Please help talk me down!! (TMI alert)

in TTC after 35
Ok, so I am apparently not busy enough to not obsess during this 2ww. I don't know how that's possible, but I'm not. So, anyway, I got my +OPK on CD16 this month and timing was good. Here comes the TMI part. Yesterday when I went to the bathroom right before I left work there was a VERY small amt of light pink spotting, when I wiped. When I got home about a half hour later, there was a little more when I used the bathroom. Nothing the rest of the night. This morning, nothing. I just now used the bathroom and there was more. Not a lot and nothing on my underwear, just when I went. So, of course I have myself all psyched up that it's implantation bleeding and I must be pregnant, when I know darn well that it's very possible that it's nothing. But I can't stop thinking about it and I'm driving myself crazy, let alone DH and DD who are trying valiantly to temper my insanity with some harsh reality (at my request), but even that's not working. I was already planning on testing Thursday morning, but I almost tested this morning and I don't know how to stop myself from testing tomorrow morning. I do not expect AF until Sunday. I have two pregnancy tests in my cabinet just calling my name. What would you do??

Put down the peestick! LOL! j/k
That would be an irresistible symptom. BUT... Even if it is implantation, you need a couple days to build up the hcg in your system to get +. Thursday's not a bad plan. It might still be a little early, but it'll be better to wait 'til then than try tomorrow. Although it's tempting with two tests in there, save the other one for Saturday (two days after Thursday, for more hcg buildup).
My fingers are crossed for you!
I'm sure it's tempting, but I would wait til Thursday as well.
I hope it turns out to be a wonderful Christmas for you! That would make an interesting stocking stuffer for DH wouldn't it..."here honey, two lines!"

If you're having spotting now, and it is implantation spotting, it will take a couple days for the hCG to show up in your system enough to test positive. If you test now you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.
Good luck!
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
I'm with the other girls... put the test down and back away from the bathroom slowly. lol
You will definitely need a few days for HCG to build up enough for a positive test, so (telling myself the same thing) just try to relax and get through the next few days. I know, easier said than done.
I think I am holding off from testing because I just don't want to see the negative test. AF is due Thursday, but my temps keep raising, which makes me think, woohoooo, but then I feel crampy like I'm going to start my period, which makes me feel like grrrrrr. That's the only reason I have held off--would rather get my period than see a negative. (although I stopped at the Dollar tree last night and bought 6 tests---just in case. hahah)
I will be praying for you girl! Stay strong!!!

I agree with everyone else, but if you are anything like me you are probably going to do it anyway.
I am the most impatient person in the world and go through pee sticks like nobody's business. If you are dying to test and can rationalize a BFN without getting depressed then go ahead. It's the holidays and you may have to deprive yourself of all sorts of holiday goodies anyway, (alcohol, egg nog, raw cookie dough), so why not give into your temptation on this one non-fattening, non-potentially TTC-harming thing. I was able to get a BFP before at 8 dpo just a little over 24 hours after noticing light pink spotting. Geez I am a bad influence.
Good Luck!
