Tips on how to not test before missed period

I tested early on my two pregnancies before and had two successful pregnancies then I had an early miscarriage and a chemical miscarriage last year and I was trying my hardest not to test early because of the heartbreak I experienced from the last two times. I’ve been trying this month and hoping I get a positive next month but I don’t know how I am going to stop myself from testing early, I worry so much after having the miscarriages anyone else finding it hard not to test so early x

Nope no joy. Did one more test yesterday morning just to be sure as I had a day of drinking lined up Grin not a whiff of a line.

AF definitely on the way today, can feel my pains starting. And I also have a hangover Confused. Roll on the next go!

No, therapy is great it can also help you both understand her more, No doubt that you both are great parents 😊Ah yes the pregnant thing and the struggle of waiting 😭

Oh for sure she doesn't amongst many other issues she displays.
Have been thinking about therapy for her, but hubby is a bit of an old school thinker so need to work on teaching him it's not a bad thing first. Then I'll have to get over the language barrier where we live 😅
First thing first though, trying to get preggo 😂

well my little was speech delayed and also had no focus,like she had so much energy it was crazy 😅She likes to squeeze things like toys and stuff sometimes but would never squeeze a person. She weeks sensations so that’s why she loves so much and has so much energy. Have you looked into occupational therapy? Maybe your little girl just doesn’t know how to process her emotions? Xx

Just cracking on dusting the whole house and cleaning all the nooks with a toothbrush. As you do 😅

I can't decide if I think she is more adhd with aspects of autism or if she is just somewhere on the spectrum. I've had a feeling since she was about 2 and a bit also.
But I don't know what it is lately, she's just turned vile to everybody in the house.
This morning she had a whole thing because she wanted to be alone. In the livingroom. Where we live. 6yo, and me are totally over it, hubby always takes her side or then turns it on me which is so super helpful! 🙄

What makes you think your 3yo is too?

Ah I tested 8 dpo and knew it was gonna be negative basically wasting my own time and money 🙃If I’m not pregnant this month I am gonna skip next month because they way I ovulate I would end up giving birth around Christmas and I do not want that 😅Not being nosey but what do you mean by your daughter is particular? My 3 year old daughter is more than likely on the spectrum but not officially diagnosed. I’m good, think the good weather lifts the mood🙂how about you ? X

I had to do it okay?! The pee stick made me!
The fattest of all negatives which I was expecting. It will now tide me over for a few days, I knew it was too early (8dpo)
But also now mentally preparing for the possibility that it may be it for the next month too ( dd1 is a December baby and I can't imagine the disaster that might occur if I gave birth on or near her birthday - she's very particular but not diagnosed)
How are you today?

Oh some of the best kind of dogs! 14 is old too! I'm sure you gave her the absolute best life.

I had to lift my German shep out of the car at 7 months preggo. It was a bloody sight to see as she wasn't on the small side as sheps go!

Hope this one sticks too🤞My dog was a German Shepard she was amazing and losing her was very hard but I knew she needed to be put down her legs were unfortunately failing her 😔x

LaTable · 27/02/2025 22:08

Hope is good, its got to happen eventually, fingers crossed this is the sticky grow-y one!
I'm so sorry about your dog, I know how tough that is. What breed where they?

@LaTable That’s a good question. I was back and forth because I didn’t want to get me hopes up but I will admit seeing some kind of line has given me some hope so fingers and toes crossed that this one sticks this time 🥹🤞I just had put my dog down of 14 years a few days ago so I really could do with a win x

LaTable · 27/02/2025 21:14

@Laria19 how are you feeling in your head about seeing the second line after your loses? We're here to share the burden!

The thought did actually run through my mind BlushGrin

No judgement here! I reckon if we all saved our money on pee sticks we know will come out negative we could probably afford a fancy science freezer....

If only we could stick some of their juice in the freezer for when they are away and busy! @Orangelover

@LucyLou0527 you can make it through! When do you normally cave?
