Rookie mistake - POAS when I said I wouldn't

I have never had a BFP before 13 dpo. So, what did I do? I POAS on 10dpo, 11 dpo, and now 12 dpo. I have only made myself miserable. I am dreading tomorrow when I will feel like whatever the outcome it will be the "real" answer. My beta is set for Wednesday.

How am I gonna make it until then? Ugh.

Dang rookie mistake. I have stressed myself out knowing there is nothing I can do out it.  

Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!
BFP #1 6/22/09 EDD: 3/2/10 DS born: 3/8/10

TTC #2 since Dec 2011
BFP #2 7/8/12 EDD: 3/18/12 M/C @ 9w1d: 8/16/12

Re: Rookie mistake - POAS when I said I wouldn't

  • The lure of the HPT is like the siren's song.  Don't beat yourself up over it.  I, as well as several others I know haven't been able to resist testing before we know we should.

    FX that tomorrow's answer is both real and different!

  • I hate it when I break down and test too early. It's so easy to do though! I always feel awful seeing the BFN. Then, I start questioning it since it's so early, so it doesn't result in any real answers anyways.

    I hope that you get a great answer soon though!

    TTC#2 since December 2010. HSG and bloodwork all good. SA results not so good. Unmedicated IUI#1 6/19/2012 - BFN
  • I'm sorry. Don't throw in the towel yet. It is still early.

  • I agree, still early...It's so hard to resist using them.  I told myself I was definetley NOT going to and then next thing you know i have POAS 2x/day for the past week!! 
  • Thanks, ladies. I feel a lot better. At least I know I'm not alone. Big Smile

  • This was my first IUI cycle, I'm suppose to do beta on Thursday so I'm like 11 out and I tested Saturday and today BFN : my hubby was so frustrated with me and told me to stop testing until Thursday but he just doesn't understand lol. We still have a few days so fingers and toes crossed!
