    I don't know what SS means.... but I picked it. I only test to prove I'm not ovulating right now. So I don't qualify for any other choices!

    I pretty much didn't ever test, unless I passed my longest LP.  With my first IVF, I tested around 6dp5dt (essentially 11dpo).  I'll probably do the same this time around.

    I've only tested a couple of times. Once was before I was temping and my cycle was going really long (for me). I obviously wasn't pg, I just had no idea when I'd O'd.

    The other time or two were off chance tests around 10 or 12 DPO (I can't really remember). But on the whole, I haven't tested, just watched my temps/waited for AF. Haven't had a "missed" AF to test after yet!

    I got my first BFP after an IUI cycle.  It was 11dpo.

    My second BFP was after IVF.  I got a negative at 14dpo, but then had a positive beta.  My first POAS positive was at 15dpo.  It was a late implanter.

    I'm debating what to do next time.

    Guess I should've voted for SS. I'm lucky if my cycle doesn't end with Provera. So there's really only been 1 chance of conceiving since we began TTC. That one time, I waited till AF came. If it hadn't, then I would've taken one around 14DPO.

    Way too early and way too much. I'm so over testing.

    ETA: Also, I tend to O a little early, around CD12, so when I've called the Dr. to report a BFP at 11-12DPO, the nurse just acts dumbfounded that I got a + that early. It's kind of annoying.

    I usually tell myself I'm going to wait until 12-13 DPO but every cycle I end up testing at 10-11 DPO. I might have to be forced to wait it out until AF is due because I am almost out of cheapies and I'm trying to save the FRER and the digis that I have in case I do ever get a BFP with a cheapie.

    Im a pee pusher, but I got my bfps at 7dp3dt and 8dp3dt soooo theres that for my self control. 

    I need to prepare my brain if its going to be a bfn and not just get the slap in the face beta call. I started AF gefore beta on ivf1 which made that kind of a done deal. My other thought is that so much specialness of this process is taken away with IF this was theone thing I could do privately with DH and have our moment together.
