Patience is a virtue

Help me out ladies! How do I keep my mind away from testing! I’m only 6 dpo and know nothing will come of a test if I do one now. I just want nothing more than to know. I have been crampy today and think it’s a little soon for period cramps. Hopeful that it’s implantation but in reality I’m just dying to take a test and find out!

Just stay busy and do things like normal, if you start testing early you'll get anxious and frustrated every month! I know, because I did that for a year out of a year and a half of trying for a second baby. I was throwing in the towel after this last cycle, I didn't take a test until 14DPO and it was still a faint positive! It has been a week, and it's gotten much darker, but I was shocked and soo excited because I was content with either outcome. I had no symptoms at all, I felt more tired than usual and wanted to nap during the day but that was about it. I would spend time with your partner and doing things you enjoy, because once you do get a positive test everything is about the pregnancy and baby. Focus on you and be cautiously optimistic!

I'm 6dpo today, too. 🙈 The wait sucks, but a negative test is worse! I refuse to test until my period is actually late. Luckily, the weather here is getting nicer so I'm gonna focus on that and getting outside more this next week while I wait! Good luck to you! 🤞

I’m 6dpo too! I just started taking ovulation tests again to see if there’s a rise in my LH so I know if I should test in a few days or not.

I am 7dpo and same, felt a lil crampy and was tempted to take an early test but I will wait until at least 1 day missed period to have a more accurate test. Good luck to you and all of us here ttc 🫶🏼
