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?

Congrats whytherum!

Got a near pos LH test this morning so have dtd this evening and will probably be at it all weekend too.

On a completely related note, do other people do the wakka walk? The lovely little knees together dance to the loo post shag that makes ya feel like pacman (after giving the little guys a chance to swim up ofc...)

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/07/2017 22:36

I'm testing in the morning.. 10dpo 🤞🏼

Pinkemi · 14/07/2017 23:26

@Anban.. we have a roll of tissue near the bed.. so I can shove a load there before I have to waddle to the bathroom. Hahaha GrinGrin

Good luck Grumpy with your testing... I hope it's a positive for you .

I haven't had a glass of wine.. even though I really wanted it. I guess there is a part of me which still hopes... :-(

Anban · 14/07/2017 23:28

I am doing all my drinking now to get it out the way. It was our anniversary this week and we recieved a few bottles. hic

BunsOfAnarchy · 15/07/2017 01:13

Congratulations wheretherum!

Hello again ladies. Missed this group of ours....well not missed it too much as been on holiday lol. Currently I'm now around 8/9dpo and no symptoms aside from severe heartburn for last 6 days which I only really realised was probably a prego symptom like 2 days ago.

Got 6 amazon cheapies to sustain any urges of peeing and 2 frer but I feel like I don't wana waste them as I don't think I'm pregnant. Also I'm not back home till Monday night so I don't wanna spend last few days doing a jekyll and Hyde with hubby lol.

Good luck to all this month. I've been naughty and had a few drinks (more than a few). But my defence is its my wedding anniversary and I'm pretty sure my ovaries are not friends with me anyway (stupid bitches)

Good luck!xx

Cookie1831 · 15/07/2017 07:11

Hi muggle sorry missed your original post x
Aw enjoy the hols girls and never worry about the alcohol I got really tiddled before my BFP with my DS, someone said on one of the other chats think it was the march bus to "have wine until the line"
Sorry for the BFNs I have kept my FMU as the tests upstairs and I am downstairs with my littlie I probably will test again as am at a BBQ today x

Cookie1831 · 15/07/2017 07:12

Happy wedding anniversaries too

Anban · 15/07/2017 07:45

Ov tested this morning and it was negative so we missed it, good job we dtd yesterday. Will have to again this evening. Man this getting pregnant malarkey is much harder than sex ed suggested.

Happy anniversary Buns!

JustAMuggle · 15/07/2017 08:37

Morning everyone! I've got a question.. I've been using the cheapy amazon opks and tests (one step), I only got faint lines on the opks for a few days and then nothing so does that mean I didn't ovulate or they probably didn't work? I had all the cramps that I normally get midway through the month (I'm assuming when I normally ovulate).
I don't want to obsess too much as it's only our first month ttc but you know what it's like when you want something so bad!

Anban · 15/07/2017 12:39

What's your normal cycle length? Is it possible you were too late?

JustAMuggle · 15/07/2017 16:07

This is actually only my first month since my withdrawal bleed. I was on the pill for 3 years and didn't have any periods, I'm trying to stay hopeful that everything isn't messed up (especially after some stories about Cerazette).
I'm pretty sure AF is on her way, got the cramps and backache today so might be able to track better next month.

BunsOfAnarchy · 16/07/2017 01:59

Fingers crossed for all. Muggle I think those amazon cheapies for opk aren't reliable. Maybe try clear blue?

So today I tried a test. I'm now 9/10dpo and needed to use amazon cheapie. And the only cup for me to pee in that wasn't a drinking cup was....a plastic coconut in my hotel bathroom that splits open to reveal a complementary toiletries..... BFN.

Poor coconut. I feel so dirty lol

Hahah Buns.. you do make me laugh! Which I need.. as AF arrived in full force this morning . Going to drown my sorrows in a bottle of wine later.. (if I get the chance.) So fed up. :-(

Cookie1831 · 16/07/2017 10:42

Ah no pinkemi am sorry definitely give yourself time to have a mope chocolate and wine xx
Ha ha buns desperate times next time I see a coconut I will no doubt be thinking of one full of wee!!

BunsOfAnarchy · 16/07/2017 11:17

Oh no Pinkemi you deserve a bottle plus a tub of ice cream for that. And a bar of dairy milk oreo (it's the best during af)

Pinkemi · 16/07/2017 19:28

Thanks guys! Feeling very fed up. Started watching one born.. and had to turn it off. :-(

Anban · 16/07/2017 19:42

Aw poor Pinkie. :(
I watched Bridget Jones Baby the other day and sobbed.

So so many lols Bun!!

I am back to symptom spotting. Are nipples sore if pregnant 3dpo?!? Grin

Cookie1831 · 16/07/2017 19:45

Aw yeah I would go for something funny and trashy on TV petal, well I am day 50 no sign of AF that one day of stringy EWCM went then a day of normal creamy cm now very little of anything so who knows wtf is going on. have a GP appt Tuesday so will arrange some bloods then. Will test AGAIN tomorrow I must have had at least 10 BFN already this month so what's another to add to the pile Confused
Hope everybody is having a chilled Sunday evening xxx

Cookie1831 · 16/07/2017 19:47

Yep definitely sore nipples or itchy or veiny or bumpy!!!
Mine are bigger but probably just because I am a pig and have put on weight, my 2 year old kept grabbing them today hopefully it is a sign Smile

Cookie1831 · 16/07/2017 19:47

My boobs are bigger, not just my nipples that would be weird!!!

Anban · 16/07/2017 20:49

Don't encourage me!! Ahah though surely nipples get bigger as the boob does to corelate the size.

I think not knowing is the worse. Good luck at the drs.

Pinkemi · 17/07/2017 14:18

oh my... this AF is being particularly horrible to me! I normally only get cramps for the first day.. now on the second day and the cramps are still awful. Sitting here at work wishing I had a hot water bottle. (even though its too hot for one! lol) It's like.. THANKS AF! Rub it in even more why don't you!!

I have decided today.. that my weight is obviously the biggest issue here. I checked my BMI and its 31!! Anything over 30 is considered to be obese. :( I mean I know i have to take it with a pinch of salt.. as I did use to do a reasonable amount of exercise so some of it could be muscle.. but I know my body fat is something like 42%.

My diet isn't that bad.. We generally eat pretty healthily.. i think its my portions and my lack of exercise. (i've been so lazy recently.)

Time to schedule exercise into my daily diary again! The more i exercise.. the more I want to eat healthy!

Cookie1831 · 17/07/2017 20:20

I am on a health kick too need to shift a few pounds before holiday my belly is all wobbly and horrible!
