Test a day early

[jenben81]

Ok, need some advice. First FET after 3 failed IUIs, due to test on Wednesday morning. I have 2 tests to do it. I gotta go to work straight after and concerned that I'll be very upset if I get a negative and gotta 'pick myself up' and carry on. So thinking of doing it tomorrow night, get my head around whatever the result may be, and doing a reconfirm test on Wednesday. At least I'll be better prepared on Wednesday.

But then another part of me is like: do this properly, like the nurse ordered! Plus urine is supposed to be better in the morning... but either way I'll be doing another test in Wednesday.

Just to add, I'm doing this solo so I won't have anyone around me to hug if the results are bad.

If this were me yesterday, I wouldn't have done a test at all at all- couldnt cope with the the idea of having to go through a test. Now I'm coming round to going ahead with it. It's amazing how your mind plays tricks with you.

What would you do?

Hey. Oooh not long now. That makes complete sense and I personally did my test this morning the day before my otd for the exact same reason. I was off today but not tomorrow so wanted to do it when not having to rush off. Therefore def do what u feel be most comfortable for u and u def get an accurate result as only one day. Then u could do it Wednesday as well just so u did test on otd too.

Best wishes with the test. Hope u get ur bfp. Know we all here no matter what xx

I see you got you BFP!! I'm only too delighted for you. What a relief for you sista! I'm now contemplating getting up super early on Weds, then going back to bed for an hour or two, regardless of the results. I'm tormenting myself now. I might feel completely different again tomorrow (eg the fear might come back ten-fold) so I'll play it by ear for now... again, super delighted for you x

Thank u. Yeah am v pleased it is v good indeed. Though the next stage of anxiety comes in now i.e will it last. Anyhoo all can do is have hope that it maybe my time.

With regards to ur testing maybe do try that in the morning and see how u feel. It is such a scary thing to do. I did not want to look this morning but at same time knowing is also so good as then can plan what’s next well to some extent. Go with ur gut hun of what best for u and take another bit of courage to get that outcome. U can do it💪💪. We all know how it can feel so def not alone in so many ways. Really have everything 🤞🤞🤞 for u xx

Could you not wee tomorrow morning and store it till the night and do the test after work tomorrow night ? I wouldn’t be able to do it and go to work and put a brave face on - it’s too hard x x ps good luck x x

[jenben81 in reply to Lolepops]

Not a bad idea at all actually. Knowing me, I'd take the sample, then go ahead anyway. Think I'll sleep on it, then decide tomorrow. Maybe even get up at 5am on the Weds so I can go back to bed for an hour or two. Either way, if it's bad news, I'm going to be upset anyway. I think just before work is not a good call anyway... thanks for your advice x

I’ve always gotten darker lines later in the day than with FMU anyway. I’ve had positives following a fresh IVF and two FETs, all at 4dp5dt. How many days past are you? Good luck!
