I need POASaholic help

I should wait until Saturday. For one thing, it would be two days after a/f is due. The other thing is if I get a BFP or BFN I am going to be very emotional and I don't want to have to spend a whole day at work thinking about it. If I wait until Saturday then I at least have the weekend to get used to the results. But I want to test NOW! The only thing stopping me is that I haven't even implanted yet so I know I should wait until at least 9 DPO but I CANT!!! I have a feeling I will be testing on Tuesday at 9 DPO. I don't know why I can't wait this month. I am usually so good at this stuff. I never have these problems. I am worried because I don't have any symptoms except being really tired and hungry but I am like that before a/f too.

When should I test? Please tell me when it is absolutely stupid to test. I need to hear it so I don't waste all my tests. Please help me!

Sabina....

honestly from looking at hundreds of FF charts when I am in the 2WW and obsessing..... I know get a life!

most women who are PG see their first BFP at 12 DPO. And lots of them tested too early before that and had a BFN first. I think anything earlier than that is just luck

15 DPO is really your best bet because implantation can occur at 12DPO.

I say test on 12DPO

Unless you temps jump up and stay up....then I'd be finding the closest HPT.

I test way too early because I really am addicted to the possibility of maybe seeing a second line. I am not upset when it isn't there ... I always say it's too early...maybe tomorrow. Well for some reason around 12DPO if it's still negative that's when I pretty much give up home.

LOTS of

and your chart looks great!

This whole cycle I have been running out of patience. I haven't been able to wait to O and now i can't wait to test. UGH! I can't take this anymore. Last time I tested at 9 DPO I got a negative and thought that was it. I didn't test again until like 14 DPO and it was positive. I know it my head I have to wait but I have no more patience. I have had patience all friggin year but I used it up TTC..LOL! I really can't do this anymore. I am not a patient person to being with. Please, please, please can you ladies send me some of your patience dust? I REALLY need it! I had a major breakdown yesterday and today. I don't know what is wrong with me, I am an emotional hurricane this month. My poor, poor, poor DH....

Aww hon

I feel your * I'm gonna go insane waiting* pain.

I guess the only words of advice I have are "If it's gonna happen... it's gonna happen". There is nothing you can do do make a test more or less positive now. Just try to relax and treat your body as if it were pregnant already. Get lots of sleep... be lazy... eat good...etc.

Now step away from the tests....and find a dandelion instead.

Lots of big huge

I am also a closet addict of poas syndrome! I really hope you get a BFP! I wish I could offer advise about how to hold off testing, the only thing that has helped me is I finally ran out of tests at home and I force myself to keep driving past the Walgreens and not stop.
