To Test or Not to Test...

And I know the answer from all of you will be TEST!! I am 12DPO and up to now have tested with Dollar store cheapies almost everyday since 5 DPO. I did use a FRER on 8 DPO and so far all of them have been BFN. My original plan was to test with my second FRER this am as I am due to start AF tomarrow but changed my mind when last night my CP was slightly lower than it had been and was slightly open. I honestly thought I would wake to AF spotting this am but of course no, nothing. I really don't know what to think and feel mentally and emotionally prepared for either AF or BFP but it just didn't feel like the right thing to do this am. So my question to all of you, which I know may be silly, should I wait a few hours to pee and then test or wait til tomarrow morning with FMU? Or should I wait til Friday when I would be two days late and 14 DPO to test? I am just so confused!!!

I know I don't usually say this... but I say wait till 14dpo. Or if your cervix isn't soft tomorrow, test then. A sure sign of AF for me is cervix changes

I hope your cervix was just relaxing a bit and gets into baby growing position

LOTS of

coming your way.

I say test now, if you are ok with seeing a bfn. Otherwise I say way until 14dpo to test and hopefully by then you will get your bfp!! Good luck with whatever you decide. Just don't be too let down if it doesn't show up just yet.

lol Looks like im the tie breaker. Id say test tomorrow if af doesnt show today. Since then you will be 1 day late, and it is a compromise

Good luck honey.

LOL!! I just got home from MOPS and came straight to the computer even though I have to pee really bad. I wanted to see what all your advice was and basically figure you all would have said to test after holding it a few hours. I feeling better about things right now as I still don't feel like AF is coming and I am dead tired again. However my bbs had been sore and now today not so much which really doesn't make any sense to me either as they generally hurt whether or not I am pg or AF is coming.

Anyway, I think I am going to go pee in a cup and ck my CP again, sorry TMI, and then decide from there. If seems like it is softer and more open I wait and see what happens, if not I may test. However I may still wait til tomarrow or Friday either way. I told Dh a while back that I didn't know why I was being so impatient, I never get an early BFP and I don't know what makes me think this time will be any different. I also told him that for the last 5 months my cycle has never been longer than 32 days, so if I went past that I would know I had to be pg. However my LP has been 13 days long a couple of times but that could also me due to a miscalculated O date. Anyway, I better go pee before I pee my pants. I haven't gone since about 8:30am MT and it is now 1:05pm. I'll KUP!!!
