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?

Hi @mrsgembles ! What is biscuity CM when it's at home?? Think this might be my cycle too.. still 10 days before I can test

Lalalax3 · 02/07/2017 20:35

Just CM that smells a bit like biscuits! Grin I'm only 5 dpo. And I know I might not be. But I also might be!

@Californiadreaming15 I got a pack of 30 cheapie's from amazon for 4.49. I wasnt meant to receive them for another week but they arrived in a day. My plan is pee my hearts content on them lol then if I get a confusing line then do a frer.

I just laughed out loud at 'pee to my hearts content'. Grin

Biscuity CM got me too. I thought you meant colour maybe...but smell! Must have something baking in that oven!

Didn't even make it past FMU Saturday morning...BFN again. But no early AF like I'd suspected either.

Californiadreaming15 · 02/07/2017 21:16

I popped in to Savers this morning. I hope they're sensitive ish well I'll convince myself so that I don't go and buy FRER. I feel like something is happening just praying it's not AF

Californiadreaming15 · 02/07/2017 21:28

It sounds bad and it will happen when it happens but we're planning on a big family holiday in July next year so if we conceive this time or next time round we will have one (or two) extras coming with us. We might need to stop trying for a bit as I won't be able to go if im ready to burst.

Lalalax3 · 02/07/2017 21:44

The Savers ones are just as sensitive as any other Internet cheapies.

@Californiadreaming15 I know how you mean. Hubby wants to go UAE for a short break in Feb but I don't know how big I'll be...so I'm twisting his arm for us to go in Oct instead lol

So.. I still havent had my static smiley face yet on the ovulation sticks.. now on day 8 of "high fertility." Which is confusing as I feel like im drying up again.. which would indicate I was coming out of my fertile period. (Or.. because I am riddled with cold.. maybe thats why im drying up!) Trying not to take anything for it as I hear this can dry up the CM too.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/07/2017 12:22

@Pinkemi I am having the same issue with the CBFM. I think it missed my LH surge last month too. I have used so many of those expensive test sticks aaargh! I'm on cd18, still no Peak but I'm sure I ovulated already. Really annoying.

Pinkemi · 04/07/2017 14:23

They are so expensive aren't they @TheGrumpySquirrel! £30 for a set of 10.. and then with all the pregnancy tests too.. i honestly think ive spent about £50 / £60 this month alone! maybe more actually!

i am also on Cd18. :) Ive had so many high fertility days that Ovia now can't give me a number for when i should do a pregnancy test. It honestly says "? days until pregnancy test." Grin I've broken it.

I am getting terrible cramps in my hips.. but im not sure if thats just coz im ill. Here we go with the symptom spotting again! haha

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/07/2017 17:34

@Pinkemi I'm already symptom spotting, backache and womb twinges and feeling carsick all the time! Not sure how I'm going to cope this TWW. Basically I'm going to assume I'm pregnant until otherwise proven - maybe more disappointing when af arrives but helps me feel saner right now for some reason

Lalalax3 · 04/07/2017 17:34

I'm off to the seaside until Sat, with NO pee sticks!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/07/2017 18:25

I take it back. I just got a positive OPK! Maybe this means I'll finally get a CBFM Peak in the morning

Pinkemi · 05/07/2017 09:39

sigh now on day 9... 9!! of high fertility. If i was this damn fertile you would think I would have gotten pregnant by now!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 05/07/2017 13:39

I got a Peak this morning - after 10 days of High.. don't give up

Pinkemi · 06/07/2017 09:41

@TheGrumpySquirrel.. so there is still hope for me then! haha I got my 10th High today.. so hopefully tomorrow is the day.

How is everyone else getting on? my cold like symptoms have now progressed into a severe sore throat (I can hardly swallow anything) and a bad headache.

Hey @Pinkemi all fingers and toes crossed for you.

I'm doing good. Fly out tonight, came to London on the the train last night, so no sexy time as I'm staying and my brothers and according to ovia I'm ovulating today... (where in the airport can I sex him up tho?!)

Tried cheap ovulation strips, realised I can't be arsed with them. As long as I'm dtd every other day after end of AF, somethings gotta happen.

Maybe I will join the mile high club this time...

Pinkemi · 06/07/2017 11:23

haha mile high club! My DH hinted at this when we were on our way to our honeymoon. I just couldn't face it.. those aeroplane loos are filthy! Grin

Lalalax3 · 06/07/2017 20:29

Still at the seaside and v proud of myself for not weeing on any sticks. Home tomorrow though. 😬

TheGrumpySquirrel · 07/07/2017 18:43

Well I'm 2dpo and already wasted two ICs so not a good start

Cookie1831 · 07/07/2017 19:47

Hi lovelies!!! I have been away for a few days holiday and obviously peeing on sticks while there still nothing happening here now on cycle day 41 and so fed up of negative tests it's really starting to piss me off can somebody somewhere just give me a god damn period!! Am hot grumpy and ready to scream/cry/headbutt a stranger!!!
But on a happier note biscuity CM sounds hilarious I am going to be sniffing my knickers for hobnobs!!
Any update snow??

Cookie1831 · 07/07/2017 19:48

Am going to order some tests from Amazon I think this is costing me way too much money

Pinkemi · 08/07/2017 10:28

Day 12 of high fertility!!! Going to give up now as this is beyond ridiculous. Feel myself drying up a little so i must have missed the surge . :-( also don't feel like this is my month either.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 08/07/2017 10:48

Sorry @Pinkemi that happened to me last cycle. Either didn't ov or it got missed. First cycle of temping this cycle though which is interesting. 3dpo now and feels like this will be the longest week of my life
