You will find lots of ladies who do poas and a few who don't. I personally tried to go beta or bust but gave in the morning of the blood test and poas. When I only saw 1 line I was regretful I had done it, but when the "official" bfn came in I was glad I had done it because I had some time to prepare myself. It's a very personal decision that may change as you progress through the 2 ww. This part really was the hardest for me. Be good to yourself during this time and *try* to relax. Best of luck for a bfp no matter when you decide to test!
When I had my ETs I always tested for 2 reasons. One,I didnt want to get the disappointing news of a BFN at work (so by poas I already knew) and two I wanted to know when the trigger was gone in case I ever got a bfp closer to beta day, I wouldn't be wondering if it was a true bfp or not (since trigger can linger for a very long time.)
I had similar experiences to @fayth4one. I did a home test right before beta and then regretted it immediately, but felt like it was better to be prepared when I got the call from the office. It's really a personal decision. My only recommendation is to involve your DH in the decision because he will inevitably be the one dealing with the aftermath. I mean that in the best of ways

Good luck and wishing you a bfp
