We've all been there.... Day 11,12,13,14 post ovulation and it starts.

How early can I test?
5 days before?
Maybe 4?
Oh, well 2 days before AF will tell me for sure!!
I have an extra HPT, I'll just try it and see, but I won't get discouraged if it is a BFN.

But DON'T DO IT!!! Don't test too early...

If you need support to keep you from testing too early, post here! We'll help you save some money on HPT's and keep you from going insane not knowing if AF is coming.

My name is Mandy, and I have a problem testing early.....

I have the TTC neon sign of "early tester" hoovering above my head and guess what, AF came today....2 days early just to spite me for testing early!

Tabbyco-Thanks for creating this thread-great idea.

Welcome Mandy. The first step to getting help is admitting you have a problem.

That old witch taught you a lesson!

I have problem testing early too! I know how it feels when you so want to test it but its just not the right time yet. Maybe chart your temperature will keep you away a little to do a test early? That's how I try not to test it way too early or I should say to prevent myself get tested everyday :X

I just had spotting yesterday, sooooo eager to test! But I won't know if I've missed my P until at least 4 days time.

I too was a premature tester, but after $100 worth of HPT's (my friend bought them for me with her flex spending account money she was going to lose) I am down to only 2 digital read outs.... I'm saving those babies for the real thing!!

Hi my name is Julie and I've been prematurely testing for the past two months. I used my last test yesterday morning and sure enough AF came to visit by noon. I resolve not to buy any more tests - those things are expensive.

Funny post.

Stay strong ladies!! I am only 4 DPO (days post ovulation) and I want to test so badly, b/c I leave for Vegas on Sunday. I am trying to justify it by saying, "Oh, well I should know incase I have a cocktail w/ clients..." Um... no, it will come up negative even if you are pregnant, you silly girl...

You must be dying to test. Sorry, that probably isn't helping....

Want to have a "No Test" challenge? Neither of us can test until 18 DPO. Whoever caves has to send the other an HPT.

Challenge is open to anyone who is interested...
