Should I take a test the morning of my wedding?

[salviapages]

I'm getting married tomorrow (or today since it's after midnight!)

We've been TTC for a few months. My period is due Tuesday and is pretty reliable so tomorrow is 3 days before period due. My boobs have been really sore for a few days.

Do I take a test in the morning?

If it's positive it would be such an amazing start to my wedding! But even if I am pregnant it could be negative since it's early to take a test and I could feel disappointed. I have a clear blue I can use.

I'm so torn about whether to test. I wish I could post a poll! Tell me yes or no!

I wouldn't. Enjoy the thought you might be, or if possible just focus on the wedding. If it's negative it might taint the day...

Don’t do it yet one major life event at a time. Even if it’s positive you don’t want tell anyone else anyway and it be hard keep secret. Or one person gets wind and it spoils the day. Wait until later and then celebrate when you can tell people in 3m.

Will it impact on your desire / enjoyment of drinking etc? If the thought of potentially being pregnant might stop you doing certain things on the day then I would take a test.

Oh wow this is exciting! Personally if it was me I’d do it (and 5 others probably) but I have no patience and went through A LOT of tests in the three months we were TTC. Although I think if I knew I’d struggle not to make it obvious I was acting weird all day. I found it hard enough just to go to work after it 🙈 There’s also the issue that if you really want it and it’s negative you might be a bit deflated 😕 but as I say, if it was me I would take a handful 😂

Maybe get a glass of champagne, do the test, if it’s positive then amazing news, day made, pour it down the sink.. if it’s negative, you can cheers yourself and start drinking from then on 🙈

I would test.
Huge congratulations for your wedding tomorrow! Hope you have a fabulous day and a wonderful future together

Do you drink? If so I’d take one or you might feel apprehensive about enjoying yourself.
If not, why don’t you take one the day after your wedding?

Do it! Do it! Do it!

Ps good luck with the test and the wedding c

I wouldn’t test. Enjoy the day focusing on you and your husband and all those who love you.
Test the morning after!

No, I wouldn’t.

Enjoy your wedding day because it’s your wedding day.

Test once your period is actually late.

I wouldn’t. If it’s negative, that’s not something you want to be processing. Just enjoy the day as it is and the possibility that you might have a little addition soon. Test in a few days, if it’s positive you’re in your newly wed bubble and it’ll be fantastic for the two of you to soak it up. If it’s negative you have a few days with your husband to feel sad but you can both distract yourselves with your wedding memories.

In terms of drinking, if you are pregnant then this have absolutely no impact on the baby as it’s far too early. You can also mix soft drinks in with your alcoholic drinks. I did this at my wedding (not pregnant or TTC), there’s so much build up to the wedding and you’re so busy talking to your guests that most of the time I just needed something to actually take away the thirst and the little bit of alcohol just made me sleepy.

Good luck for your wedding later. I hope you have the best day.

I'd just focus on your wedding

I would take it because you'll be thinking about it all day if you dont and even if its negative your wedding day will cheer you up! And if its positive then good all round!

Don't do it. God no. Just enjoy your wedding day, drink if you want to, and have the time of your life. The test can wait.

I think I'd test... Have a lovely day whatever you decide!

I think it depends entirely on how disappointed you would be. If you’d be like “Okay, not this time, on with the wedding!” then I’d test because otherwise I’d think about it all day anyway.

But if you’re likely to let it spoil your day if it’s negative, I’d wait

Test! I was very newly pregnant at my wedding and it was quite nice to know DD was with us (but a bit scary being lifted on chairs - Jewish wedding!)

Having said that, the wedding would have been just as special if I hadn't been pregnant.

I wouldn’t
Focus on the day that it is and enjoy it.
I’d test day after.

Did this recently actually for SILs wedding

Depends how disappointed you'll be if it's negative I guess. If you'll be fine either way then go ahead!

I'd enjoy your wedding day and test if your period is actually late. Otherwise people will wonder why you're not drinking. This way you can still enjoy the fizz and still have something to look forward to doing next week.

I was 5 days late when we got married - but decided not to do a test until the day after as I didn’t want to know either way in case if made me change how I felt on the day

DH said it was probably stress

DD is now ten and loves telling people the story of how she was at our wedding

Personally I wouldn't test. Enjoy your wedding day for what it is. If it's negative you'll be shattered and it will taint your day.
If you are like some of the women on MN you might get line eyes and stress yourself. You likely won't drink which will let everyone around you know you might be pregnant and then that invites lots of potentially sad questions.

You and any potentially baby won't share a placenta this early on so drink to your heart a content, enjoy your day and have fun on honeymoon- if AF doesn't arrive it's a cute story. If she does you had a great day.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

On a related aside I really don't understand the obsession with early testing. It doesn't change the outcome all it seems to do is create unnecessary stress and heartache

Wow, how exciting! What did you decide, OP? Good luck for today, hope you have an amazing time 🎉
