Testing before missed AF

I’m 7dpo just now on my 9th cycle off TTC. I was just wondering if anyone else feels the way I feel about testing before missed AF.

I just think if I wait until the missed AF then I avoid the heartbreak of a very early chemical pregnancy probably wrong of me to bury my head in the sand though.

For instance last month I think if I tested 9/10spo I’m pretty sure it would have been positive as I’m sure I had implantation bleed but then my period arrived on time.
I always get spotting however this bleed was different I just have a funny feeling about it.

It just scares me to rest early I wish I could but I think I would be more gutted seeing a positive faint than I am when af arrives each month, am I alone on this?

Sorry what I meant is to see a positive fade not faint.

I see your point and I guess early testing isn't for everyone.
Personally, it feels important to me to know whether I've had a CP or not. It also adds a little bit of hope into the bleak TWW for me and gives me an excuse to crack open the wine if it's BFN

Lol Grin I would love to be able to because I totally get your point it would be nice to know you can actually get pregnant I just can’t bring myself to do it. I have frers and every month I debate with myself but I do understand why it’s comforting to test.

I admire your resolve - I simply cannot be trusted to be alone in the house with a FRER!

I totally agree. A BFN is way worse than AF just showing up. Also I couldn’t bear getting an early BFP only for it to be a chemical. I’d rather save my money and my sanity!!
