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?

Ooh looks like i missed quite a bit over the weekend!

Welcome to the two new-comers to the thread. :) @Xjo1992x and @ScarletSienna. Hope you get your + soon Xjo1992x.

@JustaMuggle.. Nothing wrong with being a moaner! That's what I have been doing. haha Where abouts are you in your cycle now?
Haven't read the book no.. is it Fiction?

@TheGrumpySquirrel Lets hope this FW is your week! I am just coming out of mine.. so now onto the two week wait. (I'm day 16 in my cycle. ) Hate this point the most.. the am i or aren't i stage!

@Anban AHHHH!! Another positive! yey!!! :) Congrats!!! I second @Cookie1831 with Yummy! I think melted marshmallows is a good idea.

So this weekend I have eaten TERRIBLY! So bad that I feared stepping onto the scales. Back to being good this week. Woke up feeling sick this morning but I think its basically down to all the rubbish I have eaten. lol Trying really really hard not to symptom spot!

Think i have ballsed up my BBT readings tho.. as I didnt realise you had to take them at the same time every morning.. So mine are up and down all over the place. :( Not sure it will give me a true reading but never mind.. Just have to make sure I do them all at 6:30am now.

Congrats anban!! And Mrs g, any news on the positive?? Is it any stronger now?
This thread is on a roll, won't be long til everyone has their bfps I think!!

So i now have NO idea where I am in my cycle coz of my two peak readings. I could either be 5dpo or 3 dpo.

Ovia has no clue what is going on. It can't give me a countdown on days left until I can test for pregnancy.

Clue seems to think my Ovulation day is today.. But i haven't been putting my Ovulation stick results into this so it is guessing that it should be now.

I had quite a dip in my BBT this morning BUT this could just be because I have only been tracking this for about 4 days.. and i haven't been able to do it at the same time every day.

My boobs are feeling tender.. keep getting sharp pains every now and then.. and they also dont feel like they fit in my bra properly but this could just be because I've put on a bit of weight recently.

I've got this pulling sensation down there.. needing to pee a lot.. and terribly constipated (sorry if TMI). ALL OF THESE could be indications of a BFP but it just seems far too early.. so is probably a coincidence. What ever it is.. this TTC is again driving me nuts.. as now coming into the 2WW... the dreaded 2WW.

Aw @Pinkemi hopefully this month it'll be worth the wait for you and you'll get your BFP! Crossing everything for you.

Ovia says I'm CD43 and I don't think I've ovulated in that time (the opk's were crappy ones though so who knows). I've started doing my BBT now so I'll try and keep doing that in the hope that it can at least give me some sign I've ovulated. I've even been reading up about acupuncture to try and get AF on her way and regular again.. not sure about it though

The Izzy Judd book is a MUST read for anyone ttc, I got it for £7 in Tesco and I didn't put it down. It's all about her struggles ttc and what she went through physically/ mentally/ emotionally. I can imagine that 99% of women actually ttc can relate to her!

@JustAMuggle...CD43? How long are you cycles normally?

I also looked into Acupuncture.. but seeing as i HATE needles.. i didn't think that this was a good idea! haha Are you going to do it?

I will have a look for that book in Tescos then. :)

@Pinkemi well they used to be between 21-35 days but then I went on the mini pill to help with the pain I used to be in and it stopped periods completely for 3 years. Now I've had one period since I came off of it on 20th April (so should count that as my withdrawal bleed).

I feel like I'm jumping the gun and should be patient buuutt I'm the most impatient person ever so I'm more than likely going to do the acupuncture. I just want to find the right person to do it so will get my research head on properly. (I'm literally doing everything the book advises not to do.. of course!)

His all! I haven't abandoned the thread. Just been busy and a bit all over the place, and I'm at that point post-AF where I'm waiting to (hopefully) ovulate. CD12 so if all the pills I'm taking are doing their thing then hopefully it'll be soon. Started charting BBT for the first time this cycle. It's a little up and down but generally around and doesn't go over 36.4°C. Fingers crossed we won't miss it if it happens, trying to DTD anyway in case but my OH is being run ragged doing 60-70 hour weeks at work. Not easy to get someone in the mood when they're physically and mentally exhausted.

I spy another positive in my absence! Congrats @Anban !

I have now done four tests. I haven't abandoned you all yet. :p

Izzy Judd book is amazing. I read it non stop in a day. Made me weepy. Such fantastic story she has gone through. I also loved it for the anxiety parts which I really related to.

As so many people are getting their bfp on this thread, can we link a positive test to the amount of sticks peed on?

@JemDoughnut Ive just started BBT'ing too.. and mine is also jumping all over the place. I'm finding it far more confusing then i thought i would. hope you are having better luck than I am!

@JustAMuggle If you DO go for acupuncture.. please do let us know! I wanna know what its like.. but just cant bring myself to do it. haha

@Anban.. Congrats! It must be such a nice feeling to read those words on the stick. :)

So.. yesterday I got my normal 2 week before AF mood swing.. and my boobs were tender. :( I've almost convinced myself that I am out again this month.. so woke up this morning really annoyed. We have tried SO hard this month.. if I am out then Im going to be really bloody irritated.

Ah lovely anban a digital positive is great to see! X

Don't count yourself out yet pink I am CD5 so a long way to go yet x

@Cookie1831 I am trying not to.. but its bloody hard. Especially when people around me are having babies or baby showers etc. :(

listen to me moaning when im only on Cycle 4.. god knows how you guys who are on like 17 cycles etc feel. I have a lot of admiration for you! Just meh.. meh meh meh! (Mood swing again.)

@Pinkemi it'll happen for you don't worry, just keep enjoying the practising until it does

@Anban yay! So happy for you

So AF reared her ugly head yesterday! Woken up in the worst pain this morning, the one reason why I never wanted to come off my pain hiding pill. Pain or not though she's hear and that's a good thing in the grand scheme of things.

Hi guys. Just entering the TWW again now. AF due August 16th. I'm going on holiday on the 11th (9dpo) so I hope that will provide enough distraction from POAS-ing! I was driven so crazy last month by temping and cervix checking, I'm determined I'm not going to do that again.

@Pinkemi I don't think it helps that all the example charts you see are so 'neat'. I searched for other people's on here to get a more realistic idea of what they look like, it was a little reassuring to see other crazy looking charts.

I've attached mine as of this morning. It's a little spiky. Pink section is period, green is what the app have predicted as my fertile window, but as this is my first month on Metformin and I don't have a cycle fully charted yet, I feel a little like I'm flying blind!

hey BunsOfAnarchy , you really are excited, testing is ok its just that you have to buy the kit and put to use, but just hold on take a deep breath and wait for the days before your periods, and the wait can be long so patience is the virtue you need to have now.

@JustAMuggle Sorry to hear about AF pain! (hug)

@TheGrumpySquirrel Me too! Although AF Is due on 14th for me. I am trying to keep myself busy so I dont symptom spot.. but am finding it pretty hard not to! haha

@JemDoughnut that is similar to mine! Although i have only been charting for about 5 days or so.. so I haven't got too much data to compare yet... And i didn't start until like the day before my app predicted ovulation.. so I have a big dip.. (suspected ovulation) and then it goes up.. and then another big dip and then it slowly goes up again. So today was day three of it rising.. so confusing.

@Megha22 Buns doesn't need to test anymore.. she got her BFP! The rest of us are just hijacking her post. haha

Ahh good luck @Pinkemi ! Will check in with you over the next 12 days...

@TheGrumpySquirrel and good luck to you tooooooo :)

Urgh.. why why why did I waste it!! Today I've been having horrible AF style cramps for a lot of the day, terrible wind and my BBT took a major drop like 2 days ago and is back on the rise. For a moment thought.. I wonder if these are all indications of implantation.

Stupidly started googling.. and saw results of people gettinf their positive 6dpo (same as me) so thought.. yeah I'll give it a go. :-(

Knowing my luck I've got some sorta bladder infection from all the blasted sex I've been having. sigh

Can't even pretend there is a glimmer of a line as there really isn't.

Aw lovely that is pants fingers crossed is just too early! I am going away for a few days and wifi may not be great hopefully will come back to loads of Good news xx

Thank you Cookie.. Really should have known better and just waited! haha Hope you have a lovely time away. :)

I think i'm out again.. CM is beginning to get creamy and sticky again.. Although i seem to have more of it then normal? No other symptoms now.. boobs seem normal, no stomach pains or anything.

I have decided that I'm going to start Slimming World from home again. I NEED to drop this weight. No more f"cking around anymore!

Oh @Pinkemi I hope that you're not out yet (or at all in fact), I'm here for SW support if you need any. I'm still struggling through week by week, not getting anywhere fast!

Hey guys can anyone see anything ? I'm early testing but first pic is from 4 days ago and then the other is yesterday and I introverted it ? Or am I mad?

Hard to tell but if you hold FRERs up to the light you can always see the indent line.. I'm not sure it's anything more than that I'm afraid. Have you got a pic without the light behind it?

4dpo here and lotiony cm which I now know is normal for this cycle point for me. The difference in my BFP month was just TONS of it around 7dpo, a high cervix and slightly sore nipples. Otherwise I felt totally normal. Gah. We are going on holiday in 5 days and I'm so tempted to test the morning we leave but all my early testing last month has put me off.
