Trying to Get Pregnant

do you test early or wait and see?

This last month I went through 4 neg tests before accepting my fate. That was the first month of ttc. I feel like I somehow jynx it by testing early and am thinking I will switch my strategy and save money by waiting for AF instead of testing. But then again that seems like no fun. What do you guys do?

Re: do you test early or wait and see?

  • With the exception of last month being an abnormally long cycle, I have not tested since I was on cycle 4.....and I'm on cycle 14 now

  • For me, seeing a BFN is no fun.

    Usually I don't test, but this cycle has been really weird for me so I have been. It has not been fun. BFNs suck and I would prefer to not see them ever.

  • I do agree about the bfn's but I am one of those people with 0 patience. But I will say I had a wacked out cycle and that's why I kept testing. I am hoping it was just due to quiting the pill. It was the 2nd cycle off the pill.

  • I am sure that I will test if temps look good. Surprises and I are not good friends :0)

    Now that I am temping I won't be testing early unless it's not clear exactly when I O. Last cycle I tested early even after ff telling me I JUST o'd (but I didn't believe all of the evidence).    ;)
