9DPO and fighting the urge to test

9DPO and AF due 2nd March. Fighting the strong urges to symptom spot and test. Wasted money last month with early BFNs so I am determined to wait until AF is due but the days are so long...who’s with me?

Welcome @xoJellyBean - are you a serial tester or fighting the urge?

Can I join you all 🙈🙈 I'm 9/10dpo today!

@Hopefulhedgehog It’s crazy how much you think about it isn’t it?! This is our first month TTC but with #2! It took us 17 months to conceive the first time round so would be naive to think it would happen so soon this time. Glad you haven’t caved yet! Nor have I!

@LondonladyTTC

And good luck!! I am only 2dpo so obviously havnt started any testing yet but will do on 9dpo probably, knowing me!)
Thanks! I haven’t caved in to the ICs yet but just give me another month and I might. Good luck!

This is just our 2nd month TTC but I’m finding it all-consuming! How about you @Gigi1109 is this your first time?

We do! I’m with you I’m definitely going to try and fight the urge, although it’s hard when your mind isn’t busy it’s all I think about! Yep definitely save the CB! Im finding it hard not to symptom spot though. Is this your first time TTC?

I think we torture ourselves either way don’t we!? I’m determined this month to hold out until AF is due. I only have a CB digital in the house which is helping as I don’t want to waste it.

Hello!

I’m 8dpo today and AF due 2nd/3rd. I’m on CD 34 though so really late ovulation. I’m with you hun. I haven’t got any in the house which is helping! So I’m soooooo determined to wait until next week as like you say you just end up spending so much money and my mind goes crazy

Hi OP, I have decided to not waste time and mental energy fighting the urge but only allow myself to test with cheapies Smile a cheapie morning and night if I feel like it, no point wasting time thinking about it when they are so cheap and I have a box of 25! I actually find I get more disappointed waiting as then I get my hopes up it will be positive whereas if I test at 9dpo I know it will likely be negative anyway so still have some hope, which dwindles as the days go on but at least it isn't a sudden let down. Do whatever works for you!
