Anybody else waiting until after AF missed to test?
Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone else is going to be waiting until after AF arrives before testing?
It's our first month of trying this month, and I don't really expect to be pregnant just yet (although I REALLY want to be!)
It mostly a cost thing, my Hubby is very frugal and a pregnancy test every month will not be allowed into the budget - (esp. when I'm saving all my Mad Money for the nursery fund.)
So currently I have a double pack in the bathroom cabinet ready and waiting until AF doesn't make it round for tea. I hate her anyway so can't wait till she buggers off for a while (I suffer from Dysmenorrhoea - Painful Periods so I going to have my fingers extra extra extra crossed she doesn't make an appearance)
I was just hoping there might be a few people who are also waiting! So you can help me resist the urge to just use my double pack up. (BTW anyone who is testing early - I totally get why you are, I wish I could but Hubby is TOO Frugal and I shall get many disapproving looks if I start testing early this early on in trying)
Thanks all!

Good luck!
My AF is supposed to be due 1st Dec but she never been quite on time so she might be a few days early or late - so even if she is late we've agreed since she's so unreliable we have to wait at least a week before testing.
It is quite hard when you are just starting out for the first time - I have no idea what to expect and we're not telling anybody we are trying.
So another 3 weeks even if she doesn't arrive!
Good luck to both, hope we are all not waiting much longer X
It month 6 for me and i have spent a small fortune on POAS so i have not got any in the house either to tempt me LOL
Not due untill 2nd at the latest as OV later again this month CD18
so prob going to wait till i am 18DPO!! (dreaming now i am not hopeful this month didnt do much BD round OV )
I am at the point where BFN don't bother me i am so used to seeing them. I go each month and get 1 box so OH cant moan ??1 on hpt i usually get 2/3 choccy bars as well for when AF does come and she always does

I will be waiting also. I am not due til 10th Dec!!! ages yet...haven't ov'd yet either - but always have 28-30 days cycle so know AF is due 10th Dec - am going to wait until 11th/12th to test. It's only our first month TTC but have a PMA and keeping my fingers crossed xx
I'm not due till wednesday and I'm planning on testing on saturday if AF doesn't show. It hurts too much when you convince yourself your are only to get the double whammy, BFN and AF. Good luck to everyone. x.
After testing like mad last month (cheapie Amazon tests, so wasn't expecting to see a positive anyway) I've decided not to test until AF is late this month. Not ovulated yet, so in for a wait!!
