I have a bad habit of accidentally sounding rude sometimes not trying to what so ever .

I would like to know why so many women take tests before AF is late? I know some people do get a positive and that's so awesome but it's not that common and it just sets hopes higher and the fall of a negative is sometimes more hurtful.

Is it just excitement? And hope?

I guess I just don't understand .

Why spend the money on the tests and set yourself up for more hurt?
