Scared to test.....

SLPMelSLPMel member
in Infertility

I am so scared to test.  Even though I know the chance that our first IUI would actually work-I would rather stay in my blissful ignorance to know if it didn't work.  I am testing on Saturday morning so that I know if I can drink or not-and I'll be 14dpo.  But I am just so scared to see a BFN.

I swear every time, I'm not going to look into my symptoms, I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I still fail at that!

Either I can test or I will get AF.  Why do AF and BFP symptoms have to be SOOOO similar.  I should have kept a diary for this month so that when these symptoms come back next month I don't go around thinking "Oh, that's something new!"  Embarrassed

    I always think about that too! I wish I would have noted how I felt last month. I thinking testing can be hard but its harder for me to wait for AF. I always test even if I tell myself "well its going to be a bfn"... just waiting until the day that it actually says bfp..

    I always think this!  Each month I can't remember if these are new symptoms or old ones.

    Good luck!

    Best of luck to you!  And you are definitely not alone in the phantom symptoms.  In fact last cycle I started to interpret the fact that I had *no* symptoms of either AF or BFP as a sign....only to get AF a few days later.  Boo.

    Good luck on Saturday, I hope you get the best Christmas present of all!

    Girl, I still do this once in a while even though I know it would be a miracle if we conceived on our own! 

    Best of luck to you :)

    GL when you test!  I hope you get get a great present!

    I tested quite a bit before we got our dx - I've never been sure if I'd test during a treatment cycle or not!

    GL on Saturday!! I worried a lot about symptoms, and my BFP cycle felt EXACTLY the same as the BFNs so try not to go by that if you can (easier said than done, I know). Big (((HUGS)))

    Thanks ladies!  I'm hoping we will get lucky!

    The conversations in my head-maybe?  Yes-I think I am!  No-that's what everybody thinks. But it has to be that way for some people! But probably not me.  But maybe me?  Maybe not.......

    I totally know the feeling! In fact, I was so nervous I made it all the way to beta without testing. I just couldn't face those evil little sticks.

    I hope all your symptoms are from a little peanut snuggling in. T&Ps for a second line and your x-mas BFP!
