I also really like to have information as soon as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2357889 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 10:44:12 +0000 ElbieKay 2357889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last time I was "drink til pink" so I tested religiously.</p> <p>Also, I like information.</p> <p>We didn't have any serious fertility issues, but I still took ovulation tests obsessively so I could form my own opinion about my due date! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2357251 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:18:57 +0000 Cherrybee 2357251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the drama! I'm 17 weeks now with our last baby and every time I go into the supermarket and walk past the tests I feel sad I will never do another one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2357247 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:12:50 +0000 auggiefrog 2357247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a few CP's in a row, I didn't feel like seeing the lines of I was having another one. I finally tested after I was a few days late, and only because I wanted to know 100% for an appointment that day. I'm 18 weeks now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356753 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 23:02:24 +0000 californiadreams 2356753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never planned to test too early, like i always tried to wait until i was supposed to at least get my period....but since i discovered through OPKs that i ovulate late in my cycle, my period was initially coming before i expected and then i ended up testing on 10 dpo the cycle i had a positive because it was the longest dpo i had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356751 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 22:53:51 +0000 Mrs. D 2356751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I test early because I'm sure all the symptoms I'm feeling are different than pre-period. Most of the time, it's all in my head, and I should have waited so I wasn't wasting tests. This month I"m going to try and wait it out until 14dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356726 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 22:07:21 +0000 Torchwood 2356726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy testing, and am super impatient. I think had I seen more negatives (in four pregnancies there was only one month we tried and didn't get pregnant) I wouldn't have wanted to keep risking seeing them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356685 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 21:23:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2356685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like testing, it makes me feel like I'm doing something.</p> <p>Didn't find out with this one until 56 DPO.... sure made for a quick pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356667 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 21:06:56 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 2356667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't seem to wait even though I want to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356653 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 20:41:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 2356653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last time I tested early, partly because I was so impatient, partly because I wanted to have a drink :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356637 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 20:14:56 +0000 lovehoneybee 2356637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested at 10DPO this time, on a total whim because it was our first month TTC and it was a whim to get it out of my system :silly: </p> <p>Last time I didn't test unless my period was late, because seeing negatives just wore me down after a while. The morning I got a BFP with Ev I only tested because the morning my period was due my temp shot up high instead of dropping like normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356621 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:47:28 +0000 MrsRoo 2356621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I'm incredibly inpatient. So I start taking tests at like 9dpo and then when I got my BFPs, I just kept watching the line get darker. Good thing this is my last pregnancy. I may have a POAS problem. Definitely makes for a long pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356605 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:18:37 +0000 wrkbrk 2356605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I found out at 3 weeks 3 days, too. ;) Now I am sitting here at 39 weeks 2 days a-waitin' .... !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356601 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:15:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2356601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I test before I get my blood drawn for my beta results because I don't want to meltdown on the phone with the nurse.</p> <p>I'm also impatient! I waited 7 days past my transfer (12dpo) this last time and it felt like forever. Whenever I got through another transfer cycle I'm sure I will test early again. </p> <p>You're right though, it does make pregnancy feel very long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-test-early#post-2356590 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:05:46 +0000 winniebee 2356590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we are TTC I just love taking tests....so that's why I tend to test early. But then it makes for a VERY long pregnancy. I think next time we are TTC I'm going to wait until after a missed period....so that I'm not like 3 weeks 3 days when I find out :silly: </p>
