To test or not to test???

Question

While TTC for baby #1 I am realizing it is so hard to not over analyze symptoms that are most likely things I have just never paid attention to before.... AF is due on the 16th and i am now 10 dpo... my breasts are usually sore for a week or so before my period... But this month they are not ...I have even been feeling slightly nauseous for the past few days... i keep telling myself it's probably all in my head trying not to get my hopes up like I have been for the past few months... I don't want to test until I miss AF because I have already wasted so much money on tests .... Just wondering if anyone could offer some insight... should i test or wait it out???

Answer

I'm due on the 17th and I also have a very hard time trying to wait but last month I did it early and was so disappointed in seeing a negative that this time I want to wait till a few days after I'm late. In my opinion it hurts seeing a "not pregnant" test more than seeing AF. But that's just me. If you feel better testing then I would test when you're ready:) Good luck! Hope you get a Christmas miracle.

AF is due for me in the 16th as well. I go Crazy every month pos'ing and symptom spotting.. This month I'm trying my best to wait until I miss AF to test... I can totally relate to your situation.. :/
