Yes! When we were TTC, I tested like crazy...even after I got the BFP!!

This time around, since we're technically NTNP, I'm surprisingly NOT being Mrs. Testsalot...it's like I don't wanna know, lol. I'll just wait on AF to show up!

I usually tested the morning my period was due, and only if my BBT hadn't dropped, never before. I hated seeing negatives too much.

No, I was too chicken to test. The cycle we TTC I was under a fertility clinic and we had a preg test booked with them 14 days post ovulation so I didn't test myself ar all, wasn't even tempted. So even though I have a seven month old, I've never seen a positive pregnancy test for myself.

I tried not to. I made a few exceptions: I tested 2-3 days before AF was supposed to come because I was going out to an anniversary dinner with DH for wine and sushi!

The next month I tested before starting a diet.. Turns out I for a false negative because a week later my period was 3-4 days late, I tested and it was positive! I was shocked. Then felt so bad for being in a calorie restrictive diet that whole week.

Oh man, I'm so bad about it! I have NO self control

Not a few times a day, but I would test when I knew it was way too early. After that disappointment I'd wait until the day after I was supposed to get AF.

When I first started TTC I had no idea what DPO was and when you could take a pregnancy test and get an accurate result. So I tested when I noticed I had symptoms, metallic taste in my mouth, frequent peeing, and it was negative, for a least 3 days so I thought I was nuts, then I waited until my period tracking app said I had missed my period and tested again and it was positive.

I wasn't HORRIBLE but the one month I was really bad was the one I got my ! I think that's because I just felt so off I knew something was going on. I didn't believe any of them though because I knew it was early. Got the on the day my period was expected.

@regberadaisy: "WE!?!?!" There was no "we" when it came to testing for me. My body, I test whenever the heck I want. He "kindly suggested" I wait until I miss my period. I already had stock piled pregnancy tests at work and at home. I said, "Okay, dear" then BAM - LOOK! POSITIVE TEST!

Oh man, I could not have waited a week after AF was due!! And actually, since I was seeing an RE I would've had a blood test before that, lol. I was definitely a chronic tester.

Partially because I had a friend who got a positive at 7DPO. And partially because I was doing ovulation triggers that show up as positives at first. So I would test out the trigger and see if it would go away and come back, or get darker. Or just go away all together.

If I waited until a reasonable time frame, but before the blood test, I wouldn't have known if I'd seen a positive if it was real or the trigger. And the curiosity would be killing me. I'd rather know and be sad for a minute and go on with my day instead of wondering all day if I was or not. There were times though when the trigger combined with blue dye tests really messed with me and I was testing over and over, lol.

I was except for the month we got our BFP, even before TTC, the was worse than AF. BFP - I waited until the day after AF was due before testing

Oh yes! I started testing at 8DPO every month and even tested a few times in between just to be sure! Then, after my BFP, I went through 14 more tests over the course of about 3 weeks to make sure I was still pregnant! Oops. I still get that excited feeling when I see POAS posts now!!!
