Preggo test poas amnesty for this cycle

Ok the last two months have just sucked ass. I’ve peed on so many sticks I’ve lost count and god knows how much time I’ve wasted squinting at lines, adding filters and generally being obsessed with these sticks.

My goal for this cycle is to only pee on an opk (I ov quite late in my cycle so need all the help I can get!). I’m going to try absolutely no peeing on a Preggo test until AF is due. Anyone want to join me?

I’ve realised that the build up of hope from the moment you dip that stick, to waiting, to analysing it is actually just stressing me out.

unicorn how many dpo are you?

skyla I completely agree. I’d hate to think how much time is spent looking at preggo tests last cycle when I should have just waited to see if af showed.

Poptypingchef that's the thing- a negative test before AF doesn't mean you aren't pregnant anyway, so you end up needing to keep testing! AF is (unfortunately) a much more robust sign than a negative test at 14dpo. Fingers crossed for everyone this cycle!

Argh this is hard! I'm so ill I just want to know if it's a bfp or I'm actually ill.

I’m just going with the fact that I’m post ov and absolutely no peeing on a Preggo stick untill af is due which is around 28th. Stay strong ladies.

Hi @Skyla01

I’m with you - stuck it out last month and will do this month. If I test early I end up testing again and again so I might as well wait and seeConfused

Skyla01 · 17/05/2019 18:18

Can I join?
Only cd2. Not planning on using OPKs. Determined not to pregnancy test at least until AF is due.
I think a lot of early testing adds more stress to the TWW.

@Chefwifelife that's strange. I wonder if you didn't ovulate yet then

A weirdly strong ish opk. Not sure what’s going on and whether I’m 2dpo or not ov yet 👌🏼

Can I join pls?
I'm CD 6 on cycle 4 and got my first flashy smiley today. TTC#1
I really don't want to symptom spot or test hence joining this group. Tbf I'm alright as the testing part it's just the TWW, I start strong then I start to crumble.
Belly feels super heavy today 😔

butterflykiss00 · 14/05/2019 19:37

Try to stay lying down after and put some cushions under your bum to help them 😃

butterflykiss00 · 14/05/2019 19:36

Enjoy 😉 x

Butterfly where are you at now? I’m on cd16 and opks look they will be positive the next day or so. How’s everyone else doing?

OP posts:
butterflykiss00 · 11/05/2019 11:30

@Chefwifelife 😂 I have a serious problem ha!
Still the same, just can't work out if it's the cheap tests being shit or early hcg, although it seems ridiculous to be testing at cd17 , spotting stopped so just waiting to see what happens now

I think my cycles just messed up still tbh and that the tests are poo

Morning. Where is everyone at? I’m cd13 with no other signs of ov. Away for the weekend at family’s so no chance of dtd. Not even got an opk to wee on. How is everyone else’s resolve other than butterfly who is a peeing on a Preggo stick machine lol. Any stronger butterfly?

butterflykiss00 · 09/05/2019 19:53

Pregnancy tests, I'm not sure on ovulation just assumed it would be the same as before I got pregnant

GreatestShowUnicorn · 09/05/2019 19:52

@butterflykiss00 are they pregnant or ovulation tests?

butterflykiss00 · 09/05/2019 18:38

Done a few tests to check, I think they're a shit batch tbh all have extremely faint lines on 😒 not enough to make me think they're positive !

@Ladybug84 I'm cycle day 15

butterflykiss00 · 09/05/2019 17:11

@15 Confused but unsure of ovulation date just assuming I'm having a 28 day cycle, my last period was my first after having ds in December

Ladybug84 · 09/05/2019 16:37

@Chefwifelife good sign then! I didn't noticed any changes to my CM this cycle 🤷🏻‍♀️

@butterflykiss00 idk what to say because it's too early for AF, and perhaps also implantation. How many DPO are you now?
