Did you test because you had symptoms or because enough time had passed/missed period?

Question

Just trying to figure out if I should bother testing if I have no symptoms or just wait because my periods aren't massively regular so won't really know if I've missed one.

Answer

I personally made a promise to myself that I won’t test unless I miss AF going forward because I realized that my early pregnancy symptoms in the past and my PMS symptoms are almost identical and it’s honestly draining to see negatives and then get my cycle anyway.

Answer

I was 7DPO and felt what I thought was implantation. I started testing at 8 DPO and got a positive at 9!

Answer

I tested the day before I was supposed to get my period because I’m impatient 😅. I didn’t have any symptoms and it took several more weeks to get any.

Answer

i missed my period but it wasn’t uncommon for me to skip a period here and there but then i had morning sickness so bad that i thought i had the stomach bug, missed work for a few days so i didn’t “spread it” took a test and sure enough i was pregnant lol it wouldn’t hurt to take one!

Answer

I just had that feeling that month so I took it

Answer

Both! My 1st & 3rd were due to missed period, started getting sick around 6 weeks, my 2nd I was sick a week before my missed period!

Answer

I was in denial that my pregnancy symptoms were just my period coming so I didn’t even want to take a test because I had it so set in my head that my period was gonna be there anyday so eventually at 6 days late at almost 11pm I decided it can’t hurt to take one if I’m pregnant it should definitely be positive by now so I took one and put a timer for 3 minutes and by the time I wiped and stood off the toilet I had two bright pink lines already in 15 seconds. I was shocked to say the least lol
