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 still have ten days of the 2WW to go ticktockticktock. Any useful tips to keep me distracted?

Thus far I have been relying on MN and The Big Bang Theory to get me through, but ten days sounds like a looooong time.

On a more positive note, back to work after half term on Monday, and I usually don't even have time to pee never mind think about TTC.

I am liking the chilled vibes pink I am back at work tomorrow too after taking a few days off will be a shock to the system! X

MamOfFrankie · 28/10/2017 20:46

I hate being back after time off - everything seems so much harder.

JustAMuggle · 29/10/2017 13:02

Hi all.. looks like I’m back Sad (no offence to you guys). Found out on Tuesday that I’m in the process of miscarrying which is the worst feeling considering that today I’d have been 12 weeks. Trying not to be too down about it all and be positive that I can get pregnant, and don’t want to wait too long before we try again or else I will talk myself out of it!

How are you all? Has there been any more BFP’s?

Cookie1831 · 29/10/2017 18:36

Oh muggle I am so so sorry you poor thing it is so awful hope you are getting loads of love and support at home xxxx

Pinkemi · 30/10/2017 11:58

on no @justamuggle I am so sorry. :( sending you all my love. xx

JemDoughnut · 30/10/2017 13:19

I'm so sorry @JustAMuggle. Sad I don't know what to say...but here to 'listen' and give support if you need it. Flowers

JustAMuggle · 31/10/2017 21:37

Thanks all, been a pretty awful week. Was all confirmed today and given the tablets to hurry things along so am tucked up at home resting up now.
Sorry to bring the mood down, you were all the first ones to know with the BFP and helped me when I was stressing with the getting pregnant part. I thought I’d let you know as it just goes to show life sucks sometimes especially when you think everything is fine and dandy!

Cookie1831 · 01/11/2017 12:41

I hope it passes quickly without too much pain, I chose a d and c for my kissed miscarriage a few years ago, am 6+1 today and feeling anxious I have an early scan next week but am trying to bring it forward as have a social thing I have to go to at weekend and will be highly suspect if I am not drinking x

Cookie1831 · 05/11/2017 22:29

Hey lovelies just wanted to update as it has all gone quiet on here, had a private scan Saturday and there was a wee bean with a heartbeat there 6ish weeks which is roughly what I thought. Am praying it sticks but wanted to wish you all lots of love and luck and hopefully see you over on some antenatal chat if I don't end up back here xxx

JustAMuggle · 07/11/2017 08:25

@Cookie1831 sorry was having a break from all things baby related!

Congratulations and good luck with everything xx

Pinkemi · 08/11/2017 13:08

Hey guys.. I was also having a bit of a break. Now in my two week wait and trying not to think about it. (Not really working. Lol ( was feeling quite positive to begin with but have been drying out the past couple of days.. so now think it won't be my month again. sigh guess I just have to wait and see.

Cookie1831 · 08/11/2017 19:18

Thanks for replying good luck girls xxxxx

JemDoughnut · 08/11/2017 19:23

Good news is good, @Cookie1831! :D

It is CD48 today. I have no updates. There is NOTHING going on down there. No pregnancy, no period...bored now. I would like to start my next cycle now please.

Pinkemi · 13/11/2017 10:24

@JemDoughnut any update?

I am due on Sat or Tuesday (depending on which app i look at.)

Been having regular reflexology which is helping me to relax a bit. Just sad that this is taking so long. :(

JemDoughnut · 13/11/2017 13:42

Nope. Its CD53 today. Another BFN on Saturday, unsurprising but just in case. Won't bother now until next cycle. If I ever have a next cycle!

I've stopped temping too. Just for now. If nothing is happening I may as well take the opportunity to try and relax a little.

It is frustrating, I don't like the irregularity in general. And it worries me a little. I know loads of women have PCOS and other fertility issues and still get pregnant (I'm a fertility treatment baby myself), but I think I've read too many posts from other women with similar problems who are still trying after years and years.

I hope AF doesn't show for you for the right reason. :)

And if that happens I may have to find a reflexologist in the area. :p

chewbacca83 · 13/11/2017 20:56

Hi everyone just checking back in. Not had any luck last 4 months so have invested in a ovulation kit. Seems my cycle is much shorter than I thought so not even sure I have been hitting the right days. How is everyone else? Anyone else keep thinking 'sod it' and cracking open the wine?!

Pinkemi · 14/11/2017 11:06

@Jemdoughnut.. the only thing that I have carried on doing is temping.. although if AF does arrive.. i might just give it up completely. Im pretty certain she will.. i was feeling VERY irritable yesterday and have gone all dry down there.. same symptoms as all the months before. meh.

My reflexologist wants me to do an ovulation kit again this month to make sure we can tailor our sessions around my cycle.

She wants me to have one session whilst on AF, then one 4 to 5 days before ovulation, then one 5-7 days after ovulation and then one at the end of my cycle. So i basically need to find out exactly when I am ovulating.

I used to think it was day 12.. but because my cycle seems to be getting longer its probably pushed it back.

Have you been to see the Doctors about it? I cant remember if you had or not.

@chewbacca83 yes me! Although saying that.. I have taken a much softer approach to drinking in this cycle. so last week I had one or two glasses of processco as we were celebrating birthdays.. so probably had 4 glasses over the week.

Has anyone ever done acupuncture? I started looking into it again.. wondering if I should give it a go.

JemDoughnut · 14/11/2017 13:10

Yeah, I've seen my doctor. Currently on Metformin. Think I've been taking it about two and a half months now. I'm sure like everything you take for this you probably need to give it at least three months before it really makes a difference...

I've also been off the pill less than a year and I know that can mess with things.

The sensible part of my brain knows I'm probably scaring myself more than necessary.

Pinkemi · 14/11/2017 14:16

@jemdoughnut... ah! okay.. im sure I read somewhere that it can take 3-6 months before your body can go back to normal depending on how long you have been on the pill for.. so you have time!

Me on the other hand.. I was never on the pill... and Im still having issues. :(

Pinkemi · 15/11/2017 11:58

So getting my AF symptoms a bit early.. temp has dropped for two days in a row.. had a bit of a funny stomach this morning.. feeling BOILING! checked Clue and it thinks I should be starting tomorrow.. maybe reflexology has fixed my cycle back to 29 days instead of 34? we will see!

Pinkemi · 15/11/2017 23:42

Currently lying in bed crying coz I'm pretty sure AT is here.. there was a distinctive pink tinge to my wipe just now. :-( even when I'm trying to relax we can't seem to get pregnant.. so fed up with this. :-(

Month 8 here we come I guess..

I'm not going to try and convince myself that It is implantation bleeding as my symptoms point to AF. :-(

Pinkemi · 20/11/2017 11:20

So.. had the strangest AF this month.. but now on the clear so back to TTC we go! ha!

Hope everyone else is okay?

chewbacca83 · 05/12/2017 12:23

Hi everyone juat checking in. I don't know what the hell is going on. I am 6 days over due and done about a million tests all negative!! Boobs a bit sore and temp is still up. No idea!!

Pinkemi · 15/12/2017 17:19

@chewbacca83 Hi! I've only just seen your update.. Did your AF come in the end?

I have just started again today.. :( Now on my 9TH month of trying for a baby. Getting VERY VERY fed up. :(
