Unable to make good decisions!!

I'm 8-9 DPO and had some light spotting that surprised me last night. Naturally I flipped out with visions of implanting embryos dancing in my head.

If it was implantation, I wouldn't be able to test positive for another 3-4 days at least. So knowing this, I made the logical, smart decision to wait to test until at least the end of the week.

And then I threw that out the window and took a test this morning. I told myself it was too early to get a positive result, not to get upset if it's negative, and to not place all my hopes on this way-too-early test.

It was of course negative. And I of course felt crushed.

Is there ANY way to tune into the logical parts of your brain during the TWW? Or am I doomed to phantom pregnancy symptoms, early pregnancy test letdowns and INSANE impatience??

Tell me how you get through it! ❤
