Testing tomorrow a bad idea?

JMay · April 2011

I know this might sound nuts, and it's possible I'm just trying to delay testing, but I'm wondering if testing tomorrow morning is in bad taste, given the significance of the day from a religious perspective. I could test on Easter (because He's risen at that point) or the next day, which is our anniversary. Hopefully, if I get a BFN, the events would keep me from getting depressed. Ironically though, if I were KU, the (family) name we've had picked for 2 years, in both the feminine and masculine forms, means "resurrection". Too much irony, no?

So what do you think - is testing tomorrow of questionable taste from Christian perspective?

TIA!

I am very devout in my faith and I don't think testing tomorrow is questionable. Really, Good Friday is the most somber and difficult day for it's significance with all the suffering Christ underwent for us.

Honestly, I think you should do what will give you the least amount of emotional hardship because this process is such a draining one.

I would pray and ask God to guide me in the decision making too. By praying and including Him in your decision making you are putting your trust and faith in Him first and I'm sure that would be very pleasing in his eyes.

Wishing you a blessed Easter and hope you can have a little Easter miracle all your own.

I agree with Kelly. It might be better to test tomorrow then if you don't get a positive you don't have to worry about putting on a happy face for the family and if you do get a positive you'll really be on cloud 9 for all the happy Easter festivities. I'll be praying you get good news and it is ironic that your baby names mean resurrection.

I think it would actually be easier to test tomorrow- at least for me. Easter is one of my favorite times of the year and I know that even if I received bad news, I'd still be filled with the happiness of Easter and reassured that God knows what He's doing. But that's just me. GL with whatever you decide.

I would definitely test tomorrow with FMU. Given the spiritual significance of the weekend, I am confident that Jesus would be thrilled for happiness to be found during such a somber time. Good luck lovey!
