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?

I only did the opk after I had ewcm and thought I'd check on the off chance. I don't really want to waste so much money on them though when you can go by other ways, maybe a few months down the line if there's still nothing happening.

A holiday sounds perfect! Where are you going to go?

I wasn't imagining the cramps last night.... they're definitely there. I don't want to get my hopes up but if my calculations are right then it should be roughly around 6/7dpo. Trying to put it to the back of my mind but it's quite difficult

No idea am just thinking about it to be honest need something to take my mind off I stupidly had thought would be pregnant by now it has only been 6 months and already and have 2 lovely children so have no grounds at all to be fed up!
Eeeeekkk really really hope it is some good news we need a bfp on this thread xxx

Hey guys.. sorry been a bit absent. Im trying to just let things happen... be a bit more relax about things.. so have stopped checking my cervix position and my cervical fluid. Am still using the ovulation sticks as I bought them so dont want to waste them. :)

We are also planning on having sex every other day so that it doesn't become too much of a chore ( hate to say it.) Although when i get my peak reading then I am making sure we DTD both days... Just to be sure. ;-)

I'm exercising more and trying to focus on better eating.. so feeling better in myself generally. Am off for a fertility massage next Thursday just for the hell of it as it should be around when my high fertility is due. Other then that.. no stressing.. no worrying.. if it happens it happens! (Although.. easier said then done! haha)

No more wallowing..

oh also measuring my bbt every morning.. but im doing that more out of curiosity then necessity! haha

Sounds like you're on a better track now @Pinkemi hopefully the less you worry about it not happening will mean that it's more likely to happen. It can get a bit too much when your whole day revolves around measuring temperatures, opks, checking cm, checking cervical position, having sex, taking tablets. Good idea to bring it back to basics!
I'm still measuring my bbt, still haven't the foggiest what it means. It's supposed to stay elevated after you've ovulated I think.. mine is up down up down up down so god knows

Glad you're on the up @Pinkemi. Also I think I read that DTD every other day is better anyway, something to do with sperm counts?

According to BBT if I ovulated I ovulated on CD9 last month, so naturally by CD10 this month I'd convinced myself I wasn't going to ovulate. But looks like I did on CD14, which not only am I taking as a good sign as that's like textbook ovulation day, but means we DTD at the perfect time and a couple of days before.

So I'm back in the TWW. Feeling optimistic but also more relaxed about the whole thing. Except for when shopping. I just want to buy some tiny shoes so bad!

@JemDoughnut sounds like the timings worked out perfectly for you so fingers crossed!!

I keep seeing really cute baby clothes and want to stop and look at them but I have to keep walking past or else it'll drive me insane.

I really, really want to test but I know it's too early, Ovia says Friday so I'm going to try my hardest to wait until then. I've felt so dizzy and am STARVING today but I feel like it's too early to be having symptoms (aside from the cramping). I feel like I'm going to be so disappointed if it isn't a bfp this month...

Aw muggle am sending baby magic your way xxx
Day32 here prob test again tomorrow just because I can't help myself x

So I tested this morning because I have had the worst night, had no sleep, feeling sick, hot flushes and stomach pains (not really cramp like). BFN :( I think I must be coming down with something even though I never get ill, that or I'm testing to early? I'm exhausted and honestly just want to cry!

Bfn here too and my boobs really hurt ffs let's eat rubbish and watch bake off xx

I'm still here.. just lurking and reading. :)

According to my apps I am / I have just had my last fertile day so I guess I am now in the dreaded 2WW stage. (just over 2 weeks.. like 2 weeks and 3 days or something.)

I am trying my hardest not to symptom spot as I don't want to unknowingly stress my body out and then get a BFN.

But I am not as hopeful this month as I was last month.. just get the feeling that we haven't DTD enough. (been so busy.)

September will be a no go too.. as Ovia is predicting my fertile period to be over a weekend where I'm away from home on a hen party. At least I will be able to drink I guess! ha!

Actually.. had forgotten about the hen party.. if i DO get my BFP.. that will be interesting. ah well..

@justamuggle sorry to hear you think you are coming down with something. I felt the same this morning.. awful sore throat!

@Cookie1831 I agree with eating rubbish! I haven't been able to stick to my diet for the past few weeks. I have a good week then a rubbish one.. and the cycle continues!

What was Bake off like? now that it has moved channels?

I only got to watch the first half but was good missing Mel and Sue obvs as they made it funny but rest of format all the same I will be watching the series (and eating cake)

My boobs are literally throbbing today please may I get AF soon they are constantly burning

Just caught up on bake off tonight, pleasantly surprised. Although it really made me want cake and there's none in the house. Damn slimming world!
I didn't come down with anything luckily, stomach is still feeling funny like a strange cramp. I can't explain it, I just feel weird. Nipples have started to get really sensitive though today which happens a week or so before AF is due so I'm not expecting anything now.

Why do boobs have to be such a pain? (literally!)

@Justamuggle
Haha I agree with you.. Damn Slimming world!

Sorry to hear you girls are having issues with your boobs! Mine hurt a bit yesterday but I think I was just "imagining" it as they are not bad today.

So my Personal Trainer has been away this month on holiday (he just got engaged) and it appears that I have used this month resting a little too much! I am back to training with him on Monday.. already not looking forward to it!! He has promised to ease me back into it slowly.. which is good! I need to get my butt in gear as I have literally done sod all exercise all week.

I have my "well woman treatment" tonight.. kinda getting a bit nervous about it now.

Hi ladies, first time poster and first month off the pill! So of course I have done 6 tests all negative! I'm so glad other people are as obsessive as me. I was on the pill for 16 years and 2 weeks after I stopped I felt ovulation pains. And now 2 weeks later I feel like I have period pains so probably not preggers but will test over the weekend.

Also I have no idea what all these mumsnet abbreviations are! Can someone explain them for me!

Which ones you confused about lovely? And welcome!!
Oh I know I just cake and crisps and chocolate and none of my clothes fit have put on loads of weight am

Haha well there are so many I feel like I I'm cracking a code reading these posts. Some are AT, DD, DF, DS, BFN, BFP, CD, OPK, EWCM, and TWT. Thanks in advance.

Oops that first one a meant to be AF

@chewbacca83 I had to google a lot of these as I had no clue either! I think there's a Mumsnet acronym list somewhere! The few you've mentioned are:
AF - Aunt Flow (period)
DD & DS - Darling/Dear Daughter/Son
BFN/ BFP - Big fat negative/positive (for tests)
CD - Cycle day
OPK - Ovulation predictor kit
EWCM - Egg whit cervical mucus
Not too sure on the others I'm afraid!

Sooo thoughts ladies... Ovia is saying test tomorrow. Obviously I tested today because I couldn't resist and it was a bfn so if I test tomorrow I feel like it's pointless because it'll say the same. Does that make sense? I've really stressed myself today.. I actually cried at work about it. I don't know if I can do another day of wallowing! I was SO sure that this was the month because I just 'feel' different.

After reading through 26 pages of comments, I feel so glad that it's not just me!

Literally any twinge, and I am like 'I'll just google that and see if it is a pregnancy symptom'.

Only on first cycle of actively TTC for #2, and AF isn't due until 06.09 but I am already going crazy. Didn't help.myself, mind, by rewatching old episodes of One Born

Did you mean TWW? Two week wait (between ovulation and period)

@MamOfFrankie oh my god I've been torturing myself with that program for the last few weeks!! I think I've gone through about 3 series
