lol. If my lp was 20 days long every cycle I would go insane waiting.
I always started testing around 8dpo...just in case. I think I tested at 6 or 7dpo once, because it was DH's bday, and I wanted to give him a bfp. Not even close!

I have tested that early a few times because there is always a birthday, easter, valentines day, etc close to it so I want to suprise him with it!
This is only my second cycle charting and last cycle I didn't have to wait until 20DPO for AF showed up. Hey, that means I already have a HPT for this month, right? I hope I can hold out that long, or however long FF suggests, I just can't stand wasting any more money on HPT's. HTH

Not so far.
That was what it was like with me! There was always something. And then I found out I had a bad batch of tests (internet cheapies that didn't come up positive for a week after my FRER's and $store tests did), so I wouldn't have known if they were positive, anyway!
My LP is averaging about 14 days, so that is long enough for me to wait to test. I would also have to see what my temps are doing to determine whether or not I should test. But in short, no...I don't think I could wait 20 days.
Re: Could you hold out til 20 DPO? Have you?

I just finished up my first chart.... but i only went 9DPO. So for now my thought is Nope! lol

I have never bought the interenet cheapies, I may have to try those since I spend at least $20 a cycle on HPT's..
and there is always something, next is his birthday and then father's day. oh boy.
I'll be waiting until my period is at least a couple of days late so I guess 16 or 17 DPO...so that's not that far off 20.
It's just seems like a waste of money to buy pregnancy tests when getting AF or not is a pretty good indicator. But then I have a very regular cycle.?
