#40: Stop Wasting Pregnancy Tests (and Tears): The Truth About Testing Too Early
If you’ve ever peed on a stick at 7 or 8 DPO, spiraled at the negative, and then gotten your period a few days later — this episode is for you.
The truth is: a negative test that early doesn’t mean you’re not pregnant. It usually just means your body hasn’t had time to finish the process yet. But because most women don’t fully understand what’s happening in the luteal phase, they end up stressed, confused, and wasting money (and tears) on early testing.
In this episode, I’ll break down:
Why testing too early almost always backfires
What’s actually happening during the luteal phase and “window of receptivity”
Why luteal phase length matters for fertility (and what a short luteal phase could mean)
Quick wins you can use right now to support progesterone, trust your signs, and stop guessing
You don’t need to torture yourself with early testing. You need to understand your body — so you can feel grounded, confident, and supported during the two-week wait.
👉 Ready for more personalized support? That’s exactly what we do inside Confident Conception Coaching. Let’s make this the season where you finally feel in control of your fertility journey. DM me the word FERTILE on Instagram or click here to inquire.
