I'm already struggling not to test this morning!! I've a load of ic but I reallllllly want to pee on the one FRER I have left! I can't afford to get anymore until Thursday but the addiction of testing has taken hold of me 🙄🤣🤣

Anyone else struggling not to test?

I literally have a bin full of about 10 tests that I've taken within the past week. It's an obsession. I'm trying not to take another one til Wednesday to see if the digital says I am a week later in the pregnancy!

Cake20189 · 26/01/2018 09:47

Pee on the cheap ones! Don’t waste that precious FRER! 😂

Alida87 · 26/01/2018 09:57

I'm struggling with this too, I'm nearly a week late now but I did a test when I was 2 days late and it was negative. I was so disappointed, I don't want to do that to myself again but it's driving me crazy!

Batgirllikesgin · 26/01/2018 11:14

Only if you help me not test.

Have had lots of pregnancy symptoms this last week (and have never had pms before) including extreme fatigue and nausea. Think we must have had condom failure. AF due Monday....took internet cheapie yesterday and it was bfn, took another today and I swear I could see a whisp of a line so took a Superdrug pink die one and got...three lines! Confused

I know I need to step away from the tests and wait a few more days but I feel very pregnant (this would be our third) and I'm freaking out so basically just want to know which I realise I won't yet anyway! The madness has well and truly taken over!

HoldTightPretendItsAPlan · 26/01/2018 11:38

I struggle with this. Try to drink loads today, and pee really often. Then you cant test because it will be a complete waste anyway, there is no chance that it will work, none.

That's what I do anyway.

Batgirllikesgin · 26/01/2018 11:44

That's a genius idea!

wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 12:25

Well I had mums over at my house as a makeshift mums&tots there and I've ended up drinking my weight in coffee so no point in testing now. All of the cheapies are coming in as bfn and I want to believe the FRER although I do think the lines I can see on those are evaps 😩😩

Oakcrescent4 · 26/01/2018 12:42

Yes yes yes! 10dpo here, but already wasted 2 FRER on 6 and 7 dpo... trying to hold off until Sunday when AF is due, as I only have one test left!

wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 12:52

I'll be honest, I don't know what dpo I should be!

My cycles are normally every month on 22nd and last for 7 days and are heavy to the extent where pads are being changed every 20 Mins... tmi I know 🤣

Last af was 22nd Dec
No sex had
1st Jan spotting on one toilet journey

Sex on 4th Jan
Ovulation peak 4th Jan (according to the app flo)

Light bleeding 11th - 15th Jan butit wasn't frequent, I only used one pad per day as there was hardly anything.

Af was due 22nd and no sign...

Mind fuck or whaaaaaa? 🤣😂🤣

I just want to keep peeing on sticks until I get a bfp or af arrives!

Alida87 · 26/01/2018 14:57

Ok Batgirllikesgin, stay strong!

I've told myself I won't do the test without my other half around so since I'm working, it's gotta wait. Reward yourself for not doing a test, I'm gonna have a nice long bubble bath!

wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 15:33

@Alida87 that's a great idea!!

OP posts:
wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 15:34

Who's waiting until Sunday to test then?? I'll stay strong and not test until then if you all are and we can match bfp 😜 positive thinking there!

OP posts:
Oakcrescent4 · 26/01/2018 16:00

Sunday it is then 😆 here’s to drinking lots of coffee and water and resisting all temptation!!

Alida87 · 26/01/2018 17:09

Yea sure, I'll wait til Sunday 😊 we can do this!

wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 17:10

Have you all been trying for long? Any other symptoms?

OP posts:
Owlpatrol · 26/01/2018 18:20

Been testing this week and at due this weekend all with bfn's fairly certain I'm out but I'll join if af not arrived by Sunday!

Batgirllikesgin · 26/01/2018 18:27

We've not been trying. We wanted another but having been toing and froing over the practicalities. So this would not be planned.

Have had extreme nausea since Monday - I wake up with it and it goes by 930 ish and then resumes at 230ish for the rest of the day. Boobs have ben very sore since ovulation and I've had heartburn on/off to the point I've been having gaviscon. I've also had cramps on and off since ovulation. I got sciatica yesterday which I got in pregnancy 1 at 18 weeks and pregnancy 2 at 8 weeks. My physio told me last time that if I fell pregnant again that I'd probably get it straight away. Ive also been beyond shattered too...fell asleep at my desk on Thursday.

I'm worried that if I'm not pregnant that something sinister must be going on with me.

What symptoms does everyone else have?

Alida87 · 26/01/2018 18:38

Only stopped using birth control in November. Not really had any symptoms tbh, a bit of cramping, that's about it so I'm really confused

wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 18:43

@Owlpatrol sadly I think I'm not as I was due on Monday past but still no sign of a bfp or af!

Symptoms I've experienced which are not normal for me...

✨Bloating
✨The underneath of my belly and around my section scar feels tight inside, as in it feels like it's being pulled closed if that makes sense?
✨nausea every day this week from mid afternoon to bedtime
✨felt like I was going to properly barf when I made garlic bread the other night which is def not like me!
✨heartburn last two nights
✨cramps throughout the month since ovulation but not super sore cramps

I'm so confused! We weren't trying and my oh pulled out so the chances are even smaller, I just can't shake the feeling that I'm pregnant.

OP posts:
wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 18:45

Oh and I'm not on any contraception

OP posts:
Owlpatrol · 26/01/2018 18:49

Yesss sounds good though hun? I've had major indigestion all week and since ovulation but tested today and fairly certain Bfn!

wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 18:53

I think I want it to be positive more than I realise. It's certainly not the best time in life and would take ALOT of reorganising including moving house but I'd still be over the moon. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Is it Sunday yet?? 😂🤣😂🤣😂

OP posts:
Oakcrescent4 · 26/01/2018 19:06

This is our first cycle for #2! #1 was conceived whilst on the pill though so all the charting (or lack of because it turns out I’m terrible at remembering to OPK haha). Haven’t really had any symptoms apart from being very hungry. My boobs are normally really sore straight after ov until AF and they’ve only really got sore since yesterday so no idea! Will have to keep very busy tomorrow!

AmazingGrace16 · 26/01/2018 20:01

I'm 8 or 9dpo and desparate to test. with dc1 I got a bfp at 9dpo.

Waiting til Sunday with all of you!

wishfulthinker81 · 26/01/2018 20:04

Eeek!!! Good luck everyone!!! Xxx
