Any advice on not driving yourself crazy waiting for first day of missed period

[Mumtobeno2]

So I am incredibly impatient it would seem, according to my period tracker I am 8 dpo. I did a test first thing and it was positive, despite knowing that and knowing that it's unlikely to show elsewhere after the fmu I've now done 2 clear blues which are also positive.

I have absolutely no idea how I kept my mouth shut last time when I had DD1 as I literally want to call my close family and tell them! What on earth is wrong with me? We have taken a long time to warm to the idea of trying again and our first will be 4 if all goes well and this pregnancy continues. I thought I was ok with enjoying the journey and if we had another great but if not then also great. Turns out that's not the case and I am so incredibly happy to be showing a positive. Any advice on keeping myself sane and not getting too carried away before next week and my period is due?

Last time I didn't have any of this as we weren't actively trying so only found out at week 5 following a missed period.

That’s incredibly early to get a positive. But I’m not really sure the significance of waiting til youve missed your period, if you’ve had a positive now?

Thanks for the reply. I have no idea how it's showing so soon. We are new to the world of ttc and I didn't do ovulation sticks or anything, this is just based on an app with data over my periods. My cycle can vary so it could be further along by a few days potentially. Thanks for raising it could be about a chemical pregnancy. We told parents at 8 weeks last time following a scan at the epu after a spotting and pain which had shown a strong heartbeat and reassured us so this is uncharted waters for us.
