To test or not to test ... that is the question ...

Afternoon lovely ladies!

AF is due on Friday/Saturday - and I'm DYING to test but know the dangers of testing too early!

As MrsJC already tested at the weekend (and I'm SO happy she got her BFP) - I need another "Step away from the HPT" pal LOL

Severe symptom spotting antics this weekend have included - feeling really cranky - have woken up ravenous for the last few days, sore-ish nips (TMI), feel full after a few mouthfuls of food, have been feeling exhausted come 9pm and just want to sleep...I could go on LOL

Now I know these could all be AF signs, and I'm trying not to convince myself that I feel odd ..eeeeeekkkkkk!!!!

  • Try and wait as like you say you know the dangers of testing too early. Am sending positive thoughts you way and lots of baby dust. I know I will be the same in a few weeks so I know it's easier said than done.

  • Hey shirls!! Those symptoms sound good!!

    Sorry I tested early!!! I just knew! I don't know whether it's late early or on time!!! Lol

    i used asda which are dead sensitive so if you test maybe weds then it would pick it up as only 2 days early!!!

    I'm not pushing you!!! Lol early testing is very naughty!!! Lol

    good luck Hun

  • Hey Mrs...

  • DON'T DO IT!!!!!

    Ok, I'm a hypocrite having tested 6 days early this month, but really wished I had more will power. I got a faint line on a First Response test but trying not to get my hopes up and probably wont believe until I actually miss my AF. However the uncertaintly is driving me insane!!!!!! The 2ww wait is far easier in comparision!

    Good luck what ever you decide to do! xxx
  • You can be stuck in limbo with a faint line, or disheartend with a bfn...or you can stick it out till test day!

    Good luck with whatever you decide! xxx
  • Lol.. Thanks girls... I'm holding out until AF is late...

    Mande I seriously chuckled when I saw your opening line lol..

    Thanks for the replies, you have all stiffened my resolve!!

    Xx
  • I like you are due fri/sat...pretty sire we haven't done it this month though so not bothered about testing early. But i agree with the other try and hold out if you can. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you xxxx
  • I was naughty and tested 5 days early and get a v.strong positive but not everyone is as lucky as all depends on hcg levels
  • You are never out until the witch arrives faye!

    Lol... I think I'd pass out if I got a bfp tomorrow!!

    I just walked passed superdrugs and faltered.. But kept walking after Reading your posts... Big pat on the back for me!
