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?

Weight has to be a major factor ... i just dunno what else it could be.. except stress.. but I'm hoping the stressy things in my life are now over for a while! Haha

Day 2 of AF and I would like her to leave now!!

Actually I bought another book today.. fertility for beginners. It's meant to tell you what's best to eat to improve fertility etc. I'm hoping it will give me inspiration.

Oh cool, imagine if it said pizza and cake I would be so happy

Hey everyone, sorry I abandoned this thread when AF arrived. Put me on a downer for a few days but back on it. Had a solid smiley on my OPK yesterday so have been DTD to the point my man is knackered. So now it's back to the wait. Armed with cheapies this time as I spent a fortune last month.

Seems I've missed a bit. Congrats @mrsgembles and @whyhastherum gone!

So had managed to not go too crazy POAS considering I'm on CD45. Had accepted that its not happened this time and my cycle's just buggered (I do have PCOS afterall), and just want AF to hurry up and start already, and then yesterday and today OH has questioned my eating habits (not in a mean way) with a, "you sure you're not pregnant?" (I just really like gherkins!). Yesterday was jokier, but today had the added, "You still haven't had your period either".

So now I'm probably wasting another stick in the morning 'just in case'.

Lol @Californiadreaming15 poor fella lol.

@JemDoughnut it could be a potential sign. Just give it a go in morning and see if the elusive line appears. Fingers crossed.

Well I'm back in blighty after nearly 22 hours of travelling but I made sure I did an amazon cheapie before we checked out... plastic coconut said NOOOOOO. serves me right for peeing in weird things to begin with.

I have zero symptoms. I had severe heartburn for a week solid until I realised it was a symptom but that too has subsided. Oh well.

@Pinkemi join the club...I'm on strict health kick as of tomorrow. My bmi was 25 last I checked...rocketed to 27 by now after indulgences for 2 weeks. It'll only benefit us more while pregnant and after birth too

Hubby disturbed my fmu. So did frer using the trickles after about 10 min's. This evap line? Not getting excited. Not yet. I feel it's evap. But it is pink

Ooh buns, that looks good! I tested last night and this morning with blue tesco ones, I felt like I could see more of a line than the morning yday but haven't taken a pic because I know there actually is nothing there. I don't like the blue ones so I plan to find a pink test after work today!
I'm on a health lick too for friends wedding, but found out yday green tea is bad for TTC??
I'm sorry about AF pinkemi , I have been cramping a bit so I am expecting it too..

@Sam91TRS15 I think i read that green tea isn't specifically bad for TTC.. It's the caffeine content that is bad! I was a massive tea drinker (normal and green) but am now limiting my intake to just one normal cup of tea / green tea and the rest is redbush as it is naturally caffeine free. :)

@BunsOfAnarchy I dunno... that looks good! especially if it was picked up with only a bit of wee!

Day 3 and i STILL have cramps.. this is not the norm... getting a bit worried now.

buns that looks positive to me eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

How weird I had 2 green teas yesterday for the first time in months to try and lose weight apparently it's meant to help (probably more because no milk and sugar)

I read that it can prevent folic acid uptake from prenatal vitamins, but I think as long as you don't drink green tea around the same time it's fine. I think if I research enough even water would be bad - I need to stay away from google

@Sam91TRS15 seriously?! Now i need to stay away from green tea! @Cookie1831 I've been doing the same as you and started drinking it for the weight loss benefits. At this rate.. i wont be able to drink anything! or eat anything! ha!

Interestingly.. Slimming World seems to be the only diet which doctors encourage for losing weight and TTC. I guess its because SW encourages you to eat lots of fruit and veg (free foods) and lean meats.. BUT it does encourage you to eat lots of fat-free diary.. which i read wasn't good for TTC.. I guess everything in moderation!

Saying that.. i am part of an Exante (VLCD) group on Facebook.. and it appears that quite a few ladies dropped loads of weight and then became pregnant.. which backs my claim that weight is an issue.

I dunno what im talking about here.. just rambling! haha

Haha apparently so! But online suggests most fruit teas are bad and apparently salt is good for TTC (I can't remember where I read that though!). I defo think everything in moderation, I was going to start drinking green tea loads during the day because it is meant to boost metabolism.. But you just don't know. I won't even take hayfever medicine cos it can dry you out. But I was never like this with my DD so I think stressing out over everything is pretty bad for TTC!!

wait.. ALL herbal teas are bad?! WTF? :( I am screwed then!

That's what I mean - I think it's all just a little bit crazy when you start googling! It's hibiscus in fruit teas which apprently used to be used as a natural contraceptive - but I think it's super dilute in teas. Sorry I am just scaring everybody now. I'm just a little crazy after the mmc I am double checking everything!!

I am on slimming world too I don't have much dairy the odd miller light but i don't like loads of artificial sweeteners and crap so mainly try and stick to fruit veg lean meat and smaller portions of carbs apart from one cheat day then I go a bit mad x

@Sam91TRS15 Sorry to hear about the MMC. :(

@Cookie1831 I am "sort of" following SW.. Just trying to make better choices! So have fruit and a small handful on nuts instead of having a chocolate bar. Obviously will have a small one if I feel like I really really need to so I don't end up binge-ing stupidly on it.

Hopefully this will all be our month!! :)

Thanks pinkemi, we weren't planning to have a baby so soon, but the baby was a happy surprise - so now I'm going crazy TTC which I wasn't expecting to have to do..
I am corie counting so I find the Muller lights are really good - you should try the chocolate fix light yoghurts, I find that really helps when I fancy chocolate

@BunsOfAnarchy Could've been...but doesn't look like it. BFN this morning. You look like you've got a pretty good line there though.

Getting a little envious of all these lines!

I'm attempting following a low GL diet, less dairy, and no caffeine. Not focusing too much on the weight though, I'm a healthy weight already, and stepping on the scales too much leads me to some unhealthy restricting.

Google can definitely bring on the crazy. Apparently I shouldn't eat broccoli. BROCCOLI.

@Sam91TRS15 I never thought i would be this obsessed either.. which is totally the opposite of what we should be! haha

@JemDoughnut - Okay.. WHAT is wrong with Broccoli?!

Haha Jem what's wrong with broccoli? I ate some on holiday the low gl diet looks complicated, I'm a super fussy eater and don't cook much so most diets are too difficult for me to follow.
I am loving the bfps, it gives me hope. Though i am struggling with the number of newborns around me, they are everywhere. Instead of my usual aww cute its more of a whimper

@Pinkemi and @Sam91TRS15 Nothing in general (I don't think), don't worry about your holiday broccoli! But I also have hypothyroidism (my body is really working against me hormonally) and a few diets for that say no broccoli. According to the great and powerful internet, between my ovaries and my thyroid I should probably only eat dust.

What do we think girls? The pics don't come out very clear.. I'm really trying to hold out from trying another until tomorrow but it looks like I am so close to something....

Oh sam I see a line too!!!! Wow what a day!
jem I have hypothyroidism too and pretty sure PCOS going to ask for bloods and USS at appt this afternoon as cycles so long
I never knew that about broccoli going to have a Google!!

@cookie1831 how did your appointment go?

On a side note.. is anyone watching "The Handmaids Tale"?
