Question

POAS Addicts - HELP! Cant stop testing!

sometimes I think having all these tests available hurts more than helps. I am 9dpo and have tested for the last 4 days.
All BFN..

And I know its too early. How can I stop being a crazy woman? Everytime my boob twinges, I swear I might be pregnant and test.

This is silly. Is anyone else acting on this absurdity as well?

Really hoping for that super faint line so I justify all this madness.

I'm a crazy woman too. When the POAS syndrome bites us the only thing you can do is test! Haha! But seriously...even when I'm on BC, I still test all the time. Is there a POAS Anonymous???? ;)

I typically start testing at 8DPO. I have low progesterone during the luteal phase and will need progesterone supplementation if I get a BFP so I don't have a 6th loss so, for me, I feel like it's pretty worth it to test early and often. I'm always so paranoid that if I wait to test by the time I get a BFP I'll have waited too long to start progesterone.

So basically I test like a crazy lady twice a day from 8DPO till my period.

I just buy a bunch of internet cheapies (Wondfos are my favorites so far) and then I can test relatively guilt free. I feel like my peace is mind is absolutely worth the 50 cents a test or whatever.

You're not alone in your POAS addiction. :)
