Get me a straitjacket...I can't stop testing my pee because I've lost my mind.

In a nutshell;
-Been with hubby now 10years, married for 2
-Decided to start trying for a baby
-Never been on the pill, all hail the wonders of condoms
-I ovulated on the 4th June and baby danced on both 4th and 5th
-Im taking STUPID tests every single day (cheapo amazon and SD)
-all were negative but of course I'm testing TOO EARLY
-and breathe...

I need some direction ladies. Why am I feeling so intensely crazy? I can't even wait another 5 days till period is due. Okay so I feel some weird symptoms, like a period pain type of niggling pain every night, a silly tonne of flatulence and hysteria. I just can't stop testing.

I even had a very vivid and incredibly real dream this morning that 2 lines appeared. So I tested but still a BFN.

How can I stop myself from testing every day? Has anyone else been a mad woman and done this?

@JustAMuggle...CD43? How long are you cycles normally?

I also looked into Acupuncture.. but seeing as i HATE needles.. i didn't think that this was a good idea! haha Are you going to do it?

I will have a look for that book in Tescos then. :)

JustAMuggle · 31/07/2017 16:32

Aw @Pinkemi hopefully this month it'll be worth the wait for you and you'll get your BFP! Crossing everything for you.

Ovia says I'm CD43 and I don't think I've ovulated in that time (the opk's were crappy ones though so who knows). I've started doing my BBT now so I'll try and keep doing that in the hope that it can at least give me some sign I've ovulated. I've even been reading up about acupuncture to try and get AF on her way and regular again.. not sure about it though Confused

The Izzy Judd book is a MUST read for anyone ttc, I got it for £7 in Tesco and I didn't put it down. It's all about her struggles ttc and what she went through physically/ mentally/ emotionally. I can imagine that 99% of women actually ttc can relate to her!

Pinkemi · 31/07/2017 15:11

So i now have NO idea where I am in my cycle coz of my two peak readings. Angry I could either be 5dpo or 3 dpo.

Ovia has no clue what is going on. It can't give me a countdown on days left until I can test for pregnancy.

Clue seems to think my Ovulation day is today.. But i haven't been putting my Ovulation stick results into this so it is guessing that it should be now.

I had quite a dip in my BBT this morning BUT this could just be because I have only been tracking this for about 4 days.. and i haven't been able to do it at the same time every day.

My boobs are feeling tender.. keep getting sharp pains every now and then.. and they also dont feel like they fit in my bra properly but this could just be because I've put on a bit of weight recently.

I've got this pulling sensation down there.. needing to pee a lot.. and terribly constipated (sorry if TMI). ALL OF THESE could be indications of a BFP but it just seems far too early.. so is probably a coincidence. What ever it is.. this TTC is again driving me nuts.. as now coming into the 2WW... the dreaded 2WW. Sad

Congrats anban!! And Mrs g, any news on the positive?? Is it any stronger now?
This thread is on a roll, won't be long til everyone has their bfps I think!!

Pinkemi · 31/07/2017 08:59

Ooh looks like i missed quite a bit over the weekend!

Welcome to the two new-comers to the thread. :) @Xjo1992x and @ScarletSienna. Hope you get your + soon Xjo1992x.

@JustaMuggle.. Nothing wrong with being a moaner! That's what I have been doing. haha Where abouts are you in your cycle now?
Haven't read the book no.. is it Fiction?

@TheGrumpySquirrel Lets hope this FW is your week! I am just coming out of mine.. so now onto the two week wait. (I'm day 16 in my cycle. ) Hate this point the most.. the am i or aren't i stage!

@Anban AHHHH!! Another positive! yey!!! :) Congrats!!! I second @Cookie1831 with Yummy! I think melted marshmallows is a good idea. Grin

So this weekend I have eaten TERRIBLY! So bad that I feared stepping onto the scales. Back to being good this week. Woke up feeling sick this morning but I think its basically down to all the rubbish I have eaten. lol Trying really really hard not to symptom spot!

Think i have ballsed up my BBT readings tho.. as I didnt realise you had to take them at the same time every morning.. So mine are up and down all over the place. :( Not sure it will give me a true reading but never mind.. Just have to make sure I do them all at 6:30am now.

Cookie1831 · 29/07/2017 21:39

Mmmm yummy worth a try!!

Anban · 29/07/2017 20:30

It was cos it was superdrug and I heard bad things about it.

But the second test, (first response) was also pretty lined so yay.

What makes beans stick? Honey? Melted marshmallows? Grin

Cookie1831 · 29/07/2017 19:27

Hi girls!!! Oh anban how can you not get your hopes up that is a very clear positive hope it sticks xxx

JustAMuggle · 29/07/2017 08:35

@Anban Shockthat's so exciting! Looks like congratulations are in order Grin

Anban · 29/07/2017 07:40

Soo...

I am not getting my hopes up. I am going to test again with my CB digital as soon as I have enough pee.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 29/07/2017 06:49

Sorry been AWOL.. I'm just entering FW again now and will be testing mid August (I'm going on holiday on the 11th which is cd24 so that should be a good distraction!)

ScarletSienna · 28/07/2017 23:23

I didn't realise that! I assumed that for standard tests, they would say from day if missed AF! Thanks Smile

Xjo1992x · 28/07/2017 23:18

Yes. I don't want to see that dreaded bfn. So I'm waiting until a week after my missed af as that's when you're most likely to get your bfp (if at all!)

ScarletSienna · 28/07/2017 22:59

Xjo-are you waiting for a certain amount of time to pass before testing?

Xjo1992x · 28/07/2017 21:42

Oo! And I'm pretty certain I had an implantation bleed 2 weeks into my cycle!

Xjo1992x · 28/07/2017 21:39

Heyy! New to the thread!
I have a test in the bathroom drawer... It's been there for 2 weeks and I have resisted so far!
We aren't "trying" .... But we aren't "not trying" either, but I'm just so impatient to know!!
Eek!
I have sore boobs, nausea, cramps everywhere in my abdomen, and very bloated (+ my nipples are going crazy!)! (Have never had sore boobs before, even before AF)
I was due AF 4 days ago! So now I'm getting crazy nervous!
Fingers crossed!!

JustAMuggle · 28/07/2017 21:17

I'm still here.. lurking in the background as I didn't just want to be a constant moaner haha!

Still waiting for AF despite having every sign that she's on her way (hunger, cramps, back pain, tiredness - and then the two new signs nausea and stupidly sore boobs).. I keep thinking they're all pointing to one thing and keep getting BFN's. I think my last bleed was a withdrawal bleed after stopping my pill so I'm all over the place.

Has anyone read the Izzy Judd 'Dare to dream' book?

Pinkemi · 28/07/2017 20:18

@mrsgembles.. sorry I thought you had! Sorry to hear it was false.. but yet for + Now!!! Grin have a great time in Italy!

Damn I am hungry today.. eaten so much yet my stomach just growled at me.. is it a sign?? (Or just IBS.) Haha

Cookie1831 · 28/07/2017 20:12

Eeeekkkk mrs G exciting! X

Lalalax3 · 28/07/2017 20:04

I didn't have a âž•, it was false, but I got a v faint âž• yesterday. On holiday in Italy at the moment and now know how to ask for a pregnancy test in Italian!

Pinkemi · 28/07/2017 16:26

I am at day 13.. (second) peak yesterday.. so a little early i think for anything to be happening? Unless my first peak was actually my fertile period.. Although saying that it feels more like it is now! Think I am just tired..

Sam91TRS15 · 28/07/2017 16:17

Thanks girls! I am looking forward to your bfps!! pinkemi you sounds like me right now - foggy headed and weird vivid dreams... Where are you in your cycle? Maybe that's a good sign!

Pinkemi · 28/07/2017 15:46

Honestly I feel like such a ditz today... Probably doesnt help that I think I was trying to stop myself from thinking about it. Had a nightmare the other night where I woke up balling my eyes out. My DH was like.. Confused coz i woke up him with the crying.

I had dreamt that I was my womb basically rejecting my fertilised egg because the Evening Primrose had told me to (and i was scared of her.) Funnily enough EPO in my dream looked a lot like my boss! It was like my work place clashing with my need for a BFP.

(You are all going to think i'm weird now.. I'm not.. i promise! I just have a very active imagination! )

Cookie1831 · 28/07/2017 15:41

That made me LOL at the EPO!

Cookie1831 · 28/07/2017 15:40

Hi sam and congrats great news xx
