i caved

and tested. why, i have no idea. i know, dont yell at me... trhis is my first month ttc and i just got back from vaca and couldnt wait; figured why not. marie got her bfp early. so ill try too. i got my smiley on the 9th so i dont even know how many dpo i am, but i tested. BFN.

Re: i caved

There's still hope!!!!

I told myself I will not test until AF is late and made my DH & sister aware of it so he & she makes sure I won't.

Re: i caved

It's not over yet!

Re: i caved

I'm YELLING!

Seriously girl! You're only like 6-7 DPO!!!!!

Remember, implantation occurs between 6-10 DPO (or even as late as 12!) - so once that happens, you need to give your body a few days to build up enough hCG to be detected on a pregnancy test!

It's TOO EARLY!

Re: i caved

i know i just was so anxious. DH went to work and I ran into the bathroom and tested.. I figured ok; I know its early and I could get a BFN or it may not be my month, so I tried to prepare myself for the worst but also said well hey, u never know. But I didnt get what I was looking for. The test pack came with 3 tests so what should I do now? Should I test every day and go buy more or wait longer to start testing again?

Re: i caved

I did the same thing this month ( the first month I am TTC ) TWICE! I am waiting till the day AF is due if I don't have TBAF , and then test . I am not a patient person , but I can't take the disappointment and then another week- 2 week wait again

ok ok ok i know. i was anxious!!! u cant tell me im the only one who has tested this early. i let myself down but i did it. so cant turn back now. but the question is when do i start testing again?

Re: i caved

ok Ill see how patient i stay. Thanks for understanding MAM!!!

Re: i caved

I did the same this morning BFN and I think I might be on the same time frame as you....

I too know that it's too early for both of us but I just HAD to. And the truth is - I'll probably POAS again, it's an addiction...I was just hoping and hoping for the faintest of lines

You know I love ya!

Wait... seriously!

Honestly the earliest I have EVER tested is 9 DPO.

I would say to hold out and start testing again on Saturday. You can test like every other day if you really want to go broke! 9 DPO, 11 DPO, 13 DPO, 15 DPO. Does that sound doable?

I wouldn't recommend doing that... I really wouldn't! BFN after BFN can be quite devastating! But I get the feeling that you're going to do it no matter what.. so I think that would be your best bet.

Re: i caved

you are testing way too early... yesterday you were only 7DPO... so you have to wait even after the weekend.

Re: i caved

There's still time.

Re: i caved

don't torture yourself

Re: i caved

If we're being conservative, we'd say you O'd on the 11th.

So today you are 8 DPO. With a normal LP, AF would be due on the 26th.

I wouldn't use a digital before 14 DPO to be honest - unless you get a BFP on a line test before then. They are much less sensitive!

Re: i caved

ok so maybe ill go get the non digitals for the early testing. how ar ethe dollar tree ones so i dont have to spend too much money? i know a few girls got their 2 lines on them right? and for my LP; I dont know what it is. My last 4 AF's were on Aug 1, Aug 26, Sep 29 and OCt 25

Re: i caved

Too early! When we ttc my DS I rushed to take the test and got a BFN....2 days after I missed my period I tested again the the BFP line practically glowed!

Re: i caved

so I def could be pregnant and just not know it yet then. that makes me feel better. I'll go to Walmart and get the non digital tests and wait until Sat to test again. That will be 3 days before AF is supposed to get here.

Re: i caved

I did too!! and I had my smiley a day after yours! I'm just as anxious and crazy!

Re: i caved

So sorry you had to experience the disappointment of a BFN!! We've all been there and it SUCKS!! Remember that you're not out till AF comes, and you can also get a BFN and then a BFP in the same cycle. It happened to me and many other girls!! GOOD LUCK and tons of BABYDUST

I remember talking babytalk with you over a year ago right after we got married!!! Crazy how time flies!!

Re: i caved

you are not out yet... Hang in there girl!!!! And just give it a few more days, You can do it!!!!

Re: i caved

awww.... it's okay.
it happens.

I'm sure we've all caved earlier than we said we would.


I'm the worst! I always cave.

Easiest way to avoid caving is not keep tests in the house.


Here is for this weekend's test!
