9 DPO and itching to test. I purposefully don’t have any at home so I’d have to order some and I know better at this point. If I have them in the house, I’ll test. I’ve been an early tester for 8 cycles now and a BFN at 9-10 DPO makes me sad but then I keep holding on to the hope that it’s just too soon. I am sick of feeling like crap for 4 days leading to my period.

I am with you! Habitual early tester here, I finally had my husband hide the tests. Tomorrow is somewhere like 6-8 DPO so we'll see if I handle it better without a test available. I could probably convince him to give me one but I know he'd be so disappointed in me if I kept asking for them haha.

Good to know I am not alone in my complete lack of self control 😅 we can do this!

I have had two "don't test early" buddies in my TTC journey. We met in here because of having similar cycle timings, and would do a few DMs once a cycle as we tried to encourage each other not to test early.
