Just curious if there are more of us who test early and often or wait it out like good girls

With ds I test a week after af was supposed to come. Now that I am ttc, although this is my first month, I can't imagine being able to wait-that is just how I am and the tests are cheap so...I will probably start testing at 6dpo

I'm 8dpo... with dd i tested and got pos at (an u/s confirmed) 6 days past conception... with ds i tested at something like 11dpo...

I'm getting nautious but im so afraid it's just nerves to find out whether or not it's finally happened.

I'm bullying myself into waiting until next wednesday (15dpo) to test, any earlier and i go crazy and spend a ton on tests.

With ds 1 I tested day af was due because tem was up...before that I had dissapoited myself and was not yet familliar with ICs.

Last month I spent $35-40 on frer bfn's

this month swore I would not test until af due...still 2 more days, but what the hay....I may have even gotten a ++++ at 9dpo

First time with ICs so want to get frer to check.

I have tested a couple times around 11 or 12dpo, now I just wait for AF to arrive, have not tested at all the last two cycles. I figure with all the evap lines and chemical pregnancies I have seen on this and another site I visit, I would rather just wait it out. And the few times I did test, that glaringly stark white BFN didn't do anything for my mood. When I was pregnant in March I had not been charting and was surprised when AF was late. It was wonderful to take that HPT and see a bright, right away line. If I get pregnant again I would prefer to see something that I know is a positive than squint and tilt an HPT trying to see something. But that is just me...I certainly understand the desire to test early and have done it before...just not doing it any more.

It varies month to month, depending on my mood. Sometimes, I start testing as early as 10dpo, and other times, I have the willpower to wait and see if AF shows up.
