Trouble TTC

Talk me down

April 2014 in Trouble TTC

So I ovulated this cycle (progesterone in the 20's), today is CD 29, 15 DPO and no sign of AF. My clinic has me do beta CD35 if no period, and I only have one FRER at home. I don't want to test and be disappointed and wonder "did I just test too early", but on the other hand I want to test SO.BAD! Help me out ladies!

I can't help talk you out of testing. I would be peeing on a stick right this minute! 15dpo isn't too early to test. I know how disappointing it is to see a BFN but I wouldn't be able to stop myself from testing!
Good luck!!!
