Fighting the urge...

[SmithyBaby]

Help! I am really fighting the urge to POAS right now and I know it would be a BFN as it is far far too early. I am CD17 of a 27 day cycle and roughly 5dpo I think. I am not 100% as opks have been too strange to tell. Basing on how I feel, when I usually ovulate and my CM I am around that.
What do you all do in the 2WW to stop yourselves POAS? I only have one FRER in the house and I don't want to waste it but I am worried I will have a mad 5 minutes and use it. Why is this so tempting lol.

I think I’m just so used to getting negatives that now I don’t even bother as AF always shows. However last month I did POAS at 10 dpo and of course it was negative so I think that’s cured me again for another while.

Yeah. I did one of the freebies that came with my opk just to pee on something a few months back when we were trying then but it was BFN. Like a dog marking it's territory just peeing on sticks

I was like this until in August I did poas since something ridiculous like 7DPO and finally I got my positive on the 12DPO that got darker on 14DPO and than it started to get lighter on the next few days and than I had a miscarriage that if I didn't test so early I wouldn't notice and I would think it was AF. It is been so a horrible feeling to see that positive and get so excited, we were over the moon to fall down and smash on the floor few days after that I promise to myself I will never never test early again. I don't wish to nobody what I gone through, so I always suggest to wait. If it is meant to be it will be, try to relax and enjoy either the wait as hard it is, this is my suggestion, anyway

Pee on an opk! This is what do when tge urge is strong! Lol.

Seriously though, as much as I'm an early tester, testing at 5dpo is much to early and will 100% result in a bfn if you have your ov dates right. 9dpo is when I start early testing normally xx

OPK!!!
That will help you smithy.
Please don’t use your FRER it is way to early at 5dpo and will get a BFN. X

Oh I know it's too early and the disappointment isn't worth it. Just hate the feeling of wanting to know. 2WW is so agonising. Had such a busy week at work but last night and this morning it sort of consumed me with wanting to know. Time will tell I guess.

Buy a bag of internet cheapies.....satisfys my urge to poas but then I keep frer for when I'm actually late.

Or in current circumstances I have promised myself I won't use frer until I actually get a hint if a line on a cheapie. But I've been TTC for 18 months now x

I might amazon prime them Nikki. It's a terrible wait. Hoping you don't have to wait much longer for your bfp. 18 months must be hard xx

I agree, had a positive as well for days, then started bleeding and it was gone. I didn't test early I waited until after period was due, I took multiple tests. I never want to go through that again, ever. I will wait until I am 2 weeks late now, I am heartbroken still
