... or not if you're a pee pusher I guess.

I had one single brown spot on Monday, red spotting yesterday, and one brown spot today. This is my first 2WW. I am very temped to test tomorrow but it's only 11DPO.

I don't know what to do. Also, I still haven't heard from my RE as to the results of my progesterone draw on Monday.

ETA: RE just called. Ovulation CD 21 confirmed. My progesterone on Monday was 13!

  • I'd probably try and hold out until the weekend if you think you're going to be really disappointed if it's not positive..  It's not 100% clear exactly how many DPO you are and since you don't have another 2ww to compare to, I'd be guarded.  But that's just me.  If you don't think you'll be really upset at a BFN, then go for it tomorrow morning!





    dx:  Unexplained IF (mild MFI)

     TTC since May 2011, 1 year trying, and then 3 TI, 2 IUI = BFN

    IVF #1 (May 2013):  Antagonist Protocol: 
    24R, 18M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 2 early blasts, no frosties = BFN
    IVF #2 (August 2013):  Lupron Stop Protocol: 
    28R, 23M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 1 partially hatched blast, 7 frosties = BFP
    EDD 5/23/14, blighted ovum (6w6d), D&C (8w6d)
    FET #1 (April 2014):  transferred 2 5d blasts = BFP

  • I would do it only if you are okay with seeing a possible negative.  It's hard when you don't have other cycles to compare to, so you don't know how long your normal LP is.  Good luck!!

  • First I just have to say that I'm so excited for you to finally have a 2WW to worry about when to pee on sticks!

    But I would try to hold off a little more.  See if you can wait it out till Saturday.  That would put you at 13DPO, and hopefully by then you would have the results back from your test on Monday.

    This is coming from someone who took one at 6DPO during my first 2WW because I finally had a 2WW to worry about.  So if you want to test, and it won't make you disappointed to see a negative, then go for it.

  • First, OMG I'm so excited you definitely O'd!! WOOHOO!! Seriously, I'm so fucking excited for you right now! No injectables next cycle (if "next cycle" happens)!!!

    As to the "to test or not to test" debate, if you've got the cheapies, give one a try! Just keep in mind that even at 14DPO, mine was pretty darn light, so I'd be prepared to see the negative just in case. If you want go expensive/FRER, I miiiiiight try to wait until Friday; 12DPO is so much more reliable than 11.

  • I'm with the PPs... Don't test unless you're ok with the idea that it could be negative due to testing too early. If you're ok with the potential, definitely go for it! If not, I would wait until the weekend. Keeping everything crossed for you!

  • I agree with PPs; if you won't be too upset with a BFN, go for it! Otherwise, wait a few days just to be sure.  Either way, I'm so excited that you finally O'd!!! I'd call that a success no matter what happens next!

  • I'm so happy you O'd! I'm a pee pusher, so I'm not help. I would be POAS every day. ;)

  • I'd probably wait a couple more days; however, I'm most likely to wrong person to ask as I've gone pee happy since coming off BCP.  Good luck and congrats on having a definite 2WW!

  • I'm the same as @Sgautschi, I would have already POAS every day!!
  • ACK!!!! YAY FOR O!!!!

    I'd try and hold out til Saturday morning though.

    FX for you!!
  • I always tried to hold off as long as possible, not knowing what my LP length was. I'd usually make 13dpo before giving in. I wouldn't test any earlier than 12dpo!
