    Hi,

    Going unreg as dont want my wife to see this (and feel pressure!)

    Just wondering what people thought about doing pregnancy tests while TTC? Wife and I are trying and I really hate getting to the month end and waiting for period. I am wondering all the time and looking at the days. Its all I can think about!

    Was going to ask the wife if she would mind doing a pregnancy test on day 28 so at least I will know there and then (probably) if its a miss. I dont like all the uncertainty.

    Would this put pressure on my wife?

    Thanks Guys

    TTC is not an exact science, yes you can calculate dates and temps and get the bext aproximate time but it's nature not science, when does a flower bloom, when it's ready.
    You can go about helping with providing the best optimal conditions but it is a case of if and when it happens it happens.

    Persisent serial testing can be very hard to endure, upseting frustrating and stressfull
    all of which can be conterproductive to getting pregnant.

    So which is more imporant your need to know asap or the stress that can cause?

    I would seriously suggest you, do your best to sort out your head and heart and try get into the chilled mind set on it, I know the single track hyperfocus that can happen until a couple get pregnant and it is a lot of pressure.

    While we know a lot about the human body and how we can see it works there is still a lot we don't know and that applies to the female reproductive cycle.

    I know the idea of schrondingers pregnancy can be hard to cope with and the are we/ are we not pregant but when it happens you'll know.
