Ohh tell me im not!

We've just had our first round of IVF.
Im not supposed to be testing til Monday (13 days after transfer) but I just cant wait that long - and frankly there's no need to with a 5 day blastocyst.
After a long negotiation with DP, he agreed I can test a day earlier, this Saturday. But what can ONE more day hurt?
He won't budge so I'm dying to have a sneaky test tomorrow and do my best Shockface.
Do I or don't I? Hmm

Just tell him you can't wait, it's today with him or today without him.

I wouldn't be able to wait. I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Some of you are awful with how you chuck aside your partners feelings. This is his baby too why can't he share the joy of waiting for a line to appear?

WinBigly · 02/06/2017 16:14

I can understand why you are gagging to do the test but why would you want to cut him out of such an important moment?

If someone did that to me I'd be very hurt, as if they felt my involvement was surplus to requirements. Not the best way to start on your (hopefully) new journey as expectant parents.

Do the right thing and wait until he's there, he might never forgive you otherwise.

If you had not agreed together my position would be "your body, your pee, your choice" but as you agreed IWBU to break that agreement,

AlansLeftMoob · 02/06/2017 16:19

Really unfair for people trying to guilt trip you here, of course it's his journey too - but you're either waiting to test on the day the clinic told you to, or the day he told you to - where's your own say?

Best of luck OP, whatever you decide.

Don't do it behind his back.

We did two rounds of ivf and after all the heartbreak we shared together of six years of infertility standing together, seeing that little box say "pregnant" was just amazing.

broodynmoody · 02/06/2017 18:16

I didnt end up doing it behind his back..i dragged him to the loo and made us do it together

It was positive Grin
