why, why, why did I test?

mmzmmz
in TTC after 35

I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle and swore to myself I would never test early again.

 well, here I am -- only 9 days dpo -- and I'm testing. of course it's negative... so, why did I do it? I've been having nausea off and on (new this cycle) and a metallic taste in my mouth (also new). why do I fall into this trap? every cycle, I think -- oooh, these are pg symptoms. but they turn out not to be (with the exception of the chem pg).

 thanks for letting me vent. I'm still hoping for a freakin' BFP!

    I'd say it's way to early to get a BFP... hang in there and keep hoping!

    I'm 9dpo too!  And I tested this am to a BFN as well (mind you I am doing a pg test study so I have to test every morning since CD20)

    It's still early!  Hang in there! 

    FWIW, I had a metallic taste in my mouth as a symptom of pg - but I was like 6w...so, I think it's too early to be a symptom (b/c I"m a firm believer in the whole "if you are pg to have symptoms, you are pg enough to test + on an HPT"), but the dreamer side of me thinks....hmmmm......maybe it is a sign?!

    Good luck!  Hope to see a BFP from you in a couple of days!

    yeah, 9dpo is too early. when we first started TTC years back i used to have the urge to test every month. but then i hated the disappointment and got pissed i was wasting so much $$ on stupid tests, so i somehow willed myself to wait until either the day I expected AF or when she was due to be late. that definitely helped keep my sanity a little. best of luck.

    I know how you feel!  I'm 7DPIUI and I'm itchin' to test!!  With my last BFP (ended in m/c), my boobs hurt like crazy......and this time, nothing.  So now I'm convinced that it didn't work this time.  It will kill me to wait until next Friday to have the beta done........maybe I'll test the day before, just so I'm not surprised if/when I get the BFN call!

    The PP is right, it is too early.......so hopefully you'll get your BFP next week!  Good luck!

    It's still too early.  I know that pain.  I say I am not going to test, then when I see a symptom, I cave.  BFNs suck.  Big.  Wait a few days then test for reals.

    Oh, way too early!  LOL But this is coming from a former POAS addict.  I had a metallic taste once and it was a chemical pg - but I ended up getting pg 2 cycles later.  Fingers crossed for you.  :)

    Thanks, ladies. Now I'm 11 dpo. still BFN. I keep trying to hold off testing, but it's like this weird compulsion. if DH knew how much I spent on HPTs he would be sooooo mad! I used my last HPT this morning and didn't buy another pack. so, I at least know I won't be able to test tomorrow morning!
