To test or not to test...

Ugh, that IS the question. I'm 11DPO today and really want to test tomorrow morning. My boobs are still killing me and I just want to know already. But I'm scared that if i test too early I'm just setting myself up for dissapointment that might not really be dissapointment (if I get a BFP later in the week).

How are all you girls that weren't going to test until later in the week holding out?

Re: To test or not to test...

I tested at 9DPO and got a BFN and then I tested at 10DPO and got a very, very faint BFP. By 12DPO I had a solid BFP. I just told myself that if I don't get the results that I wanted I wasn't going to get myself upset because I knew I was testing early. I just couldn't hold out any longer.........I had all the symptoms and I just wanted to know!!

Lots and lots of luck!!!

I'm waiting until Friday.. or maybe Saturday.

When I get up in the morning I just run and pee really quick without thinking. That way my FMU is gone and I don't think about testing! hahaChat Icon

My FMU is another story. I usually pee about 2-3 times a night, so by the time i get up, it's not even really FMU. I was also worrying that that will effect my results.

I've read that you can create the effect of FMU by holding it in for about 4 hours any time of the day (much like the OPK's suggest).

Maybe I'll hold out until Wed when I'll be 13DPO.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've been lurking for months and was just about to make my first post on this forum with the same question.

GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks! I'm just conflicted I guess. On the one hand I can't wait to find out, and on the other I am nervous to get a BFN like last month. I really thought last month was it, so I'm almost trying to psych myself up for a BFN so as not to be so upset. I think part of me is also scared to find out because I feel like so much will change once i do get my BFP. It's a big step, ya know?
