There was some hope when you were taking the test. Then that hope was snatched away from you when you read the bfn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327941 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 11:24:53 +0000 littlek 1327941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sprite: Scientific research :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327937 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 11:23:56 +0000 Sprite 1327937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF is worse because it means all hope for the cycle is definitely over. BFNs are easier, since I only use cheap wondfos and I can still hold out a glimmer of hope until the end, which is way, way better than the uncertainty of not testing early.</p> <p>Also, I feel like by testing early I'm doing my part to gather data for the whole "what DPO did you get your BFP" question. If everyone waited til AF showed, where would we get the anecdotal info to obsess over! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327739 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 10:35:07 +0000 Happygal 1327739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Radish: same! I still hold out hold with a BFN, even if I know it's pretty unlikely that I'm pregnant. When AF arrives, the waiting and wondering is over, and I can move on to a new cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327736 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 10:33:45 +0000 Radish 1327736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFN. A BFN still means uncertainty and worry and AF is for sure. I also like that AF is like a new start and you can make a new game plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327721 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 10:30:06 +0000 savanarunner 1327721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A late AF and BFN is the absolute worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327643 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 10:02:40 +0000 MrsTiz 1327643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFN is worse. Because not only does it say "not this time!", but you could have tested too early, and..worst of all - you had to pay for it to tell you that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327637 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:59:50 +0000 buffalove 1327637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFN is way worse for me. I was left wondering "maybe it's too early" and still waiting for AF. </p> <p>I looked at AF as the beginning of a new cycle and getting to try again in another 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327603 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:45:28 +0000 Adira 1327603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFN is worse. That's why I always wait until the weekend AFTER AF is due to test! Usually AF just showed up and I didn't even get a chance to test, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327599 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:43:03 +0000 bhbee 1327599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I'm with you! it's nice in theory to wait for AF and then it's CD1 already . . . but it's the waiting that is worse for me. I get my BFN letdown around 12dpo and then just wait for AF and am very happy to see her when she arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327521 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:13:48 +0000 Alivoo01 1327521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Ditto!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327487 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:02:35 +0000 Littlebit 1327487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Waiting for AF was worse for me. I just want to know if I'm pregnant or not so I can come to terms with it and move on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327481 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 08:56:59 +0000 Mrs tartan 1327481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gahd they are both pretty awful but there is nothing worse than getting a BFN and then having to wait for AF to arrive. Once this happened to me and I was 2 weeks late, worst two weeks ever as I was in limbo wishing for AF to show, not ovulating, not getting ready for TWW just stuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327050 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:00:33 +0000 dc yoga bee 1327050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFN! I hate those stark white state me downs! Also, I hate the whole anticipation that maybe I tested too early (which I always do anyways). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1327014 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:46:43 +0000 sapphire 1327014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least with AF you can start the count in your next cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326646 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 19:13:08 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1326646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF is worse- it means no hope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326576 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:30:47 +0000 Running Elley 1326576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF showing was always worse for me. I'd rather see a BFN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326575 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:29:21 +0000 knittylady 1326575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that white space where you want so badly to see a line is the worst. Maybe because I still have hope that maybe it's too early etc.,? AF is so definite and you can just break out the wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326552 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:16:58 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1326552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had the pleasure of testing once. Usually AF bums me out, but AF coming late and seeing :bfn: was way worse. Next time I am going to wait at 4-5 days after AF expected arrival. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326518 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:02:13 +0000 HolisticMama 1326518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF means I get to start on the next cycle. Fresh start! Game on!</p> <p>BFN? </p> [attach=4604/14/mz1zzq.253x199.batshit-crazy-lol-cat.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326498 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:57:02 +0000 mrs. 64 1326498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I answered the poll wrong. I thought AF was worse than BFN because I always held out the delusional hope that it was too soon to test and that my BFP would arrive the next day. The only month that I swore I wouldn't test at all and just wait til AF was the time I got my bfp, go figure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326446 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:39:02 +0000 sandy 1326446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate seeing a BFN...but it's so hard to wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326408 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:23:00 +0000 pui 1326408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I much preferred seeing AF than a BFN. I always waited for AF before testing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326400 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:19:59 +0000 Torchwood 1326400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate bfn's, but less so with wondfos. Like @twodoghouse, I could always convince myself there was still hope. Bfn's on frer's were awful. I did that once and never bought them again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326383 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:11:29 +0000 twodoghouse 1326383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seem to be the odd one out, but I preferred getting BFN to waiting and getting AF. I just kept telling myself that it was too early, or my urine was too diluted, or maybe there's a tiny bit of a line, or look, here's some person on the internet that got a BFP 3 days after her period was due, etc. Obviously I had a POAS problem... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326372 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:09:19 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1326372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFN!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326369 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:08:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1326369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bfn is worse for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326367 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:07:28 +0000 Crystal 1326367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFN. </p> <p>Because then I not only waste the test, but drive myself crazier thinking its maybe too early to test, so stay hopeful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worst-for-you-personally-af-or-bfn#post-1326366 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:07:26 +0000 Smurfette 1326366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: me too </p>
