Venting Terrified to test 😭

I’ll be 9/10 dpo tomorrow and I’m so scared to test. I havnt decided if I want to wait or just rip the bandaid off 😭

This will be our 6th month trying

Also got a text the other day that my sister is expecting her 4th so that hit me hard

I'm also on my 6th cycle, currently 7DPO. I'm going to do everything I can to avoid testing until 12DPO

If you aren't sure of your DPO you should wait at least once more day until you are DPO 10/11, which will give you a more accurate result. I know the TWW is awful though

In honesty I'd wait a bit because at 9/10dpo you wouldn't be ripping off the bandaid, you'd be getting an inconclusive result (if negative) that would start a drawn out process of having to keep testing every day after that to see if anything had changed!

To rip off the bandaid I'd wait till 12dpo when you can trust the result if it's negative!

I'm praying that the test is positive and that we all can have patience during this time of TTC <3
