A ‘no testing until period is late’ thread?

after falsely getting my hopes up with an evap last cycle, I’m determined to wait until I miss my period this time and (hopefully) get a good strong BFP rather than spending days analysing squinters!

would anyone like to join me? 🤞🏻 🍀

@Mulner88 I'm the absolute worst. Constantly checking all my apps and symptom spotting everything 🙈

@Dreamingof3 oh my gosh yeh 🤣 fingers crossed it doesn't turn up! Yeh that's very true! I always say in the days leading up to AF that I won't go lurking on MN posts, as it can get obsessive but I've buckled to that already 🙈

Hi can I jump on? I like to wait until AF is late. Xx

@Mulner88 af buddies 😂 or hopefully not actually!

I have loads of tests. I just can't deal with the stress. Even if I took one now it'd be well it might be negative because its too early, or if it was faint I'd be doubting it anyway so I know it's best to wait!

I know exactly! Trying for a year now and got my first positive in March but then had a MC so even if it is positive, don't think the anxiety will go away...if anything I think worse but fingers crossed 🤞🏼 I have 2 FRER tests waiting for me and every morning it's tempting 🤣

I know, it’s so tempting! I’m determined not to be analysing faint lines again, in a way even if they do go positive it’s a bit of an anticlimax if you see what I mean - then there’s the worry of ‘what if my period comes and it’s a chemical’ etc.
Would be so much better to see 2 fat lines, or better yet a digital 😉
post on here if you need a nudge!

I really want to try and hold off testing early this month also! My AF is due Friday but seems so far away, but happy for the challenge Smile I always seem to buckle and spend so much money on tests!

Oh you’re much further on than me - CD5 here! I’ve chucked away all my cheap strip tests, each time I feel tempted to buy one I’ll just remind myself of the disappointment from last month 😬 GOOD LUCK! 🍀
