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?

@Pinkemi mine is a £16 one from Amazon with a memory function. But you can get them a lot cheaper.

So tempted to test today argh I need to sit on my hands. 5dpo...

Hey all I am back.
Been that dull dull wait post AF but not yet fertile. App says 6 days till ov, will probably start testing tomorrow cos I just need my poas fix.

Dtd yesterday but I think 7 days might be a bit of a too long a wait for the little fellas. Grin

Oh also I went to the dr on Thursday and got anti biotics for the uti I wasnt sure I had but perfectly explains all the 'pregnancy symptoms' I had cycle.
She also reassured me that I could keep taking my SSRI with minimal risk which was great to hear.

Pinkemi · 10/07/2017 11:32

@ThegrumpySquirrel forgot to ask.. where did you get your thermometer for temping from? if we aren't successful this round then I might start that too..

Pinkemi · 10/07/2017 11:31

@cookie1831... 27 DAYS!! how on earth did you keep testing for that long?? I would have gone bat shite crazy by then. I'm glad I gave up at day 12.. to be honest I couldnt afford to do anymore and was getting fed up with that blasted flashing face!!

So I seem to have convinced myself that I am out this month. Getting all the same symptoms as I did last month for round about this time.. DH and I DTD last night JUST BECAUSE! And it felt so much nicer... more relaxed instead of just doing it because "i might be ovulating!"

whilst I am pretty bummed that its another wasted month.. I guess there is still that glimmer of hope until AF turns up. I guess im just trying to stop stressing over it. :)

I am now half way through my 2 week wait. (AF is due on Monday.) and so far.. I haven't had too many urges to test. (yet!) Lets hope it can continue!

Cookie1831 · 08/07/2017 11:42

Sorry pinkemi I got to day 27 flashing in my first cycle (to be fair was 45 days long) feeling your pain x

TheGrumpySquirrel · 08/07/2017 10:48

Sorry @Pinkemi that happened to me last cycle. Either didn't ov or it got missed. First cycle of temping this cycle though which is interesting. 3dpo now and feels like this will be the longest week of my life

Pinkemi · 08/07/2017 10:28

Day 12 of high fertility!!! Going to give up now as this is beyond ridiculous. Feel myself drying up a little so i must have missed the surge . :-( also don't feel like this is my month either.

Cookie1831 · 07/07/2017 19:48

Am going to order some tests from Amazon I think this is costing me way too much money

Cookie1831 · 07/07/2017 19:47

Hi lovelies!!! I have been away for a few days holiday and obviously peeing on sticks while there still nothing happening here now on cycle day 41 and so fed up of negative tests it's really starting to piss me off can somebody somewhere just give me a god damn period!! Am hot grumpy and ready to scream/cry/headbutt a stranger!!!
But on a happier note biscuity CM sounds hilarious I am going to be sniffing my knickers for hobnobs!!
Any update snow??

TheGrumpySquirrel · 07/07/2017 18:43

Well I'm 2dpo and already wasted two ICs so not a good start

Lalalax3 · 06/07/2017 20:29

Still at the seaside and v proud of myself for not weeing on any sticks. Home tomorrow though. 😬

Pinkemi · 06/07/2017 11:23

haha mile high club! My DH hinted at this when we were on our way to our honeymoon. I just couldn't face it.. those aeroplane loos are filthy! Grin

BunsOfAnarchy · 06/07/2017 10:59

Hey @Pinkemi all fingers and toes crossed for you.

I'm doing good. Fly out tonight, came to London on the the train last night, so no sexy time as I'm staying and my brothers and according to ovia I'm ovulating today... (where in the airport can I sex him up tho?!)

Tried cheap ovulation strips, realised I can't be arsed with them. As long as I'm dtd every other day after end of AF, somethings gotta happen.

Maybe I will join the mile high club this time...

@TheGrumpySquirrel.. so there is still hope for me then! haha I got my 10th High today.. so hopefully tomorrow is the day.

How is everyone else getting on? my cold like symptoms have now progressed into a severe sore throat (I can hardly swallow anything) and a bad headache.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 05/07/2017 13:39

I got a Peak this morning - after 10 days of High.. don't give up

Pinkemi · 05/07/2017 09:39

sigh now on day 9... 9!! of high fertility. If i was this damn fertile you would think I would have gotten pregnant by now!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/07/2017 18:25

I take it back. I just got a positive OPK! Maybe this means I'll finally get a CBFM Peak in the morning

Lalalax3 · 04/07/2017 17:34

I'm off to the seaside until Sat, with NO pee sticks!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/07/2017 17:34

@Pinkemi I'm already symptom spotting, backache and womb twinges and feeling carsick all the time! Not sure how I'm going to cope this TWW. Basically I'm going to assume I'm pregnant until otherwise proven - maybe more disappointing when af arrives but helps me feel saner right now for some reason

Pinkemi · 04/07/2017 14:23

They are so expensive aren't they @TheGrumpySquirrel! £30 for a set of 10.. and then with all the pregnancy tests too.. i honestly think ive spent about £50 / £60 this month alone! maybe more actually!

i am also on Cd18. :) Ive had so many high fertility days that Ovia now can't give me a number for when i should do a pregnancy test. It honestly says "? days until pregnancy test." Grin I've broken it.

I am getting terrible cramps in my hips.. but im not sure if thats just coz im ill. Here we go with the symptom spotting again! haha

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/07/2017 12:22

@Pinkemi I am having the same issue with the CBFM. I think it missed my LH surge last month too. I have used so many of those expensive test sticks aaargh! I'm on cd18, still no Peak but I'm sure I ovulated already. Really annoying.

Pinkemi · 04/07/2017 09:39

So.. I still havent had my static smiley face yet on the ovulation sticks.. now on day 8 of "high fertility." Which is confusing as I feel like im drying up again.. which would indicate I was coming out of my fertile period. (Or.. because I am riddled with cold.. maybe thats why im drying up!) Trying not to take anything for it as I hear this can dry up the CM too.

BunsOfAnarchy · 03/07/2017 08:28

@Californiadreaming15 I know how you mean. Hubby wants to go UAE for a short break in Feb but I don't know how big I'll be...so I'm twisting his arm for us to go in Oct instead lol

The Savers ones are just as sensitive as any other Internet cheapies.

Californiadreaming15 · 02/07/2017 21:28

It sounds bad and it will happen when it happens but we're planning on a big family holiday in July next year so if we conceive this time or next time round we will have one (or two) extras coming with us. We might need to stop trying for a bit as I won't be able to go if im ready to burst.
