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?

Yeah I would expect them to at that sensitivity agree with the stress thing, it's so hard though not to be constantly thinking and annoyed by it all, everybody in pregnant it seems it's all that is on TV, in the news, I have a group of friends on what's app of the 5 of us 3 are pregnant and obviously I don't begrudge them a thing but it's just a bit shit! And feeling really emotional today can you tell ?? I blame there lack of sugar from trying to be good!

@Cookie1831 yep.. all in the news... new royal baby.. yey. [sarcasm]
(in all seriousness.. happy for them..haha)

(hug) sorry you are feeling so emotional. Rest up and feel better in the morning. :)

Cookie1831 · 04/09/2017 18:18

I know I am too I actually really like Kate Middleton! Feeling better this evening am such a nutter Blush

Pinkemi · 04/09/2017 18:36

Glad you do.. I had a little cry in the car on the way home for NO reason at all. Just suddenly felt really emotional. Confused

Saying that AF is due next week.. probably the reason.

Cookie1831 · 04/09/2017 19:26

I cried at trolls yesterday!!

Cookie1831 · 05/09/2017 06:31

So cd40 seems to be cd1 have woken to some pinky bloody obvs my first thought was implantation not af because I am a nut but saw sense didn't test and will see what happens the rest of the day obviously am sad not pregnant but happy that cycle shorter than last on we go...

Pinkemi · 05/09/2017 10:03

ah... @Cookie1831 that would explain your emotional-ness yesterday. :( Sorry to hear this month wasn't your month!

Ovia told me today that I have 4 days until I am able to test.. but part of me feels like what is the point. (Sad to say.)

All my symptoms have been pretty much the same as last month so I am sorta convinced im out again.

@JustaMuggle did you get any stranger symptoms this cycle?

Cookie1831 · 05/09/2017 11:56

Ok so now there is nothing at all when I wipe and my boobs hurt (which I don't usually get with period) trying not to get hopes up if no period flow by the morning am totally going to FRER it (I have a problem I know)!!!x

JustAMuggle · 05/09/2017 13:30

@Pinkemi I got implantation cramps and they never went away, maybe 3 days after they started they got REALLY bad during the night. I had no sleep and couldn't lay anywhere other than on my back. Bit TMI but I had diarrhoea quite a bit as well. Other than that nothing really.
I know you mentioned about the bbt before, that was the game changer for me. I put that in Ovia every day and it changed my fertile period which is why I used the ovulation test and got the positive. My temp stayed up every day (I actually got up at 6 every morning to check!) and when I googled what it should look like when you are pregnant mine looked the same.

I'm still not excited... it doesn't feel real and drs don't confirm it for you anymore (?!) so I have to wait a month for a midwife appt!

Cookie1831 · 05/09/2017 13:45

The preg tests in GP surgeries are no different than home ones (less sensitive if anything all 25miu hcg) if you have a home positive test then you just book a midwife appt. it feels like such a long time to wait so in my previous pregnancies I got some extra digital to use in a couple of weeks feels a lot better when it goes to 2-3 or 3plus weeks from conception, or if you can afford it a private early viability scan at 6-7 weeks? I figured it was no different than spending the money on pregnancy tests and wine!x

Cookie1831 · 05/09/2017 17:41

Ah ok is period damn it

JemDoughnut · 05/09/2017 22:24

:( @Cookie1831.

CD27 and now itching to test. Told myself I'd at least wait until tomorrow. Today my zen-like outlook has gone out of the window. I'm not even due or late by normal standards and I'm twitchy. I don't think it's my month anymore, my temps went haywire not long after dipping and spiking. And while I'm not symptom-spotting (nothing to spot!), my lower abdomen feels weird and unusual and I don't like it. It's really irritating and right now I'd almost be happy with AF showing up if it would make it stop...

Pinkemi · 06/09/2017 12:46

@Cookie1831 (hug) sorry lovely.. the same thing happened to me last cycle. it started then stopped then a few hours later.. hit me with full force!

@JustAMuggle I dunno why I asked you that question.. because now I am reading your symptoms thinking.. hmm do i have those? haha
I have been entering my bbt every morning into Ovia. this is my first full cycle of doing it though so it might take the app a little bit of time to re-adjust. Why don't doctors confirm it anymore?!

@JemDoughnut (after reading your username i really want a doughnut now. haha) I am the same as you.. I have been pretty "if it happens it happens" all month.. and now suddenly I am dreaming of testing. I have purposefully not bought any this month so that I dont have that temptation. I am only on C22 out of C29 so i know its way to early to test.

Generally feeling very meh. My Personal trainer told me on Monday that my body was slightly dehydrated. I was like.. it cant be. Ive drunk like 5 pints of water, 2 cups of redbush tea and about 4 fruit teas. I am now wondering if redbush and fruit tea dehydrates you? I felt SO dizzy at work yesterday too which might have something to do with it? Am trying to drink more which means obviously I am visiting the bathroom a lot more too. urgh. Constant need to pee!

Cookie1831 · 06/09/2017 13:03

Docs don't need to confirm it given the accuracy and availability of home pregnancy tests, surgeries are so stretched as it is they just can't particularly because of Jeremy *unt and all his bullshit. Would be lovely though to have an appointment just to have a chat but unfortunately they just can't accommodate it particularly in busy surgeries

Cookie1831 · 06/09/2017 13:06

How weird it sounds like you are doing amazing at your drinking especially decaf and you should be super hydrated pink
Sorry tmi I put a tampon on this morning thinking there would be more of a flow when up and about but hardly anything took it out and still nothing on pad and nothing on wiping? Wish it would just come full flow to stop these silly little "maybe it's implantation" thoughts annoying my head! Am grumpy enough for it to be AF that's for sure!!

Pinkemi · 06/09/2017 14:06

oh my goodness... I just went to the loo and was like.. weird.. my pee is bright yellow but ive been drinking loads! went to google and found this:

"Pregnancy
Anecdotal evidence suggests that bright-yellow urine may be a sign of early pregnancy. However, there are no studies to support these claims."

However.. it could just be because I am taking quite a few vitamins too. lol So im trying not to get too excited about it. First time i have seen my wee be bright yellow though.

Cookie1831 · 06/09/2017 18:51

Hooray to yellow pee equalling bfp!!!
Seems as soon as I type I am not bleeding it comes proper period now so counting today cd1 x

JemDoughnut · 06/09/2017 19:33

Well now I'm going to be checking the colour of my pee!

CD28. BFN. I know I'm not even late but figured at 14DPO something might show. If AF hasn't shown in a week I'll test again.

MamOfFrankie · 06/09/2017 19:48

CD30 yesterday and BFN, but my cycles are usually 31 days. AF was due today but so far it is a no show. Absolutely desperate to POAS, but trying to talk myself out of it. Only had implant removed at the start of August, so am thinking this could have screwed with my cycles? Good job I am back at work to take my mind off it!

Pinkemi · 08/09/2017 17:59

Feeling very angsty today. :-( wanna test to just find out if I'm pregnant but i know it's not worth it. Technically can test on sunday.. good job i don't have any in the house isn't It! But celebrating a friend's birthday tomorrow and could really do with a drink. :-( tempted to anyway seeing as I just feel like this isn't my month.

Pinkemi · 09/09/2017 13:02

So.. still haven't tested but feeling very cranky still and so hot!! Trying hard to not symptom spot but it's becoming difficult not to. Lol on the plus side.. I have to drive tonight as my other half is on call for work.. so that's the drinking dilemma out of the way. Woot!

Cookie1831 · 10/09/2017 11:36

When you testing lovely? Fingers crossed for you x

Cookie1831 · 10/09/2017 11:37

Not much to report here CD4 boring!!!

Pinkemi · 11/09/2017 17:35

I dunno. Thought I should today but actually there is that part of me that just thinks.. screw it. I'm not so what's the point?

Have been off sick for the past couple of days with a bit of a viral infection and a mouth ulcer at the back of my throat. :-( hoping this means I have a BFP when I do eventually get to test. Lol

Cookie1831 · 11/09/2017 20:07

Aw bless you that doesn't sound fun hope you feel better soon x
