How long will you wait to test? Why?






I'ld like to be able to wait till at least 15dpo... I've done well these last two cycles, and not tested at all! CD 15 is when AF usually arrives, and so I'm almost asurredly pregnant if I get a +test after that.

I just can't take the light tests/evaps/ in my HEAD tests! they make me crazy and obsessed!

OPKS I'm horrible with usually, but haven't even used one this month!

I'm waiting until a couple days after AF is due...I don't like disappointment, so I figure this gives me best chance of either seeing a BFP or saving the cost of using the digi!

My LPs are short, so my first pregnancy I got a very dark BFP at 10dpo. My second, I tested and got a BFN on 9dpo, but then couldn't test again until 13dpo because we were out of state visiting MIL. I've only used FRER so I don't worry about evaps much.

BUT from now on, I'm going to try not to test until later.

With my pregnancy, I got a BFN at 11DPO, and a BFP at 18DPO. SO! I'm pretty dead set on waiting until AF is a few days late to test so I'm not disappointed and upset about it.

Either the day af is due, or the day after. I don't like to test early.

I'm an early tester. I just can't help it. 3-4 days before AF is due. I obsess more if I don't test. If I test and it's a BFN, I get on with the day and wait a day or 2. If my little brain is thinking that I might already be able to know, and I don't test? ...I lose it.

I try to wait until at least the day that AF is due. I really hate seeing BFN's.

I'm waiting until CD 28 or 29. My cycles before my loss were always 30 days but since then they have been between 27-28 with one lasting 35. I'll test on CD 28 because I don't think I could wait any longer than that I think that's like... the 7th ?
