Controlling the urge to pee on everything!

[househunter]

So this is not an advice seeking thread, but does anyone else have a hard time controlling the urge to test? I seriously ovulated yesterday I think and I am wanting to test. Logically I know I'm jumping the gun a ton, but I wanna know!! 😂😂

I'm the opposite. I wait as long as possible so I don't see a negative

I think this is the difference between not trying very long, and trying longer. I felt that way the first few months, but now I hate seeing the negative so much, I only test if it's 14DPO and my temp is still up.

agree with bcv513 and compassrose - I have a pack of 20 tests and I think I've used maybe 2-3 (and one was before my HSG just to be 100% sure even though my period just ended). My thinking is knowing a few days early won't change the outcome if it is positive and will save me an entire day of the sads if it is negative. I test the day after I expected my period.

Me too. My period has to be a week late.

We're so jaded. Lol

I can sort of relate to this because I am without a doubt the least patient person on earth (tm) but I'm sure if it takes us many cycles to conceive I'll start to slide into jaded territory. We haven't done any active cycles yet so I can't say how I will act, but spoiler alert, probably like a crazy person.

I'm the same way, although first cycle, I didn't make it to a week before I tested.  We're only three cycles into this, so I'm trying SO hard not to become super crazy.  It's not working well.  This cycle has been the worst, because I actually did OPKs this time, so I officially know I'm in the 2WW (as opposed to just guessing), and now I just want to know if it worked.

I feel this way about OPKs already. First cycle, I was all about them. This cycle, I've only bothered to do one 3-4 times. I'd rather just keep assuming I'm fertile until I get a temp spike than deal with seeing so many freaking negatives.
