Anyone else NOT take a test until after missed period to avoid disappointment?

Question

Currently 9DPO. Period is due on 12/25. 
For the past days I’ve felt so bloated, gassy, extremely emotional, anxious and have not been able to sleep. I had some normal PMS cramping about 6DPO. My legs normally start to hurt and have leg spasms about 4-5 days before my period but nothing yet. I’m not getting my hopes up at all to avoid disappointment and to save me the heartache. I did order the cheap HCG strips from Amazon and they arrive tomorrow though. Is anyone else going through the same??? 
I really hoped to do a cute Christmas baby announcement like this one, I know I’m not 100% out this cycle yet but I can’t bring myself to be hopeful anymore. 😔

Answer

I'm always impatient and can never wait that long and test early. Baby dust!

Answer

I wait until at least 17 dpo to test. I hate testing. I have only tested 3 times in 3 years.

Answer

So I waited until I was a week late and I actually thought my period had arrived but was so much lighter than usual. Turns out it was not my period as I got BFP! Baby dust to you 💕💕

Answer

I should have waited. Since I MC back in August, I know better than to test early. But, here I am, testing earlier.

Answer

Update!! Tested today, and BFN as expected. Currently 10DPO 😔

Answer

I started testing at 9dpo and got a seriously faint line. The following day i got a early clear blue digital to pick it up x
