To poas or not to poas; that is the question?
BGG and the Saturday clubbers...I know you'll understand.
I hope everyone is doing ok. Anyway....Hello out there I'm starting to feel, uh, a little anxiety. Ok a lot. a whole buncha anxiety here. or psychosis as BGG said.
To poas or not to poas; that is the question?
Unlike those who pee early and often, I just can't bear the thought of getting the darn bfn. I want to hold out so I know for sure. They said wait two weeks from IUI. But since I had 2 IUIs back to back on Fri and Sat 2weeks ago, I'm not sure which day to start counting. I do have the FR brand so they are supposed to detect early. But I threw away the box so I can't remember the instructions. Does it have to be FMU?
And here's the thing, warning TMI: With all that progesterone I've been putting up you know where, well there is some unpleasant stuff coming back out. again..skip this paragraph if you can...tmi...so sometimes that same white cream shows up the next day and it is maybe slightly greyish or tannish. Today it is mixed with brownish. Like cocoa powder. So obviously some blood of some kind. So it could be AF. boo. or maybe not.
And so I'm back to ...pee? or no pee? if it is negative then I'll have to keep testing through the weekend. Or until AF shows herself in her brightest crimson. I don't usually get spotting ahead of AF. ARRRGGHHH!
As for other symptoms: well 2 weeks ago when I started the dam progesterone cream the BBs were bloated and sore and the nips were sensitive like they were sunburned and it was miserable. Just yesterday, that all went away. So WTF does that mean?! Does your body get used to the progesterone and so it doesn't do that to the bbs anymore? OR is it a sign of PG or no PG? Can I say ARRRRGGHH again?
For anyone who has made it all the way to the end of this wacked message, much love and appreciation! I just don't know what to do. (but I can think of a few people who are gonna start a POAS chant.) 
dreading. hopeful. dreading. dreadfully hopeful.

Re: To poas or not to poas; that is the question?
Well I'm probably not a good person to offer advice, since I like peeing on things.
I can tell you that I kind of wish I didn't test this morning (BFN) since it's likely that I tested way too early at 11 DPO. It didn't really help my obsessive thoughts. Hold out if you can I guess, but if it's driving you crazy like it does me you might as well go ahead and test. I don't know what to tell you about the progesterone, I think that's one of those things that everyone responds to differently. Good luck!!
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
If a bfn will crush you, wait. Otherwise, why the heck not? Best of luck regardless, hope you are more sane than I feel at this point. I would skip the entire weekend if I could to proceed to Monday morning.

I don't know what all your different symptoms mean, but they'd be driving me crazy too. If it were me, I'd probably test tomorrow with FMU, but if you can hold out 'til Saturday, that'd probably be more ideal.
Fingers crossed for you!!!
I can help with the progesterone question - it just whacks your body out and so you cannot use symptoms as a guide. Progesterone makes me feel exactly like I am pregnant. Not sure why your BBs soreness went away but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes back. You may have had a little spotting but I would be surprised - progesterone is really good at getting rid of spotting.
Second - I always tested exactly two weeks after my first IUI - so if I had the first one on a Fri I would test two fridays after that - figuring even if the second one was the one - it would show up a day early.
Sorry you are having such a hard wait!
I'm thinking of you and sending my positive vibes your way. Keep your chin and keep your thoughts positive.
HUGS!
