I have been lurking on these boards since I started my first IVF process in August. I've read over and over not to do the hpt and I just did one!! I swore I wouldn't but had one left over from when we were doing the IUI and figured I'd do it. I got a negative and am a little bummed although I think it's too early to depend on it. I am 5dp5dt.
I will listen to you ladies from now on. They are evil I didn't think they would have an effect on me but it did!!!
I have just been thinking about doing a HPT but have decided against it after reading your post. It is so difficult during 2WW, and I can't say that HPT are going to do us any favours. Hang in there
