This is exactly the question I'm asking myself today...to test or not to test? I really don't think this was my cycle & I don't have any symptoms to speak of either

I think I'm 9DPO today (although 8DPO is also a possibility)...but is it a big waste of tests to even POAS now? Or should I force myself to wait until later in the week...or even not to test at all and just wait for AF (the cheapest of all options )?

what to do, what to do....being a bit of a POAS addict, I guess i'm looking for people to talk me out of going and seeing the inevitable BFN today

I am not a fan of testing early in any cycle. I'm sure a lot of people will say to do it anyway.

I agree! Why get disappointed when test after test is potentially negative, and then you get your period, and you are disappointed once again...

I have the same problem. I should not have ovulated this month, do not have AF symptoms but have pgish symptoms (boobs are killing me, bloated, fluctuating hormones). For once in my life though I am refusing to test. Since it is still so early and you yourself think that it was a bust why waste any tests? Better use them when you think you have a good chance. But that is only my 2c. If you think you can handle the negative and it will make you feel better go ahead.

that is so freaking funny Missy! They'd have looked at you sooo oddly if you'd taken a box of pregnancy tests up to the register
