To Test Not To Test...

So Here's the question.....should I test?  Should I not test?  I seriously have POAS-itis.  Just because I have one I really want to POAS.  So...AF would be here tomorrow or Thursday.  I've been pretty regular with the cycles since the m/c.  What do you think?  I'm really want to wait until friday but I JUST CAN'T!!!!  Majority rules.

Thanks for your help!!!

with my last pregnancy I tested starting like 10 dpo-  I got negatives until somewhere around 16 dpo....  now he has a chipped tooth, has a healed broken toe, a big knot on the back of his head (really, he did all of these things when I was watching him and was within feet of him-  I am not a bad mom!) and is only 18 months old!

I'd say WAIT until you miss AF.

Otherwise you could just be burning money. I was a POAS addict and had to tone it down. Those tests really add up.

Oh, I'm sorry,,,ugh. I know it's hard and especially with the day. It will happen, it's just the waiting for it to happen that really stinks! We're starting over again this month, too. So I'm right there with you.
But, on the positive side, maybe it was just a little too early. It's not over until she shows.

DH  says to do it.  I'm pretty good with the outcome.  Just don't want it to be a BFN today.  It can be tomorrow but not today.  I miscarried 1 year ago today.  I think if I don't do it today though then I will wait till friday.  I'm really really leaning to today.  Why is it that when you get the nerve to do it then you NEVER have to pee???

Testing would put your mind at ease (kind of).  You would at least know how to help yourself out then.  (such as treating yourself as prego or not).

I would wait but I've been getting cold feet about it for the last few cycles. I hate seeing the BFN. If your temps are up though, that is a good sign! I guess it depends on how you deal with the news...I found it easier to wait for af. You may have some great news though! Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful but I did cast my vote. Around here, you'll have way more votes to POAS...we're all POAS addicts...lol

If I'm gonna do it I gotta work up the flow.  Don't have to go anytime soon.  Plus it's best to hold it awhile isn't it?  Still don't know what to do.
