I am trying to convince myself to wait
to take an HPT like- tomorrow.
It's 10 days today since the trigger- so that will DEFINITELY be out of my system. Tomorrow will be 10DPO. When I got pregnant last year- I was 10DPO.
If I test tomorrow and get a BFN, I have to suffer through work and a class after work before I can curl up and be sad at home. If I get a BFP, I have all that time to plan something awesome to tell DH. Hmmm...what to do...

Re: I am trying to convince myself to wait
Ultimately, it's up to you... I found what worked for me was to just wait. As hard as it was to get my period, it was always harder to see the BFN. After my 2nd IUI, I stopped testing. I know it's hard though....

Re: I am trying to convince myself to wait
It's up to you.
I usually base it on how I'm feeling that month. Two months ago I didn't test at all because I wasn't ready for a BFN. Last month, I tested at 12 DPO in hopes that I'd be able to cancel my RE appointment - but fully ready to get a BFN and keep the hope up since I DID have that appointment anyway.
I'm the kind of person that doesn't really like to wait though - so I usually will give in and test once before AF is due - but if it's BFN (which it's always been!) then I typically won't test again unless AF is late.

Re: I am trying to convince myself to wait
I wouldnt test either....I'm big on NOT testing because I hate seeing the BFN. Its almost like the longer I dont test -the longer I get to hold on to the hope that may be I am preg.
If I were you knowing tomorrow you have a long day ahead of you- I would wait to test.

Re: I am trying to convince myself to wait
The problem is- I don't get AF unless it's induced. So, if I wait for her- I might have the baby before I test
I dunno- tomorrow is a long day. DH just said to wait until Saturday night, and I told him i'd have to hold my pee all day. He said to do it Friday, then
I don't want to have to sit at work sad all day, but I don't want to be sad for mine and DH's day out on Saturday, either. Sunday we are going to a wedding overnight until Monday, so I wanna do it before Sunday.
Ugh- too many options. At this point, I am just gonna see how long I can take it!

Re: I am trying to convince myself to wait
Since you took drugs to ovulate and assuming you aren't taking progesterone right now...you will get AF on your own if you aren't PG.
That being said, I'd hold off if you can, but if you really, really want to know...test. It can't hurt that much.

Re: I am trying to convince myself to wait
Also, do they have you scheduled for a beta?
I always took a test the morning of the beta.

Nope. They told me to take an HPT 14 days after, and follow up with the result.

Re: I am trying to convince myself to wait
Look, here's the thing! SHould you test, probably not, you should hold off until 14 days or your beta BUT
That being said, I am sitting here counting the days until I get to 10dpo (which will be saturday). So, I am of no help to you...I am addicted to testing!!!
do what you feel is best!! Good luck, I am hoping for a positive for you this month!!!!
