Testing during the week???

I'm 8dpo and promised myself I would not test until I'm actually late (whenever that is!) My LP seems to be about 10-11 days, which would mean I could test this Sunday - we're going to my MIL's on Sunday and I just DO NOT want to test and then have to go to her house an hour or so later - whether it's positive OR negative.

So that puts me into next week and again I would rather not POAS in the morning and then have to rush off to work - anyone else???

On the other hand, I'm sure the suspense will be killing me by then! But then again, if I don't get AF by then...

ARGH, this is so confusing! Chat Icon

When are you due for AF...since you have a short LP...I totally would try to wait until next week and test when you wake up in the morning before work...

According to prior cycles, I'm due 10dpo. Saturday would be 11dpo, but I'm so afraid of getting a BFN that I wanted to wait at least a little bit. Sunday would be 12dpo, so a little better, but there's the MIL thing!

I just hate the idea of having to rush off anywhere after testing - if it's positive, I really want to have sometime with my DH to let it sink in! If it's negative, I think I'll need some time to myself...

I totally get that....
hmmmm...its rough, are you going to be at MIL all day, if not, I would say to try to hold it in for a few hours and test at night then....I've heard some women actually get better results at night than in the morning..so who knows, and that way you'll be home with DH? Can that work???

Hang in there.

I feel ya, I didn’t want to test during the week either so I was going to put it off to a weekend.

But then I didn’t want to test over New Years eve weekend because AF was due on the 2nd-5th. I didn’t test on the weekend of the 5th because I thought AF was just a little late. I had planned to wait until the 12th which means AF would be over 7 days late, but then I got scared because I got so dizzy. Finally bought an HPT and took it that Wednesday.

I did mine when I got home on Wednesday night because I was so freaked out by the dizzy spell and constant drinking and bathroom visits. I did it right after I got home.

My biggest fear was BFN (still worries me that I may lose this one) and I couldn’t imagine having to go to work with that on my mind. Still either I was preggos or really sick.

If I were you…..I’d hold off if you can until at least Friday night. Then you can have Saturday to digest the results. I think with AF that late, you can take your HPT at night. Its when you try to HPT earlier than your AF that it needs to be FMU.

ETA: wait, you're not late yet?? Try to hold off. One week is one week, not knowing may be rough, but at least you can survive the weekend. *sending you will power*
