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?

@vicsteur81 I am actually just coming into my fertile window. Haven't had the peak fertility notification on my OPKS yet. HATE the 2ww tho!

Vicsteur81 · 28/06/2017 13:37

Hey @Pinkemi and @bouncemeup sounds like you are both roughly in the same boat as me, just into the dreaded ttw. I'm 2dpo, how about you guys?

Pinkemi · 28/06/2017 13:35

oh my.. @Cookie1831 a PJ party sounds like JUST THE THING right now. :D

Work is so stressful at the moment that any bit of happiness (which your fertile window is meant to give you) has gone out the window! (Also not great when you are TTC. LOL)

A day sitting at home on the xbox sounds like bliss right now.

Cookie1831 · 28/06/2017 13:19

Boobs still burning and bugger all squared on FRER today! So does our pity party have a theme or should we just come in our jammies? Chocolate, wine, gin, pizza and girlie DVDs or should we have a little cheer ourselves up girly disco?!

Anban · 27/06/2017 22:10

Yes I like the sound of a pity party.

Though you still have a line glimmer Cookie so don't come down to my level just yet. Wink

Feeling nauseated this evening but am now past deluding myself it is a symptom, pretty sure it is just stress.

jbee1979 · 27/06/2017 20:30

Not ttc but I love these threads. Cookie, I think I see something. Give it another couple of days Smile

Cookie1831 · 27/06/2017 20:15

Dicking!!!

Cookie1831 · 27/06/2017 20:15

Thank you lovely! It's the one about docking around with contrast just realised the name doesn't come up until you click! Am so blared and grumpy too! And a headache we need to have a wee self indulgent pamper pity party x

Anban · 27/06/2017 20:11

Will go have a look dearie.

Af is still rearing. Just spotting atm but ptm all over the place. So much grump.

Cookie1831 · 27/06/2017 19:47

Sorry if being a pain in the ass I started a thread with today's test any comments?! Will love you forever for an opinion don't mind if is negative xx

Cookie1831 · 27/06/2017 12:00

I am a foul grumpy piss assed mood today hopefully it means period in it's way as am fed up of feeling in limbo

Cookie1831 · 27/06/2017 11:32

Oh pink and anban am so sorry you are going through such tough times xxx

TheGrumpySquirrel · 27/06/2017 11:32

It's my first month temping but I only started on CD7 or so. So far it's only gone down every day

TheGrumpySquirrel · 27/06/2017 11:31

I'm on my third day of High on clear blue OPK (fertility monitor thing). Expect to ovulate this Friday or Saturday. Getting lots of BD in but I'm already anxious about BFP / AF in two weeks!

bouncemeup · 27/06/2017 09:47

Same thing for me @Pinkemi my OPK positive this morning (yay) but all three (yes three) of my apps predicted later. So many factors to consider, apps, ewcm,temperature, opks....i can see this turning into an unhealthy obsession for me. Lol

Pinkemi · 27/06/2017 09:39

this is my first cycle using OPK's and got my first flashing smiley face this morning.. 2 or 3 days before my apps predicted fertile period!!

@PinkJammie oh my.. a year! I am sorry to hear that. Hope you get your BFP soon!

@AnBan please don't cry.. :(

PinkJammie · 26/06/2017 22:51

Hi I'm new here but been reading for a while!
Preaching to th choir here but cor It's hard work this TTC. Been trying for over a year now. I'm 31 and we are trying for #1.

So far I use ovia and I've had accupuncture, and tests have shown I am ovulating. Currently waiting for partners sperm tests to come back. Horrible not knowing what is stopping things and the possibility that it might end up being unexplained also stressing me out.

Posted just now as my DP has bipolar too @anban It's so hard. We've put the baby stuff on hold a few time with the ups and downs. He's fought v hard to be stable and is doing really well now. You have to keep pushing the docs if the meds aren't working - it can be a real battle. I hope he can stabilise soon x

Anban · 26/06/2017 22:35

Just took another test with a bfn just so I can drink some of the massive vodka bottle I just brought worry free.

With ov tests, well I have only gone through one cycle, but I took three or four until I got a positive one starting at about day five so that I didnt miss it. So I am really just as bad peeing on any sort of stick.

Also, ack gonna start weeping just typing it, DH has had a bit of an emotional breakdown tonight. He has bipolar and even though he is on meds they don't seem to be helping much and I have told him no baby until he is stable. sigh.

emilyvb · 26/06/2017 22:06

@Pinkemi on a hospital ward where 95% of the staff are women and trained to notice physical symptoms the risk was too high! One extra bathroom break and I'm busted!

No chance it's implantation Anban? Sorry if not, onwards and upwards.

I 'treated myself' today, not to shoes or chocolate or a new outfit... but to 2 expensive Clearblue tests, I picked up the Boots cheapies then thought no, you're worth £11.99 hahaha. Lots of cramps today so don't think I'm onto a winner 11dpo. We'll see!

Cookie1831 · 26/06/2017 18:22

I don't even think I can either! No I don't think it matters you shouldn't have missed the surge unless you ovulate very early x

Pinkemi · 26/06/2017 16:51

@Cookie1831 I'm afraid i don't see anything there.. sorry.

I am meant to be starting Ovulation sticks (was due to start yesterday but forgot and again this morning.) Do you think its okay to start 2 days late testing? I've never used them before so I dunno!

Cookie1831 · 26/06/2017 16:46

Sorry anban I almost wish I would get my period would stop me spending a bloody fortune on tests!!

Anban · 26/06/2017 15:02

Bit irrelevant now i think, pink tinge has turned into some brown sludge. What witht he negative test this morning I think I am out for the month.

Do any of you ladies have the same problem with ov tests?

Cookie1831 · 26/06/2017 14:49

There is nothing there am pretty sure but am having a lovely time deluding myself Wink

hahaha @Emilyvb That would have got the office gossips going though! Provide some entertainment for the day.. guessing which one of the ladies in the office is thinking that they are pregnant. :)

Honestly i think woman are terrible in offices.... we have a couple of ladies here who just talk about everyone! I try and keep my head down and stay out of it. Hate to think what they say about me behind my back.
