2WW is killing me slowly!! Do you guys do OTC pregnancy tests?

Or should I refrain and just wait? If you do the pee test, is 4 day early TOO early? Lol, I have one of those early response ones. I'm dying to see if this IUI worked!

    If you're going to compulsively test, I wouldn't start until 9 DPO at the earliest, and even then it's pretty unlikely you'll get a positive.

    If you used a trigger shot, testing is pretty much useless until 10 DPO (12 DP trigger).  False positives suck but that's the only time you'll get one.

    In any case, 4 DPO is certainly way too early so hold your horses for another five days :) I know the waiting is horrible but you really won't know one way or another until the embryo has time to get to your uterus, implant, and finally produce enough HCG to give you a positive test.

    GL!

    My bad on using the wrong lingo. 4 day early as in 4 day before AF. It should be 9 DPO right now....

    But according to you ladies I should wait at least until tomorrow? And even then 35% seems so low, lol.

    You're right, I would die if I got a false positive. I will wait!!! You ladies rock for talking me off the ledge.

    I always waited until 14dpo because I was afraid of cp's etc. you can do it!!

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(

    @jencity9‌ and @NariaDreaming‌ I know this is a silly question, but my cycle is 26 days + I ovulate late, so 14DPO actually puts me 1 day past AF. Does those odds still apply then? It's my Birthday today!!! And I just couldn't resist testing, so I did a HPT this morning on 12 DPO. Big fat negative. And I read that since I'm on Endometrin, AF might not come as schedule tomorrow until I'm off of it. Just wondering if I'm still overreacting and bumming myself out for nothing.
