Alone on a course-AF late, POAS or wait til I'm home?

Hello all

I find myself in a frustrating situation! Myself and DH have been TTC for 4 months. Each month I was getting anxious about ovulation and when AF was due so this month we decided to relax it a little.

Yesterday I realised AF was due... I am somewhere between 24-28 day cycle. Yesterday was cycle 28 and no sign of anything.

Tried not to give it much thought. However, I'm now away on a course until Friday-and I've just looked on Ovia and am actually not 1 day late but 5. I had some spotting after my period and marked it wrongly.

So I find myself away from DH, 5 days late...and I have an Asda test. This may seem like fate but I had hidden the pregnancy tests into our overnight toiletry bag when my SIL was staying so they weren't floating around in the bathroom drawer. I have just found it...

So do I poas without DH? He's suggested we wait until Saturday morning (as I'm back late Friday) as then AF will really be late and it will be more certain.

Do I do a sneaky test or wait. I am a bag of nerves. I am never late but I've been so wrong before

If you think your DH will be disappointed if you do it without him, wait. Also, do you want to face potential disappointment without him and alone in a hotel? I would wait. I know it's hard.

Thank you for your reply! And you're right of course.

I would be upset if it was negative on my own...and equally I think DH would like to be here if it was positive.

Waiting til Friday seems a world away and having (completely accidentally) bought a test with me is just painful!

Ugh. Anyway, AF will probably appear tomorrow knowing my luck!

I never did my pregnancy tests with DH! Didn't know it was a thing.

We did get pregnant first time with the two of them and I suppose I wasn't expecting to get pregnant first time (even with the second) so I did mine on the off chance I might be pregnant but I would do them like 7 days post ovulation and get positives!

I think call him and maybe FaceTime and do it?

How did you get on, @JimandPam ? Hope you got the result you wanted Smile

I did!

Thank you 😊
Did this when I got home and glad I waited as we are both elated!!
