Why do us women put ourselves through the torture of overanalyzing everything? I'm guilty of symptom spotting and I stare and look a thousand times at a negative pregnancy test hoping it to be positive. But can someone please tell me Why some test 6 days before expected period, and chance it too early to tell? Why do some invert colors of a picture of a test taken on cd9? If you are pregnant it will show in time...if it's not there, it's not there. All it does is break hearts and disappoint. Why not just wait for af to arrive? I never test before my expected period..always day of or day after glow predicted, which I believe is too much as well. And it's not that I'm being rude or "don't understand"...my hubby and I have been ttc for 2 years, neither of us have children. So I understand the eagerness and desire to be pregnant. All this seems to do is stress us out and no matter how long we harp on it, it doesn't change the fact that we are still not pregnant. I just think that waiting for a missed period is the best way for me mentally. Always go at it like she is bound to arrive and shield yourself from the extra week of disappointment. Just my thoughts anyway.
