Jesus Christ someone tape my hands together - Prego Tests

[BunsOfAnarchy]

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?

@TheGrumpySquirrel on the due date? wow.. thats almost romance film worthy. :)

Sometimes I feel very much like giving up.. but I soldier on.

I posted on here mid June last year- a month after my MMC. Took me 7 more cycles but I finally got my BFP in December, on the due date of the baby I lost. I'm now 35 weeks pregnant with a little boy! I can't wait to meet him. Don't lose hope x

[jamoncrumpets]

@pinkemi thank you xxx

[Pinkemi]

@Anon7501 Sorry to hear about the MC. :(

[Anon7501]

Hey all,

Just having a read through as i cant sleep. 2 months tomorrow i had a mc and have been desperatly trying ever since! Torturing myself every single day with the hope that i could be pregnant again. I have pcos and have never taken a period so my only way to know is to test (which iv got obsessive over) in my head i dont want to but i cant seem to help myself!!

There is literaly no worse feeling than realising your test is negative! (Esp when every where you look there is baby bumps, babies or pregnancy anouncements)

Its getting to the point now that its all i think about and im worried that the stress of it is going to make it harder for me to get pregnant again. Really cant win 💁🏼

Hope you girls get your BFP soon xx

[Pinkemi]

Still waiting for my BFP. Lol have been googling the Ava bracelet.. just the price that is putting me off. But not peeing on opks each month would be lovely!

[BunsOfAnarchy]

Hey ladies, started this thread a year ago, how is everyone getting on now?

[Pinkemi]

was doing so well this week but just caved and had a flapjack which apparently has 500 calories in it. AF is due tomorrow and I am pretty sure its coming. :(

Back to feeling stressed out and depressed about this all.. so am comfort eating. (Which in reality is the most stupidest thing I can do. urgh!) I was told in January that we should try for no longer then 6 months naturally and that i HAVE to lose weight. What have i done? got bigger. (sigh) June will be our last cycle before I guess we have to think about other things. :( (although have to lose the weight for other things. fed up.)

[Cookie1831]

Ah it’s so hard trying to lose weight when you are feeling fed up who are these women who magically lose weight when stressed I always went the opposite way!
I am good am 32 weeks now and had an uncomplicated pregnancy so far thankfully this time last year I had a chemical and an early miscarriage both in May so a lot can change in a year I still think of you lovely girls and hope to read some good news soon xxxx

[Pinkemi]

@Cookie1831 hiiiiiiii! I am ok.. fed up to be honest with this whole TTC lark. It's basically a year now. Meh. How are things with you these days?

Weight loss is rubbish. I'm the biggest I've ever been again. :-(

[Cookie1831]

Aw pink I still check it every now and then hoping for some updates, how you doing?xx

[Pinkemi]

Reviving this thread.. as it makes me sad that no one is posting on it anymore.. Yes.. Im still here. lol

[Pinkemi]

@SqidgeBum welcome to the thread!

In my view.. if getting BFN's keeps making you cry.. stop doing it. It's not worth the mental and emotional pain. To be honest.. I probably only think this because we have been trying now for 11months with not even a peep of a BFP... the only peeing on a stick I do these days is OPKS.. and even those are beginning to annoy me. At the moment I seem to jump straight from low fertility to peak.. no high in there at all. Like what gives?!

[Cookie1831]

squidge these gorgeous girls will look after you fingers crossed it is a late implantation and you get your bfp

[Cookie1831]

justamuggle congrats lovely!!

[SqidgeBum]

Hi all, hope you dont mind me joining in. I saw this pop up and thought 'oh its me, POAS addict!'.

I am on cycle 7, my AF is sort of due tomorrow (CD 32, I have had a few irregular cycles), but I have been peeing on sticks since day 23. Addicted. I was completely convinced this month was it. My boobs were sore by day 24, I felt a little sicky, I had mild cramps that felt different from AF. It came to day 27, and when I wiped there was blood. I thought 'thats that', I cried my eyes out, but then it just stopped. I have had slight brown spotting when I wipe for the past 4 days but its gone. No AF cramps. No PMS symptoms. Nothing.

So naturally I am back to peeing on every stick in my house. My DH is driven demented because I cry nearly every time I get a BFN. Even a CB test says not pregnant. I dont know. I keep saying I cant do much more of this because I cant stop symptom spotting and I am devastated every time AF comes. Every woman around me seems pregnant and they just looked at their DH sideways to get pregnant.

I dont know whether the sticks help as they give me hope, or hinder as they make me cry.

[Pinkemi]

@justamuggle.. oh my god congrats!! So lucky to get your positive so quickly.

So I bit the bullet and called the doctor to ask for some help seeing as we are now on our 11month of trying. She gave me the normal lecture of weight and basically told me that I have to drop at 2stone or more before they could help with things like ivf etc. They did however do a blood test on day 5 and I will be having another on day 21. I think they agreed to do the bloods because I felt like the private clinic was forcing me to do ivf when it might not be needed. So will wait for these results and then will need to drop the weight. (Sigh)

Acupuncture is weird.. I feel better for it.. but it's not relaxing like reflexology is. I kinda just chat with the lady whilst she picks needles into me and takes my pulse. She's promised not to tell me if she feels a change in my pulse this time so hoping it will be good for me this month.

You know it annoys me how much money im spending each month just to get pregnant. :-/

Accupuncture: £50
Opks: £30
Vitamins: £40ish
Reflexology: £140ish

Urgh..

[JustAMuggle]

Hi all sorry I’m so in and out of here!
@pinkemi I’m really, really hoping you get your BFP soon, sounds like the health kick is a positive one (and we all slip up don’t worry). I’ve given up with slimming world lately, chocolate and me became best friends... the scales hate me now! Are you feeling any different after acupuncture? Also surely the doctors should help now based on your private appointment?

I feel like this is a bit crappy of me telling you all now that I got a BFP today! Once again I just “knew” I was pregnant as I felt so different but held off testing until today. Let’s hope this goes okay as I can’t deal with another miscarriage

[Pinkemi]

@lizzysmi sorry to hear you have your AF too. Bloody hate being a woman at times. Lol

I'm off to the doctors on Monday and going to ask for help. I think 11 months of trying is close enough to a year So they can't turn me away. Lol

[Lizzysmi]

Sorry to hear you're disappointed as well. AF has been with me three days and she's brought her usual challenges! I'm going to try to be really cheery and upbeat this next month, that's my aim anyway! Be as happy and hospitable a uterus as possible :-) blooming womanhood- men have it so easy ;-) keeping my fingers crossed for you @pinkemi x

[Pinkemi]

Well that's me out... now onto month 11 of trying. :-(
