP so I don't know if I even ovulated. I've been on BCP since I was 15. So I might test again this weekend just because......even though it's depressing to see that .

 

[RorysMom]

I think part of why I wait to test is that I don't want DH to be completely numb to the process! We have the same schedule, so he knows when I test generally. If I tested all the time, he would probably stop paying attention altogether. Although maybe that would make a BFP more of a surprise... who knows? Either way, I totally understand those of you who test early... it's in my nature! I just don't do it.

starlight - I get that too. I still hold my breath when I poas. I don't know if it ever really gets less disappointing to get a BFN, even months when I'm not even sure we timed things right. I try not to let it bother me once I throw the test out, but some BFNs are harder than others. Maybe I wait to test out of self-preservation as much as I don't want DH to cringe when I do it. Post an update when you test, if you do!

Anyway, AF is still MIA. We'll see if she stays away til tomorrow. I started to feel AF cramps and got very sneezy suddenly last night.

test away personally I'd wait till I was late although testing 5dpo is tempting lol..

I have already tested 3 times and AF is not due until Tuesday! All of them have been BFN and It cost me almost $30...I promised myself I would wait until Tuesday to start but then my nipples got sore (never happens!) which I figured had to be a sign....gah! So much for not symptom spotting! I have already sent away for some cheap early tests off the internet as considering how bad my self control was this month this could be an expensive process.

So I am right there with you with trying to wait, although it seems like you beat my waiting by five days. Wish you the best of luck when you do test!

In a perfect world (i.e. if hpts were free), I'd make it part of my morning routine. No matter the cd, I'd just poas.

P.S. Chialla -- I love your pic!

Awww thanks Rorysmom. It was taken a month ago and was our first kiss as husband and wife. The seagulls decided to be extra cooperative

 

[starlight11]

Well day 2 of AF being late is ALMOST over and still no sign of her showing up. I think I'm going to wait tomorrow and if she doesn't arrive by Monday evening I'm going to test first thing Tuesday morning.

Fingers & toes crossed.

And sending baby dust to everyone!

 

[RorysMom]

Well, update on me: BFN on FRER this morning, but still no AF. I'm just resigning myself to the notion that this cycle is a no-go. I've had one of those long/missed cycles where I kept the hope for about 2 extra weeks, so I don't need to holding out for the witch to turn up.

However, I'm still interested to see what happens with you ladies. And I got great news today that made up for this morning's disappointment. My husband and I both got scholarships to study in Italy for 2 weeks this summer, and the place we're going to has free wine every night!

 

[Chialla]

Sorry to hear about your BFN Italy sounds amazing though! However, I hate to break it to you but that wine will be no good for you when you get your BFP next cycle!

 

[RorysMom]

If you're right, I will happily give it up.

 

[starlight11]

I'm going to be testing tomorrow morning. I was going to test tonight but Hubby thinks I should wait. I really don't know how to feel... I don't want to get my hopes up but at the same time I don't want to give up all hope entirely. BLAH!

 

[RorysMom]

Starlight, did you test this morning?
