Anyone with me!!!! I am dying to test but i've been contemplating! Im so worried it'll end up in CP like last month. DH told me not to test until AF is due. But this is driving me INSANE. I just got this feeling i'm pregnant maybe it wasnt true and i'm dying to find out! ConfusedConfused

Oh gosh don’t do it OP!!
I know your pain and I tested at around 9dpo and got a BFN as expected.
Now my period is actually late and I’m terrified to test!!
Don’t put yourself through it or you’ll end up like me haha!

Thank you and I hope this month is your lucky month too!
I’m scared of being disappointed again especially as my cycles are occasionally all over the place and occasionally very long! Been having period cramps every day for the past few days only lasting a few seconds which is odd for me but I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Have you been having any symptoms?

Please don't do it just now. I'm 7dpo and after testing so many times last month and disappointed every time even though I was convinced is a much harder disappointment.

I'm reading other peoples threads where they are testing from 5dpo and pulling tests apart trying to convince themselves there's a line/indent etc because they want it so badly. Any then comes the influx of "I see it" or "there's nothing" and being crushed is sad for them.

@Pennydreadful86 do you use opks and period app to track ur cycle? Don be dishearten, im sure you will get your BFP in no time! Just do the test, ii pray you will get your litle rainbow this cycle!

I've slight spotting on and off for this past 2 days, cramps, rising of resting heart rate and also weird smelling urine, its not smelly but i just cant define it... Lastly tender boobs that comes and goes. Totally different from my chemical last month except the rising heart rate and i had severe cramp last month!!

Hahahaha @Michellebops i totally get you!! I've seen some post where people tear apart their test for reassurance. I don know how to react to it but i know its especially hard for them as we are all trying hard to get our BFP..

I'm trying hard not to test early too! Its driving me crazy as i am feeling kinda "pregnant" hoping i am!!! GrinGrinDo you have any symptoms so far??

Thank you! I don’t track my cycle religiously- only with period apps which isn’t exactly accurate! So I’m not getting my hopes up!
Interesting about the smelly urine...I’ve had the same!!!

Take an early detection test 5 days before period is due

6dpo. I work in healthcare, I should know better... BUT OMG I want to test every day! I'm 35, we conceived the first month last time and I've got so much going on that constant BD is a real scheduling problem. Praying for a BFP! Good luck to all of you ladies!

I’ve been testing since 5dpo, I have no willpower Grin

I totally get it! But don’t test yet, it’s just a waste of money and so disheartening. 7dpo here and absolutely no symptoms at all 🙁

This isn't helping you guys but I got a positive at 10dpo, may have ovulated before that though as it was only a guess.

@Whisky2014 the problem with a FRER for me is that I appear to have a 10 day luteal phase! Six days before is 4dpo!
