Are you a compulsive tester or a wait for AFer?
last month I tested I think like 3 times. Im thinking this month, Ill just wait until (if) Im late. I was thinking about it and figured why be disappointed 3 times, PLUS when AF shows. Why not just wait, as hard as it is, and only be disappointed once.
WDYT?

Re: Are you a compulsive tester or a wait for AFer?
This is something Ive started doing too, waiting. In the beginning I would start POAS at 10DPO and always disappointed, every day, until AF came. This past month I tested once at 10DPO and made a promise to myself not to test. I didnt and was very proud of myself. AF came anyway but at least I didnt feel disappointed on a daily basis

I will sometimes test at 9DPO to make sure the trigger is gone. But I like to wait to CD11/12. Other months I test from CD9 on

Re: Are you a compulsive tester or a wait for AFer?
I am embarrassed to say compulsive.
Last month I tested a few times but I was taking progesterone so I had no choice. This month I tested already. I'm 10dpo. I have no excuse for not waiting until at least 14dpo.
Next month I'm going to try and wait until the day AF is due.
With my first pregnancy I waited until I was late to test. I don't know why I don't have the willpower this time.

yeah, cause youre all alone in your compulsiveness.
We can all be embarrassed together.

Re: Are you a compulsive tester or a wait for AFer?
I usually test once around 10dpo, then when I see the BFN, I wait til AF shows. I itch to test everyday after 10dpo, but I convinced myself that I would see something by 10dpo if I was pg. Last cycle I waited til AF showed and I got so anxious towards the end. Waiting doesn't work well for me

Re: Are you a compulsive tester or a wait for AFer?
I compulsively test early, like 9 or 10DPO. I like the thrill of waiting for the results, but I don't get too bummed when I see a BFN because I know it's still early.
After that I wait until AF is due. It's too disappointing at 13DPO or later when I know it means I'm definitely not pregnant.
BTW, I'm compulsive and I'm not embarrassed!!

Re: Are you a compulsive tester or a wait for AFer?
Funny enough i am a compulsive person BUT when it comes to testing, i am on my 6th cycle and i have not bought one HPT yet. Last cycle i was going to get the test b/c i was 2 days late from my normal AF and BAM she came. I am hoping i can continue to not test until i get my BFP...

Re: Are you a compulsive tester or a wait for AFer?
In the past 6 months I have only tested once, after I was 5 days late of when I thought I would get my period- but it was a BFN, so now I will wait until I am 1 week late to test. Testing before I am even due for my period feels like I just setting myself up for dissappointment. If it is a BFP I will be just as happy 10 DPO as I would be after I am 1 week late on my period to find out.

Re: Are you a compulsive tester or a wait for AFer?
I would test once before AF was due and then I would just wait until she AF showed up. This month I refuse to buys any HPT until after AF is late (hopefully she doesn't show at all)
