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 Sad Flowers Looks like me and you are taking turns being down in the dumps! Get what you mean about being bored with this. I went into this knowing it would take a while and still I'm alreasy fed up! Sometimes I feel like I'm just waiting for the opportunity to be disappointed again! (I am actually feeling better, I swear!)

It's got to our turns next, for sure.

Thanks @Cookie1831, maybe a bit of your luck will make a difference. Smile

Had no other blood other than that one instance, but I have got gradually achier in the womb area since. Sorry if I go into too much detail, but it''s not really cramping, more like the heavy sensation after a day or so of full-on bleeding. And a bit of pressure, as though I've bloated and my trousers are tight, but I haven't and they're not. Does that make sense?

I don't really get pre-menstrual cramps, most of the pain I get is once I'm in full flow, so it could be a sign, but then I'd never gotten sore breasts until last month either. If it's PMS then it's either early, or I've got another week of this...

chewbacca83 · 17/10/2017 09:52

Fingers crossed for you cookie. I'm full on AT now so that's 2nd month in a row. I'm thinking my cycle has shortened to 3 weeks. Which If I'm searching for a positive means I don't have to wait so long between fertile days...annoying as hell though.

Cookie1831 · 17/10/2017 08:12

Thanks girls couldn't hold out so confirmed on digital last night was 1-2 hoping to hold out to Friday before I do another as am hoping to see a 2-3 as I didn't get that far the last 2 times. Fingers crossed for you two spotters that it is something good, aw pink it is so crap hope you feel better for having a good cry Flowers

chewbacca83 · 16/10/2017 16:31

Congrats Cookie that's great news. Keep us updated. Who knows what a going on with with body haha. I'm probably just spotting because I have no other symptoms.

Pinkemi · 16/10/2017 14:13

Congrats Cookie! Happy for you.. (if very jealous.)

Yesterday I have a full on weepy fest.. sobbed for about 20mins for like no reason at all.

My bbt also dropped again this morning.. so I am basically waiting for AF to start. :(

Seriously bored of this now.

JemDoughnut · 16/10/2017 13:59

No doubt about that second pink test, that''s definitely a positive!

Congratulations. Smile Really happy for you, and happy to see another positive on the thread! And yes, don't leave us yet!

So when I wiped this morning it was very, very pale pink (like if you weren't a crazy who deliberately checked whenever they wiped then you probably wouldn't even notice). Googled it, naturally, and of course it could be implantation bleeding, or ovulation bleeding, or just plain old spotting.

I've concluded that no one really knows anything, from one source to the next the information changes. One page said that implantation bleeding was darker than menstrual blood, the next said it was lighter.

I know the first two possible causes are actually fairly uncommon, and random spotting is most likely and most common, and that's what I'm assuming it is. I just wish having a uterus was more straightforward!

Sam91TRS15 · 16/10/2017 12:32

Congrats cookie! I would say give It a few days for the digi though - mine tool over a week to show a positive on the digi!

Cookie1831 · 16/10/2017 12:17

Hopefully chew x

chewbacca83 · 16/10/2017 10:51

So I'm an idiot and did a test this morning (5 days early) because I couldnt control myself....obvs negative. But just now I've sorted bright pink spotting...could it be implantation bleeding? AF due friday/Saturday..

Hi cookie, that looks positive to me. Can you take the test apart, I had a few blue dye ones early on which looked negative but I could see more of a line when I opened them up!

Cookie1831 · 15/10/2017 07:36

Ah jem hope you and hubby fel better soon!
Well I did the second clear blue in the pack (have posted another desperate lady is it a line type thread) and another faint positive so going frer shopping this morning, am trying not to get hopes up as if is a chemical or early loss will be the third this year x

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words.

Sorry for the long absence. Needed to stop thinking about it and focus on something (anything!) that wasn't baby-making. I'm feeling a little better for it. Estimating that I'm 5DPO (based on my appallingly kept BBT chart).

Me and OH have been ill most of this cycle so not a lot of DTD. But enough for me to be getting impatient. I almost wish we hadn't so I won't be disappointed when AF undoubtedly shows in the next couple weeks!

Maybe I'm still not 100%.

@Cookie1831 I think that''s a line. I hope it is!

Cookie1831 · 14/10/2017 16:40

I am 11 dpo

Cookie1831 · 14/10/2017 16:39

Aw pink is temp still up not a good thing though? Well I know I am an idiot but I got very drunk last night on just 2 glasses of wine so did a test today, the only ones in the shop were crappy blue dye but really this can't be an evap can it?! I did a digital at the same time and it was neg

Pinkemi · 14/10/2017 09:59

So fed up of taking tests and they show a negative result. Ovia said period was due yesterday and nothing showed so did another test this morning.. BFN.

My BBT app now says AF due on Tuesday as my temp is still elevated. Going to stop testing now as it's made me very fed up!

Cookie1831 · 13/10/2017 08:41

10dpo BFN as expected well at least I can enjoy my Friday night wine! Hopefully AF arrives promptly at the start of next week so j can move on, hope all the rest of you ok xx

Cookie1831 · 11/10/2017 17:45

Yeah it must be the tests not us right? I saw 3 single magpies today FFS does it count if you add them up? 3 for a girl yes?
