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?

Yes! To Game of Thrones, but I'll say no more because spoilers.

Thanks for the AF sympathy. It seems to have finally died down today. Longer and angrier than the last one. Maybe my follicular phase will be longer too this time?
Though I don't know if it makes a difference. Anyone else know?

I'm sorry you still don't feel great, @Pinkemi, right now I want for you get your BFP more than for myself. Flowers

Oh no @JustAMuggle! What rubbish timing.

Pinkemi · 16/08/2017 09:08

@JustAMuggle you sound exactly like me! I have been logging my BBT this cycle and every morning I stare at it and go.. but what does it all mean?! Fingers crossed that your DTD will work!

@JemDoughnut Awh thanks hun.. thats really sweet! I feel very guilty for being so moany and whiney though..

Day 3... and still no sign of AF. Confused When do you think I should test again? I was thinking maybe Saturday morning? (if I can wait out that long.)

Pinkemi · 16/08/2017 11:27

So.. just did my cervix test and had a bit of blood.. So.. i think AF is on its way. I will keep you guys in the loop. Feeling very sad and angry right now. Sad Angry

Pinkemi · 16/08/2017 17:01

So... to say I am confused is an understatement.. I am getting pink blood ONLY when I wipe. Have been wearing a pad all day in case AF started in full force and so far nothing has gone in it.. Confused What on earth can this mean? I've never had a period start this slowly! Im getting a dull period style ache but it just doesn't seem to want to start properly. :( Surely it can't be implantation bleeding this late? 3 days late for AF??

Sam91TRS15 · 16/08/2017 17:22

Pinkemi what sort of test did you use that got you a BFN? Can you try a first response, just to see what comes up? It could just be stress causing AF to take its time, or you are awaiting your BFP, and maybe just checking your cervix just aggravated it a little and that's why you are getting a little blood?

Pinkemi · 16/08/2017 17:47

I used a FR the day my period was due and it came back negative. I'm not stressed (as far as I know) so can't imagine it is that?

I'm getting more blood but it's only when I wipe.. there isn't enough to go into the pad I am wearing .

Pinkemi · 16/08/2017 20:19

Meh you know.. I think I'm trying to convince myself that this isn't my period when we all know it probably is and it just happened to be 3 days late. Angry

I've set my apps to first day of period and starting again. New month..

This was my first cycle tracking my Bbt and I started half way through. Anyone know if I keep taking my temperature though my period or start up again once it has finished??

JustAMuggle · 17/08/2017 08:18

Sorry that this isn't the month @Pinkemi I'd track it every day just, I'm sure that having that data could help (I've done mine every day).

Ovia has changed my fertility window for the second time now. First was based on my bbt and this time because I've got ewcm (first time that I've had this so that's a positive!) I'm home late tonight but going to make sure we dtd in the hope that it's still in the window. Fingers crossed!

Pinkemi · 17/08/2017 11:33

Okay.. (slaps herself) time to snap out of the pity party! Some of you guys have been trying much longer then me.. and I don't see you guys moping about like idiots! :)

@JustaMuggle yeah i'm going to continue so I can have a better idea of how my temp will fluctuate.

I know I said it last month.. but I am really going to focus on my weight loss this time.. Signed back up to Slimming World online the other day. My thought was that if I am paying £20 a month to be on there.. it will hopefully encourage me to be better at it! I am working towards my Gold body magic award to try and get me to move my butt a bit more! (Although with these stomach cramps.. the last thing I want to do is exercise!!)

Hope you DTD in time @JustAMuggle so that this is your month! :)

Cookie1831 · 17/08/2017 14:01

Ah pink am sorry lovely am praying it is an implantation bleed and not the witch, but if it is you are right get on that slimming world mission as it is Sod's law that as soon as you are getting all slinky and lovely that Mother Nature will ruin your nice new body with pregnancy!! You are not moany at all we are all feeling the same we start with the pity party then we have a sympathy soirée!xxxx

Pinkemi · 17/08/2017 16:54

@Cookie1831 thanks my dear.. sadly though.. this is definitely the Witch. She started off slow and is now giving me hell for the 3 days of lateness!!

I used to be really into my running.. So have bought this gadget called Vi from Lifebeam. (www.getvi.com/) I have been saving up to buy myself something to help me sort out my fat body.. so thought you know what.. sod it! Lets get it! It arrived today... so I am thinking about taking it for a spin later. :) Sadly it needs 2hrs worth of tracking before it can "train" you.. but im hoping this will spur me on a bit.

I'm still doing T25 too.. although have to admit i've missed a couple of days today. August / September is going to be my month of dropping these lbs! Technically I need to lose about 4stone to get into healthy weight range.. but if i could drop just a stone and a half.. i would be the lowest I have been in a LONG time.

technically 21lbs should take me 10 weeks or so... (if weight loss was linear and you always lost 2lbs a week. hahah)

#positive

Sam91TRS15 · 17/08/2017 20:54

Oh pinkemi, I'm so sorry. I was sure this was your month from everything you had described over the past few weeks!
Defo focusing on the running and weight loss will help take your mind off it. I found focusing on calorie counting gave me something else to think about instead of the TTC thing. Fx for next month for everyone x

Pinkemi · 17/08/2017 21:04

@Sam91TRS15 Thanks.. your not the only one! I Was convinced too. Angry

So went out for a run earlier.. now feeling exhausted but better for it. Smile

JustAMuggle · 19/08/2017 19:15

I'm hoping that I can class this as a positive opk? This is the darkest line I've ever got!!

Jesus Christ someone tape my hands together - Prego Tests
Cookie1831 · 20/08/2017 10:18

Which one is the control line? Does look dark but I have never used those ones x
Well today is CD24 not sure how many days PO but I had loads of CM about 10 days ago so could be round then my boobs are hurting so I think I will test tomorrow that isn't too crazy early by my usual standards have some FRER at home I got yesterday will prob be negative but am going to give it a go!

JustAMuggle · 20/08/2017 19:28

The top one is the control line, I've tested three times today and with each one the line is getting lighter and lighter. The last one is basically non-existent. After a long week I was far too tired to dtd last night, we did this morning so I'm hoping that I've caught it in time. If not then at least I know I've ovulated which I didn't think I was!
Good luck for your test tomorrow :D let us know how it goes

Cookie1831 · 21/08/2017 08:41

BFN as usual oh well on we go x

JustAMuggle · 21/08/2017 16:44

This whole ttc is exhausting! I feel like it's everything I think about and plan around! Must. Not. Let. It. Take. Over. My. Life.
Sorry about the BFN @Cookie1831 :(

Pinkemi · 22/08/2017 09:13

Hey guys... sorry for the absence over the past few days. My AF really got me down and I felt I needed a break away from everything to get my mind back in the right mindset. Really do feel like "what is the point" still though. Meh.

Sorry to hear about the BFN @Cookie1831. That sucks. :(

Hope you managed to catch it in time @JustAMuggle before you got sent away for work!

Last day of AF for me yesterday.. so will be back in the saddle again soon.

Cookie1831 · 22/08/2017 16:22

Good you are back and thanks for the sympathy ladies! To be fair AF isn't actually due to Friday at the earliest and last cycle was almost 9 weeks so expecting anything other than BFN at day 25 is probably deluded in my case!!! Let's get positive mentally and on the old plastic strips Grin

JustAMuggle · 24/08/2017 19:04

I think we all need to take a positive pill Grin although I don't think there's many people left on here now?

@Pinkemi I'm crossing everything that this is your month. You sound like you really need that bfp xx Just try and dtd as much as you can and hopefully you'll catch it.

This 2ww is boring now, I feel like I worked myself up so much that now I'm waiting around for symptoms to appear haha.

@Cookie1831 9 weeks?! Is there a reason why it was so long?

Cookie1831 · 24/08/2017 19:28

I am bored too muggle day 27 here and tricked myself into having sore boobs so just did another frer damn 3 for 2 pack taunting me from my drawer and another neg FfS! I am having a big glass of wine! Xxx

Cookie1831 · 24/08/2017 19:42

No reason just long screwed up cycles stress probably playing a part x

JustAMuggle · 24/08/2017 21:11

I hate when your cycle is all over the place, mine used to be like clockwork when I was younger. Now when it's important that they're regular.. no chance!!

Oh no :( hopefully you're just testing too early. When do you ovulate in your cycle?

I'm sat here trying to make myself believe that I can't feel cramps. I don't know if I'm making it up or not x

Cookie1831 · 24/08/2017 23:19

No idea if or when I have ovulated this cycle thought I would skip the opk then panicked and did a few but neg last week it's all a ball ache I have decided am going to book a holiday Shock
