Scared to test 15dpo

32 replies

Leo090813 · 16/12/2020 07:52

Hi ladies

I know this may seem ridiculous but does anyone else get too scared to test in case they see a negative? I'm currently 15dpo on cycle day 29, cycles are normally 27/28 days but once has been 30! I have a first response sitting waiting for me in the bathroom and I just feel too scared to do it in case I see a negative. I've had no symptoms whatsoever, either for pregnancy or AF, I have had so many negatives in the past cycles and they get me so upset that I'm almost wondering if waiting for AF would be less painful! We've been trying for about 6/7 months now. Do you think I should just bite the bullet and take a test? Feel like I'm going insane Grin xx

I feel exactly the same! I'm 15DPO today also. I've got two first responses upstairs and had a faint positive yesterday but had a BFN in the evening.

Also, I haven't had any AF symptoms. I remember with my DS I didn't show a positive until 5 days after my period was due, even then it was only faint. So it has me wondering if I don't produce enough to show on a test.

I'm going to be the same next month. Had a miscarriage earlier this year then a chemical this month. I'm not testing until the end of January when I'll be a good week overdue! If AF doesn't show which she probably will.

Are your cycles normally regular? Is your AF late? I'm just scared my body is tricking me as I have once had a 30 day cycle which would mean I'm not technically late yet, ah it's so hard! When will you test again? X

It's so hard isn't it! Fingers crossed AF doesn't come, it's so difficult to stay positive because at the same time we don't want to get our hopes up. My partner wants to test today, but I am too scared Confused

@Leo090813 Yeah really regular, the last two periods I've had I've come on in the night so woke up to it in the morning. I'm due today and no signs yet.

Think I'll test tomorrow morning. Last night I drank loads of water before bed because I didn't want to test in the morning lol. When will you be testing??

@Whatthefudgecake Sorry to hear about that, wishing you all the best :)

Whatthefudgecake · 16/12/2020 09:21

Good luck to both of you! Everything crossed you both get your bfps! What a lovely Christmas present if so.

KSP8273 · 16/12/2020 09:22

@Whatthefudgecake You too Lovely. Here if you want to talk :)

Cinderellashoes · 16/12/2020 09:25

Look at it this way..you’re pregnant or you’re not pregnant, the test will only confirm either way. I’d have to test if I was you! At 15dpo you should get a definite answer. Good luck x

ApplePie86 · 16/12/2020 10:43

@Leo090813 I'm totally with you on this one! I basically see it as you could be pregnant until you take a test which could tell you otherwise so sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I compare it to checking your lottery ticket - basically until you check it, you could be a millionaire! Same with being pregnant 😂

Did you test? I've still got no symptoms but slight tinge when I wipe so think it's most likely AF coming late to the party Sad as too late for implantation so looks like it's onto the next cycle for me! Wish t would hurry up and come properly so I can work out my next ov day!

@Leo090813 OH gone to buy a digital so I can get a defiant answer. Still no sign of AF and woke up with really sore boobs which I have done for well over a week thats all really. Sorry to hear that!! I'm the same as you, if it's a no I want AF ASAP. Fingers crossed for you on the next cycle, I think I could be joining you xxx

How frustrating! Fingers crossed AF doesn't come and you get your BFP soon!! Keep me updated! AF still not here and I now have no tinge when I wipe, if it hasn't turned up by tomorrow I'm going to test!

BriocheBuns · 17/12/2020 14:37

KSP8273 · 17/12/2020 21:53

There's always hope til the witch comes! I have absolutely nothing, nothing when I wipe, no AF symptoms either! Tomorrow will be day 31 for me so I think if I don't come on overnight I'm going to test. I'm so nervous! My partner said I don't seem to have my normal pre period moodiness which I have to say I agree with, I feel happier than ever which tells me it's unlikely I'm filled with pregnancy hormones Shock but we shall see. Really hope AF doesn't come for either of us and we get the best Christmas present ever!

Are you testing with FRER? I felt quite excited this morning but then did another frer an hour ago and it's stark white so I don't know what to think. Still no AF here either, are you going to test tomorrow? X

Hi I'm new to mumsnet.

Currently 13dpo. Planning to test tomorrow. But yes I am also worried about testing and seeing a BFN.

Periods have always been irregular so no idea when I'm due. Last months luteal phase was 12 days. Previous month was 15 days.

We're still is shielding (have been since march) and I need to input my online shopping tomorrow for the last delivery before Christmas. So need to know whether I need to order alcohol! Lol x
