Early tester or test avoider?

[Joeysjourney]

I'm a test avoider! I'm 7dp5dt and I'm dreading testing. I think I'm happier not facing it!

Anyone else?

I've been cramping continuously since transfer day including a sharp pain or two around 3/4dp5dt on my left side. But I know that's where I had my cyst so could be that. Cramping likely the drugs. I've no other symptoms which of course worries me.

I've a blood test on Monday, after father's day. I'd considered testing on Sunday morning but it's too risky, I don't want to ruin the day in case it's bad news and I don't want to tell hubby on fathers day. 😭😭😭

Waiting sucks

Got myself a jigsaw puzzle to get me through the rest of the week!

Love to all of you xx

I think I fall into the test avoid camp too! I'm not cycling at the moment and haven't had a transfer in a while but the 3 transfers I had I never tested early, always on OTD which was 13dp5dt. I think its the best thing to do if you can hold out, I see people on here often testing early and it really seems very stressful as you can't relax no matter what the result. At times I've been tempted but then I think I may as well have longer in the bubble. Good luck and enjoy your jigsaw! Xx

Ooh spooky I was only thinking about this very thing earlier. I was thinking how I don't actually want to test, which I find weird. I feel happy just assuming everything is fine! This is our first try. My OTD is 21st June, but because we don't want to do it before work we were going to test 2 days early - fathers day. Like you say ... risky! I've also had lots of cramping on and off, more intense than before a period, so not sure if that's a good or bad thing 🤔 love the idea of a jigsaw, I might have to order myself one! Xx

I’m scared of a false positive so wait till test date. Which for me is tomorrow 😬. Feeling sick at the thought! 🤞🏼

I am camp avoid and also camp jigsaw puzzle! Seriously, nothing else could make me sit still after my transfer. Wishing you so much luck for Monday 🧡. If you’re not keen on finding out via phone call could maybe do a HPT Monday after bloods have been taken xxxx

Avoid defiantly 🫣 I was a day past OTD. Hubby had to make me test. I just didn’t want to know but like he says once you know you can start to move past that bit and whatever happens you deal with it together 🤞🏻😘🥰🍀

I am definitely a test avoider. I had two transfers (both failed unfortunately) and I waited until the OTD to test. I was holding off beacause I feared to see the negative result and not testing allowed me to hold on to hope for a bit longer. Wishing best of luck with your result 😊

Test avoider! Even after a positive I avoided testing again so when I went for my scan they were surprised I didn’t already know I had had a chemical!

I took it once at the very start when I knew it was too early and would never be detected .. to get seeing the not pregnant over with so I would be prepared for it. I waited till after the doctor told me on the phone I was.. then I ran in and took the test.

In the minority here, but I am an early tester as I simply cannot cope with waiting!!

[ZiggyandBC]

I’m definitely team avoid! I’m actually not wanting to do a test when it comes to ours, our clinic does blood tests so I think I’ll just wait for that. The thought of seeing another BFN is just too much! If the blood test is positive from the clinic I’d definitely go out and buy a test! 😂❤️

I’ve just realised that I’m a test avoider. I’ve always waited until OTD, which for me has always been a blood test, which can be done sooner than a home test.

But in this last cycle my clinic only gave me a home test. I actually did test 2 days early, because I wanted to know the results before going back to work, however knowing the results hasn’t relaxed me. It’s made me doubt the results and want to keep testing to confirm. It’s a BFP btw. However if it doesn’t last and there is a next time I definitely won’t test early for any reason! X
