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?

Don't do it squirrel! You know it will be a waste.. and I should know coz I did it earlier! Lol be a better person than me. :-)

@whyhastherumgone no.. I'm going to wait a couple of days.. I only have one more test so don't wanna waste it!

Cookie.. why you wanna know? Lol it's a mixture of things. I made it up. Ha!

AF due Sunday or Monday

TheGrumpySquirrel · 11/07/2017 20:59

I think I need to hold out till morning at least .. I know I ovulated late so no chance of seeing anything before Friday really

It just feels like it has gone on forever

TheGrumpySquirrel · 11/07/2017 20:55

Guys I've had 2 beers and honestly if my wee is not too diluted - which it will be - I'm v tempted to test when I get home in 5 mins - or at least in the morning! Sore boobs and spiky womb all day and backache

Cookie1831 · 11/07/2017 20:50

Where is the name pinkemi from?

whyhastherumgone · 11/07/2017 19:00

oh we cross posted! :( @Pinkemi I don't think you should rule yourself out, it's still so so early you wouldn't necessarily get a reading even with a FRER. Try again tomorrow with FMU as testing in the afternoon is going to affect it too

whyhastherumgone · 11/07/2017 18:59

@Pinkemi we are one and the same - AF is due on Sunday too. If I remain pretty meh about testing, I will probably POAS Friday as it's going to be an alcohol heavy weekend, so should probably be on the safe side although part of me wants to just go away and enjoy it without knowing yet which sounds terrible!

Ha thanks yes it is - I do love the first film!

Pinkemi · 11/07/2017 18:58

So.. after all of me going "I don't wanna test" bla bla bla.. I just tested.. and not surprisingly.. another BFN. :-( why do i do it to myself??

Pinkemi · 11/07/2017 16:38

@whyhastherumgone AF is due on SUNDAY! :) So.. technically... a FRER test would get a reading.. Wink (now i am encouraging myself to take a test! haha)

you sound so much like me at the moment.. its quite funny! :)

btw i love your username..Im guessing its from Pirates of the Caribbean?

whyhastherumgone · 11/07/2017 12:20

Hahaha @Pinkemi, it still could be! Sorry didn't mean to be a downer. When is your AF due again? Been talking to a few different posters across a few That's the -frustration- wonder of pregnancy symptoms!

I don't know what's made me just lose the urge to test - I just woke up and it didn't occur to me and then when I realised I'd already been to the loo I just sort of thought meh. I'm sure, closer to AF due date, the obsession will return Grin

Pinkemi · 11/07/2017 11:19

@whyhastherumgone hmm good point. I hadn't thought about the heat effecting it. Would make sense.. I think i was hoping it was a pregnancy symptom! hahaha

whyhastherumgone · 11/07/2017 10:37

I have the same thing, keep waking up with the worst blocked up nose and head cold feeling. I think it's this heat, it makes the house so stuffy!

Pinkemi · 11/07/2017 10:34

@whyhastherumgone I have been the same for the past few days. Convinced that this isn't my month so why bother. Except I woke up this morning and for a moment thought.. "maybe I should?" I didn't because my pee finished before I could get the stick out. Grin

I can't seem to shift this damn cold! Keep waking up in the morning with the worst sore throat in the world. It slowly gets better throughout the day but then come morning Im back to square one. Don't want to risk taking anything "just in case" but it is beginning to drive me nuts.

whyhastherumgone · 11/07/2017 10:21

I have suddenly lost the urge to test! I think that Ive decided in my head that I'm definitely not preg which has made it suddenly much easier to resist.

Cookie1831 · 10/07/2017 21:12

I wanna test I wanna test

Anban · 10/07/2017 20:28

Congrats mrsG! wishing you much stickiness!

Really this is a terrible thread for people who want to pee on less sticks. We just encourage each ither to buy cheap sticks and it's like 'welllll if everyobe else is peeing...'

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 19:58

Missed your earlier post @mrsgembles - obviously can't stay away haha! Congrats! Amazing news :D

TheGrumpySquirrel · 10/07/2017 19:11

Congrats @mrsgembles !! How many dpo if I may ask?

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 17:18

Thanks @mrsgembles! I might stay away from the thread for a bit after this, so I don't get caught up in a testing frenzy Grin will come back to see how you've all got on and report back at the weekend!

Lalalax3 · 10/07/2017 16:46

That was me a few days ago, stay positive!

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 16:35

okay so I thought I was pretty chilled but just POAS. 7 dpo. WHYYY
Even as I was doing it I was thinking this is such a waste.
I just found myself a bit bored and was reading this thread and the devil on my shoulder as all 'why not?'
eurghhhhh. BFN of course. OF COURSE.

Cookie1831 · 10/07/2017 16:07

Ah brilliant news congrats am so pleased for you hope it is the stickiest stickerton from stickyland!!
Oh pinkemi I know it was hell cost me a fortune but I am so stubborn I wanted to see a static one just to show that annoying little flashy git that I could ovulate but it didn't happen (yes I am crazy I know)
I feel I deserve a medal though I didn't test today go me Wink

Pinkemi · 10/07/2017 15:45

Lalalax3 · 10/07/2017 15:25
