Absolutely bonkers POAS behaviour... but am I?

[cystersledge]

I would really appreciate some advice here. I am cringing at how loopy this will sound and must apologise in advance!

I've been TTC for year. I have PCOS and am taking metformin for it at the moment but my cycles are all over the place (55+ days).

I cracked and did a test this morning. I'd promised DH that I wouldn't test this month as it upsets me... so I kind of smuggled it out of the bathroom and had a quick look before shoving it into the kitchen bin. It was negative. But I had a nagging feeling all day, so when I got home I tool it out and had another look... positive!

Do you think I'm preggers... or has it just malfunctioned after 12 hours in a bin? Maybe it is the bin that is expecting a happy event? I won't be able to get another test until tomorrow morning.

I bought the cheap and cheerful tests but also spent far too much on them altogether . I'm fairly certain they're designed to be a bit crap and ambiguous so you buy more of them.

Maybe give it a few days?

I took a (massive) detour on the way to the gym this morning and picked myself up a pair of nice shiny First Responses. I did one after the gym and, sadly, it was a BFN. Boo hiss.

I wasn't at all surprised as I woke up feeling like my period might be just around the corner. On a brighter note, if AF does put in an appearance in the next few days that would mean I'd had a record-breakingly-for-me almost nearly normal cycle!

I better go and see if the bin would like a nice cup of peppermint tea...

Had you avoided peeing beforehand? If not, it might be worth trying again with FMU.

I think you should also have a serious talk with your bin about immoral behaviour. Who is the father? And how do they intend to provide for the bin baby?

Northey I hadn't avoided peeing beforehand today as I just couldn't hang on. I used FMU with the one yesterday that led to the bin diving incident.

I'll try to wait a few days and then try again in the morning if AF hasn't shown up. Somehow, I don't think that second FR is going to stay in the draw for long.

I will certainly be having words with my bin. Who could be the father? We have had the builders in recently...

I suppose we could keep the recycling in the bin baby.

I'm sorry cyster, it's rubbish when the tests keep getting the wrong answer and periods are spectacularly rubbish, at least this one is a good sign in a way.

I hope you've been throwing lots of empty folic acid packets in the bin (assuming bin nutrition works on rubbish)!

Poor bin. So young. It didn't understand...
