Why is it soooo hard not to test!

[BlueSpottyTiger]

I can't help but give in.. Surprise surprise bfn at 8dpo today. I didnt think it would be positive but couldn't help myself.
I was 9dpo with DD though!
af is Due this sat.
I'm not even disappointed im just annoyed with myself for pi**ing away £8.
I tell everyone dont test early..blah blah and dont take my own advice..grr..Rant over.

You're right cola, but it's far too tempting for an impatient person like me lol. I just want to know one way or another...I guess only time will tell xx

[Colabottles64]

Don't do it girls,I'm a recovering poas-aholic!! The tww is still crap if you don't early test but I find it's less disappointing to know I'm not pregnant with arrival of AF as I'm now on a new cycle and can shift focus to the next attempt. Those BFNs from early tests are so crap because you keep building up hope, dashing it, refusing to believe the result and doing it all over again. I still am tempted to every cycle but I'm so much happier when I don't.

Don't want to spoil anyone's fun, just my hard earned knowledge as I continue TTC #2 for over a year x

[Littlemisssugarplum88]

Keep me updated ladies xx

@BlueSpottyTiger I'm buying a frer tomorrow ready to take Friday-Saturday (period due Friday ) xx

[BlueSpottyTiger]

Zampa Goodluck!! 🍀
sazwest I've done to cheapies today (1 just now) bfn! I really really dont think im pregnant so i dno why im wasting them all! I have 3 more frer's.. and i will not be using them until ive missed my period cant justify wasting the money on them £8 a test is a rip.. although i have just got 2 x 6day early ones that arrived today off ebay for £8.35

[Zampa]

I'm 11 days post ovulation and trying to hold out as long as possible. Having to hold myself back from buying pregnancy tests as I'll know I'll use them too early.

Convinced myself I'm pregnant though as my sex drive has massively increased!

Fingers crossed for your BFPs.

[Sazwest]

@BlueSpottyTiger have u tested again yet I can't remember lol xx

[EMHW123]

I've an ikea piece of Tupperware 😂

[BlueSpottyTiger]

What we like!? 😂🙈

[Sazwest]

@BlueSpottyTiger haha I pee into a hairspray bottle lid pmsl xx

[BlueSpottyTiger]

Yeah thats them, with the little blue thing you hold? ...i pee into a deodorant bottle lid 😂 and dip

[DebsOctBaby]

I wonder if they are the same? The ones on Amazon are the ones the doctors use if you go to them (or hospital) just a pain as you have to pee into a glass lol

[BlueSpottyTiger]

sazwest good choice!
debs i have them cheapies too, see i did one of them this morning... and it came up with the control line and 1/4 of the test line straight away.. then it went after about 10mins.. so a negative. I was like wtf!? Lol

[Sazwest]

@DebsOctBaby I've got some off eBay but I think there fault as everyone I have done no line is coming up at all even the line that is suppose to until a good 2-3 minutes maybe more xx

[DebsOctBaby]

I was exactly the same, sometimes testing twice a day!! Soooooo I purchased a pack of 15 from Amazon for just over £3, then you can test to your hearts content! They are sensitive enough to do a day or day before period as well :-)

[Sazwest]

@BlueSpottyTiger have u tested again xx

[Sazwest]

@BlueSpottyTiger nope trying to hold off till Friday when Af is due ( still a bit puzzled with my test I did on Sunday and the opk I did yesterday) some people are saying opk can detect pregnancy then some saying they can't. I did take a opk this morning and it come back with 2 lines again x xx

[BlueSpottyTiger]

sazwest have you tested today???? Xx

[BlueSpottyTiger]

Littlemiss aww im so sorry to hear that x
Yeah keep us posted EMHW
ymmv yeah i get why you didn't.. i have no self control! Oops!

This is my 1st cycle ttc after dd who is now 14months on the 30th x

[ymmv]

that website is excellent Oysterbabe

I tested a week after af was due by which point I was quite sure I was pregnant (not only due to no period! also my PMT symptoms were not my usual). I wasn't tempted to test early as then I would have been convinced it was a chemical pregnancy etc.

[EMHW123]

I'll definitely keep you posted!! 😘 xxx

[Littlemisssugarplum88]

Thanks Hun, it certainly has been a rollercoaster of emotions over the last 2 years but I know that when it does happen I will be even more grateful.
I was having regular period beforehand but I just never fell pregnant so I went to the gp and had bloods taken and I was told I have poly cystic syndrome (the imbalance of hormones causing me not to ovulate rather than cysts). Never had any symptoms really that my hormone levels were off.
Please keep me updated this cycle and I really hope we get a bfp very soon xx

[EMHW123]

@Littlemisssugarplum88 oh gosh you poor thing, what a rollercoaster you've been on. Fingers crossed even more tightly for you! 😘

This our 6 cycle.... I think i don't ovulate regularly so if my period comes this month I'm heading to my gp.

Overall when I'm sensible about it all I feel ok about the whole thing but it's been such a steep learning curve.

[Littlemisssugarplum88]

I'd been ttc for over 12 months originally then I was put on metformin because I wasn't ovulating to stabilise my hormones and I fell pregnant 6 months later but then had a mmc at 11 weeks via a scan; had no pain or bleeding so no warning at all so it was a complete shock. So this is my 3rd cycle since the mmc and this cycle I had an internal scan at cd13 to show I was ovulating so I've felt quite hopeful all of the cycle. Guess I will soon see. How about yourself xx

[EMHW123]

I'm cd23 around 11dpo. Did a frer yesterday which was also negative!

Constant twinges,spotting, mild backache and huge boobs although not sore
-are not helping to keep me sane! Ovia also saying test from Friday but might wait till at least Sunday! If I can!

I would count Sunday as first fay of missed period?! Who knows though 😂🙈

Fingers crossed this is our month-how king have you both been ttc?
