Question

Afraid to be disappointed by taking the HPT...???

Okay, so I am about 12 dpo as best I can tell (I don't temp, but I chart my external CM), however I do know my period should start by Friday. I am very, very dizzy and have extremely sore and sensitive breasts. I also slept until 12:30 pm on Saturday, which I haven't done in years and I have been going to bed really early. Anyway, I am scared to take an HPT because I am really afraid to be disappointed. Anyone have any advice or in the same boat???

I would test on Saturday if Aunt Flo hasn't arrived yet. I've been trying for 11 months so I totally get the anticipation and the fear of the negative - you are more likely to get a false negative if you test now than if you test on Saturday. That doesn't mean you can't get a positive now but I think in terms of getting a more definitive answer and not having to deal with extra confusion and wondering if it is negative....I'd wait personally.

If you test today with the First Response early response test, you will get an accurate reading. it's about $16 for 2 so it's a little expensive but you will have peace of mind.

FRER won't necessarily give you an accurate answer this early - the one time I got pregnant I didn't get a positive until I was 4 days late (with the early test test)
