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?

Ahhh ! Congrats!!! 😊😊 so.. if you were due on Sunday like me.. I could perhaps get my positive today.. (now I wanna test again. Hahah) did you use a FR one?

Sorry your still waiting cookie. :-(

I'm still symptom spotting. Can't work out of my cervix is higher then normal and my CM is similar to what I had last month in amount but it seems.. thicker? Not to mention I've been having weird cramps today.. but that's probably because I helped someone move house yesterday. Ha!

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 12:42

Ah brilliant news congrats!!! May the flurry of BFPs commence!! Was it a lovely clear one? That is lovely news and I will drink your share of the rum

whyhastherumgone · 14/07/2017 12:43

I did a FRER yes - and a standard superdrug just out of curiosity to compare the two. Got the faintest of squinted on the standard but quite a strong line on the FRER

ahh thank you cookie I was surprised by how strong the line was this early. Still not quite trusting it haha although i'm cautiously pleased. Had a MMC last time so am definitely going to just take each day as it comes!

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 14:09

That is a great line!!

Pinkemi · 14/07/2017 14:26

Im so happy for you! :) (Altho.. must admit I am a little jealous too! haha)

One day.. one day!!

whyhastherumgone · 14/07/2017 14:36

@Pinkemi i would be exactly the same! I almost didn't post in this thread and another thread i'm on.
did you test today? or are you waiting for the weekend?

Sending everyone good luck vibes!!!!

Pinkemi · 14/07/2017 14:48

@whyhastherumgone haha I wanted to put something like.. "Oh i am so happy for you.. congrats.. Envy" but then was like.. no.. thats so unfair of me! haha

in all seriousness though, you must post! This is the purpose of this post in the grand scheme of things isnt it.. we are ALL after our BFP's. Smile

I really want to test tonight when I get home.. but i just dunno if i should bother wasting my last FR test when I feel like 70% sure that i'm not preggers this month.

its hard.. I am getting so many symptoms.. like I feel really tired and ive got a weird cramp near my hips. BUT.. i could be tired because i spent the whole of yesterday helping my mother in law pack up her house (did about 18k steps yesterday!) and my hips could be hurting because of the amount of time i spent standing up yesterday. My CM is different to what it was last month.. (there seems to be more of it.. and its thicker!) and my cervix seems to be hiding up there.. it's dropped but not nearly as much as it does normally.

Also felt a bit sick earlier.. but again.. this could just be my PMS kicking off again..

WHY do early pregnancy signs have to be so similar to PMS symptoms??! Its so unfair! Sad

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 15:08

I was wondering why the embarrassed face when you said you got bfp! Baby dust is contagious I believe, there will be more to follow I am sure of it!!

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 15:11

Yeah it is bloody annoying about the symptom thing! My boobs feel heavy cervix feels more rubbery, am tired and pale, also am getting funny pully sensation in my pelvis but that is probably a bloody uti from all the shagging but still the whitest of white preg test is driving me nuts!

whyhastherumgone · 14/07/2017 15:15

@Pinkemi you sound exactly like i've been, my to get your hopes up - but i had written off this month as i had so many AF ish symptoms but with queasiness. I really really hope it's not other AF!! i know what you mean i feel like it's just an extra stress thrown in that all the symptoms could b something to else!

Sam91TRS15 · 14/07/2017 15:26

Congrats mrsg and rum!! I am so happy for you both! I was hoping to come back to some bfps!!
On another note mine was a BFN, although I'm only cd18 of a 25 day cycle so we will wait and see!! I thought I was ovulating early again because of spotting but I now think it was just left over AF! I think my body is still getting back to normal.
But on a positive note it means I get to drink this weekend on a hen do!
Hopefully this thread is on a BFP roll! Xx

Pinkemi · 14/07/2017 15:28

@Cookie1831 Lets hope its contagious eh! Smile

@whyhastherumgone ah man.. now i am getting hopeful! haha you are just wanting me to use my last test aren't you... admit it! Wink

Oh i also have a damn cold which wont go away! And obviously.. coz i'm worried I could be preggers.. I haven't been able to take any Sudafed or anything to get rid of it. SO ANNOYING!

@Cookie1831 when are you testing?

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 16:03

Every other day at the minute as no idea when could have ovulated if at all this cycle, am trying to have the will power to only test once or twice a week as is costing me a fortune but I can't help myself!! Bought some cheapy waitrose ones to use but going to get some FReR to have as back up in case get anything that looks like possible positive x

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 16:05

I have even down loaded one of those photo negative app things on my phone for checking squinters I really need to get a grip/life/hobby!!Blush

Pinkemi · 14/07/2017 16:13

haha oh Cookie! I shouldn't laugh.. but that is quite funny. Although.. I haven't even had a squinter so thats probably why i find it amusing.

So where can I actually buy a FRER in store? Ive always just ordered off Amazon..

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 16:30

I am a self confessed TTC loser Grin
Am even more confused now just been to loo and have stretchy stringy EWCM?? Could I be ovulating now then after 6 and a half bloody weeks??

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 16:30

Sorry ignored your question Boots sell them

Pinkemi · 14/07/2017 16:40

Oh my god.. that is what I have! 2 days before AF is due.. well Its a mixture of that and the glue type one.. (if that makes sense.)

Have you checked your cervix position?

Looks like I will be making a trip to Boots at the weekend then. Wink

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 17:17

It's sorta middle been higher been lower but feels more round and rubbery like a rubber ring if that makes sense??
Should we both test on Sunday??x

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 17:18

Although my boots was was negative today not it isn't sensitive at all Hmm

Pinkemi · 14/07/2017 17:30

I was going to "try" and hold out until Sunday evening.. give AF a bit of time to show up so i don't waste a test.

Although.. I have to admit I am feeling VERY tempted to test tonight.. Grin If its a negative on a FRER test then at least I know AF will be making a visit on Sunday.

JustAMuggle · 14/07/2017 18:05

Hi all, I'm new to all of this but have loved reading all your messages and seeing that I'm not the only one who keeps testing! Grin This is our first month ttc properly (following ovia, doing opks), I feel like as AF is due Monday that I'm obsessing these last few days and probably seeing symptoms that aren't there, still getting BFN's and can't imagine this will be the month as I really don't think I've tracked properly!

Cookie1831 · 14/07/2017 18:10

Keep us posted!! I am tempted to drink wine tonight Wine
