When do you start to poas? Do you wait until the day of AF or do you start at 1dpo? How many poas addicts do we have here and how many have that kind of control to wait?

I hate seeing BFNs (find it emotionally easier to see af than a BFN) so I TRY hard to wait as close to the end of the cycle as I can!

I usually try and wait until AF is due or even after! I like to hang onto the possible hope as much as I can!

I don't like to see BFN's either but I can't help myself but start testing at around 8-9 dpo! It is like an addiction.... Help!

I try and wait for at least 11dpo, but thats just 1 day before AF anyway! I used to have a 14 day luteul phase, but it has been 12 now for 4 cycles since m/c. Last month I started on 9dpo, felt like I was cheated on the dpo's I have to POAS, lol

I've always pretty much waited until the day AF is due or within a day of AF being due... that way I'm not looking at a super faint line.

We're TTC with charting & OPK's this time around so hopefully I can stick to my rule of thumb LOL!

I used to POAS early but I don't anymore. I'll wait until I'm late but I will say I've gotten to know my body so well I KNOW when I'm pregnant and when I'm not after ovulation.
