TTC - over 2 years, no luck. I'm 4 days late. Had a bit of cramping but not bad enough to notice really. Do I go home and test or live in blissful ignorance until the weekend or wait until AF shows up (letting my dream live a little longer) I can't face another BFN ! Help Confused

I'm at two years too. If you can wait, I would! Testing doesn't make you pregnant (or not) so the result will be the same in a few days...

I know how hard this is to deal with how hopeful you are and then how it always comes crashing down. I can't stand bfn either.

Keeping everything crossed for you @Pleaseletitbemyturn

I vote live in blissful ignorance if you can cope with not knowing.
If you work and you did get a BFP, could you contain your excitement? If it's negative, can you contain your disappointment in the week?
Fingers crossed that it's a positive when you do test though

@Pleaseletitbemyturn I'd wait a bit longer if you can. If BFNs are stressful then better to be patient. 🤞

I had the exact same last month after trying for two years, OP. I have quite long cycles so I just waited and waited and when I finally tested I got the strongest positive I've ever seen, I must have been about 20dpo.

Exact same here. 14 months of trying and now late. Waiting for AF and can't face another bfn so just avoiding testing. Good luck.

Glad I didn't test ..... woke up this morning and the lovely AF arrived. Would I be wrong to wake DH up and ask him to make me tea? Or should I put my big girl pants on.... literally and get up and get on with the day? (Currently in bed contemplating calling in sick)
