I can't help but give in.. Surprise surprise bfn at 8dpo today. I didnt think it would be positive but couldn't help myself.
I was 9dpo with DD though!

I'm not even disappointed im just annoyed with myself for pi**ing away £8.
I tell everyone dont test early..blah blah and dont take my own advice..grr..Rant over.

@BlueSpottyTiger nope trying to hold off till Friday when Af is due ( still a bit puzzled with my test I did on Sunday and the opk I did yesterday) some people are saying opk can detect pregnancy then some saying they can't. I did take a opk this morning and it come back with 2 lines again x xx

I was exactly the same, sometimes testing twice a day!! Soooooo I purchased a pack of 15 from Amazon for just over £3, then you can test to your hearts content! They are sensitive enough to do a day or day before period as well :-)

I wonder if they are the same? The ones on Amazon are the ones the doctors use if you go to them (or hospital) just a pain as you have to pee into a glass lol

I'm 11 days post ovulation and trying to hold out as long as possible. Having to hold myself back from buying pregnancy tests as I'll know I'll use them too early.

Convinced myself I'm pregnant though as my sex drive has massively increased!

Fingers crossed for your BFPs.

Don't do it girls,I'm a recovering poas-aholic!! The tww is still crap if you don't early test but I find it's less disappointing to know I'm not pregnant with arrival of AF as I'm now on a new cycle and can shift focus to the next attempt. Those BFNs from early tests are so crap because you keep building up hope, dashing it, refusing to believe the result and doing it all over again. I still am tempted to every cycle but I'm so much happier when I don't.

Don't want to spoil anyone's fun, just my hard earned knowledge as I continue TTC #2 for over a year x

You're right cola, but it's far too tempting for an impatient person like me lol. I just want to know one way or another...I guess only time will tell xx
