IADBU... why can't I just pee on a stick?!

[Didntcomeheretofuckspiders]

My periods are fairly irregular. Usually they come between 28 and 35 days apart, occasionally a bit longer.

We're not TTC but also not terribly strict about contraception as we'd be more than capable of raising a child and it's definitely on the cards in the near future.

I'm now on day 39 of my cycle. Whilst this wouldn't be the longest cycle I've ever had, usually I would have done a pregnancy test by now but for some reason I just can't bring myself to do one! I don't know if it's just because we've got a lot going on and now wouldn't be the ideal time or if it's because I subconsciously know and I'm terrified!

Either way, we'd be perfectly happy, I'm just being ridiculous!

Big girl pants. Good luck op

I think it's probably because you would be disappointed if it was negative. I know exactly how you are feeling. Do you think you and your partner should talk about starting to try officially? It sounds as though you are ready

Do it already

Seriously, knowledge is power and once you know (either way) you can begin to process and plan is need be

Go and POAS woman.

Excuse the Strike out fail

Pee on a stick!

You're going to have to do a live poas thread now, you know that? good luck, hope it's the result you want!

G'wan.

It’s daunting huh? Just do it. And come back with the results.

POAS

You can do it!

We were actively trying and I was terrified to POAS! (35 weeks pg now!)
Just DO IT
And come and tell us the result please!

Look at it this way - whether you do or not it won't change whether you are or aren't

Maybe pull your big girl pants down while you do the actual POAS bit...

Oooo I was like this when I fell pregnant with dd.

We'd be ttc for years and I'd jumped the gun so many times it was ridiculous (damn you early pregnancy and pmt for having so many similar symptoms). We'd not long moved across country and chilled out a bit just enjoying ourselves and bam BFP. DP was so used to the drill he'd bought a pack of fags and a bottle of wine for the inevitable tears the same time I bought my pregnancy test

Truly there's no rush. If you are and you know you'd be happy(ish) but daunted then it doesn't really matter whether it's now or next week - outcomes the same.

Forgot to say I waited two weeks after my missed period - unheard of for me!

When I was ttc I always poas on Friday night if I was unsure as a bfn would mean I could open the god stuff for the weekend is that enough encouragement for you? If you're not you can have Friday wines
Good luck though, I think it might just mean more to you than you're trying to let on

*or just the good stuff if you're not into the god stuff typo fail

Do itttttt... Then tell us

Place marking for the piss.

I'm st work, but I promise I will in the morning!

Agree with the pp who said that it’s because you might be disappointed at the outcome. Maybe it’s time to have a chat with your other half about moving babies up the schedule?

Yy - go and POAS! 😂

Poas already woman!

Can't wait to hear

Just do it! You'll be able to manage no matter what the outcome!
