I'm Currently Feeling: | Anyone get the urge and test early? I'm so tempted to as I had period pains towards the end of last week (AF due Wednesday) and now they have gone and are replaced with unbelievably sore boobs, I feel generally 'weird' and I am completely exhausted.
The things that will stop me testing till Thursday are: - Tests are so expensive, I don't want to waste one when I know they are less accurate 2 days before AF than if I tested on Wednesday or Thursday.
- I don't want to be dissapointed to find out that it's negative
- Knowing my luck AF will be here first thing Wednesday morning like last month.

I just want to fast forward 48 hours and then I'll have more of an idea if my symptoms are just a sign of AF or not.
Does or has anyone tested early? I know I will end up waiting till Thursday but I'm just nosy  | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | ME!!!!!!!!!!! I know exactly how you feel. I had a blighted ovum back in March and not really tried again (not through timing) until the last 3 months. I am very tempted but like you, feel like I'm jinxing everything, rushing, the disappointment , I don't have the symptoms I had last time although my boobs have been sore since I had my last "weird" period! Nothing before, no period pains, no signs at all. Had a few headaches and dizziness before my period (which as I said on another thread was 28 days ..... never before has this happened!), but no pains, in fact I was in shock, did not expect it. In fact I was in so much shock I didn't feel disappointed I had come on!!!
Hang on Snowball, chatter away to us all, keep your mind of it, Thurs will be here before you know it  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I had the incredible urge to poas at 4DPO!  but, no, I didn't test. I am waiting until Sunday-ish to see what happens with my temps...
Last time I poas early and say the bfn, all I could think about (other than, damn, I wanted to see 2 lines!) was - damn, there's $1.13 wasted!  (Damn accountant's brain..) |

| i'm way to scared to test!! i always wait for af not to come, but then she always comes so i never get a chance to test   i did one once when i thought i pregnant a few months ago and af was a couple of days late. the test was a bfn and af came about 2 hours later grrrrr (i'm so bad, i want all of you to test as i want to know who gets their bfp but i won't even test myself  ) |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I am a victim of early POAS too! I got a BFN at 7DPO. AF was due yesterday and still has not showed. Now I am too scared to test, so i will wait a few more days to see what happens. I have a feeling that AF is going to come, but will come late.......wait and see. |
