Anyone else get scared to test? Don’t want disappoint

Hi
Just wondering if anyone else gets scared to test to not face the disappointment? I know lots of people here test early but I’m opposite, spend 2 weeks hoping and watching for signs and struggle when period finally comes !

Current situation.. cycle day 27 coming to end , last 2 cycles were 27 days . Worried because I started Severn seas this month and I’ve heard the b6 / folic acid can delay ovulation ? This month for first time in while I’ve used OPK and I got a positive later than I thought I ovulated . Positive was day 17 and 18, always thought it was more 14/15 due to ewcm. Happy to see no period signs yet but worried about the impact of the tablets and don’t want to get hopes up ….

Anyone else feel similar?

Yep this is me. I can never test early - Period was 5 days late in December and only tested on day 5 and period came 2 minutes after I got the not pregnant. That is the latest that it arrived but think it was down to the booster.

I am on a high dose of folic acid and it never delayed ovulation - usually around day 13/14. Trying for number 3.
I'm only cycle day 8 so a good bit to go for me.
Good luck!

For me, it comes down each month to whether I'd rather find out through AF arriving or by doing a test. Sometimes doing a test makes me feel a bit more in control, other times I'm more pessimistic and wait for what feels like the inevitable AF. Majority of the time I wait for AF.

Thanks @HellsBellsK glad it’s not just me ! Similar to you I’ve tested in past and period comes right away . So think it can be mental …. That’s why I’m putting off testing in order to put off the disappointment and enjoy the small chance of possibility that is in my mind !

I’m ttc baby number 1, after suffer an ectopic 3 years ago

Good luck to you as well
