Well you ladies have helped me make a pact with myself (for now at least). What is done is done (or not) and the next week I will not test early unless I begin to be sick. I may try Friday?!

If only I could detach my head for the next week it would be no problem Grin. I could really do with a sensible practical head instead of an emotionally driven hormonal obsessive head!

lovesLemon I know that's the sensible option but not sure I can hold out that long!

I can literally feel the pg test staring at me from inside the bathroom cabinet. Extremely practical DP (who never let's his heart rule his head) is saying not to test as its way too early and I'll get upset and it'll be a waste of money. I'm only on cycle 1 and have had only phantom no symptoms so I know my chances are slim. But I think I'm gonna do it tomorrow anyway!
Sorry about your BFN but it isn't over til AF rears her ugly head. When are you testing again cupcake?

How about Saturday 20/10? It is not a week day and you'll get a clear result. Moreover you'll save yourself peeing over a fiver unnecessarily.

I did one last night after being persuaded by an over excited friend it was a good idea Hmm. Surprise it was negative. I've got some cheap £shop ones but am so tempted to do earlier. This waiting is killing me!

Oooo cupcake exactly the same AF dates as me though I'm pretty sure I ovd on the 7th. Wondering when to test too Confused. Have bought a FRER which can be used up to 6 days before AF due. Thinking tomorrow would be ridiculously too soon? Not keen on testing on a week day and shooting straight off to work, whatever the outcome!
