 Don't take any pregnancy tests before that blood test. Chances of seeing a positive that early are low and it was harder on me emotionally to see that negative than to just wait. Not to mention, they are expensive, and you have enough to spend on.

I agree with every you said except this. I think it depends on what kind of person you are whether or not you POAS before the blood test. For some people, like you, seeing a BFN is too emotional. And seeing a BFP and it being a chemical pregnancy I'm sure would be devastating. For myself, not POAS is the worst. I can handle a BFN, because I just say "today I'm not pregnant" and it helps to put the symptoms I'm having into perspective (it's just the PIO, even though I know that logically. It helps to see it) And even if I get a BFP, I just say "I'm pregnant today", but don't get super excited until I get my beta (and 2nd beta). So I buy the super cheap Wondfo's on Amazon and pee away.

TL:DR-- if POAS stresses you out, don't do it. If not POAS stresses you out, do it.  [/quote]
