How long do you wait before calling it a BFN?

Mouseygail · April 2012

Trying to decide when to stop my crinone (barring a BFP of course...) tomorrow is 14dpo. if its negative tomorrow can I call it? or would you test again in a day or two before stopping? (or would you absolutely do betas to be sure? I'd prefer not to, until I get a bfp, just because the fast lab at the hospital is a pain to get to, and the convenient lab takes a day or two for results....and I'm lazy.) When I was on progesterone supps while cycling with my RE, I always bled through before my scheduled betas anyways, but I think crinone works better for me as far as holding off bleeding...)

ETA: Its stupid to not just go get a beta, isn't it? Embarrassed

Ugh. I'm sorry you even have to deal with this. I think I would just get a beta, because then you can be sure and move on and not think twice. While a few days feels like forever, and I get that, it isn't that much in the scheme of things, but I totally understand the PITA (mine is almost 2 hours away or 2 days later, similar).

Have I missed you testing yet? I wasn't on much over the weekend, sorry I am out of the loop...

thanks yeah, you are right, I should just go get the beta tomorrow...better to have the peace of mind.

I hadn't updated, but 10, 11 and 12dpo were all negative. I skipped this morning and figured I would test again tomorrow.

I am so sorry for your BFN's. Ugh. I am glad you skipped this morning, but given wacky cycles I'm still holding hope for you. Peace of mind is priceless.

I think with Sophie, I didn't test until the equivilant of 13dpo, and it was SUPER light then. I probably would have gotten a BFN at 12dpo. I'd get the beta, just to not ever have to wonder...but I'll hold on to some hope for you:)
