Is all that keeps going through my mind. only 7dpo today so I am trying to ignore it until fri or sat...... UGH I wish the wait was faster than 2 weeks

Happy Hump day all!

Ignore it. You really will just be wasting money at 7dpo, and you'll get a BFN even if you get a positive this weekend. Good luck!

ETA: Of course, this is a classic "do as I say" example, since I regularly pee on sticks with no evidence of postpartum ovulation.

Me too! I have all these symptoms but my bf took the car today and I don't want to wait for the bus in the rain to get a HPT.

You can do it, You can do it! Wait just two/three more days that is!

I peed on 7DPO and 8DPO (today) I am trying not to do it until 10DPO - but I am sure I will poas everyday intil AF or BFP. Next month though, I will hold off until 10DPO because this really is just a waste of money.

I just remind myself that I only have to stay strong for the first 5 minutes of the day. Once I get rid of FMU, that's it. I know there's no point in POAS for the rest of the day. This doesn't mean I haven't done it, just that this is what usually works for me!

Hang in there mrsfrank! 7 DPO really is too early. 10 DPO is about the earliest you can test with fair reliability. The longer you can hold off, the more reliable the result. I know the 2WW sucks! Just a few more days... Best of luck!

Don't give in to the temptations lol! I say wait till 11DPO, hopefully it will be here before you know it

mrsfrank · February 2013

LOL you ladies crack me up!

this is why i buy them at the dollar store! that way I don't feel so bad testing on 7DPO haha.

I am right there with you haha. I'm only 5dpo and I'm going crazy. Trying to keep myself distracted with work and house cleaning and my animals but I just keep counting down the days. I keep thinking I can hold out until 14dpo but who am I kidding I'm going to poas come 10dpo.

RustyGirl3 · February 2013

It's really tough...especially if you are having any shred of a symptom.

Try to wait for 10dpo if you can.

abremer · February 2013

I do the same things. I start testing way earlier than I should. People can tell you oh wait until 10DPO and you will tell yourself that you will but we all know we will test when we want to test!

It really is the worst 2WW of my life so far. I hope I don't feel like this during the 9MW!

When I'm trying to avoid POAS, I'll make sure to put my HPTs and pee cup far away from the bathroom before I go to sleep (I've even asked DH to hide them) so I will get rid of FMU before I can use them.
Then I convince myself it's not worth testing with anything but FMU, so I might as well wait until the next day...

Can't convince myself of this since my BFP was in the afternoon after I had a BFN on FMU. I just decided I should test again for afternoon funsies and surprise...different result.

I got a nighttime BFP, so the FMU trick doesn't work for me either! Ah, well -- that's what Wondfo cheapies are for...
