I know kayz, it was sort of part of my warped reasoning in buying it!! But also i thought if i wait until AF comes then buy it it would be too late to use it this cycle so....anyway we shall see one way or another

kayzisbroody · 31/03/2008 12:21

Yeah, its like tempting fate isn't it.

artichokes · 31/03/2008 13:45

I thought it was time I joined this thread as I have a compulsive addiction to testing too early. This month I swore I wouldn't do it until at least 12 days DPO but I just weakened and wasted yet another test. I am either 9 or 10 days DPO so testing was silly, silly, silly.

Help me! How do I stop myself wasting my other two tests before Friday????

kayzisbroody · 31/03/2008 13:49

You can wait with me. I am due on Friday so I will test Friday morning.

If you feel an urge to test come on here and we will stop you from testing!!

artichokes · 31/03/2008 13:52

Thanks Kaz. I might have to ask DH to hide the tests until Friday morning! My will power is appalling.

roquefortlover · 31/03/2008 13:54

I can feel my resolve weakening...feel really nauseous today . Have had to be very firm with myself not to go and buy a First Response.....

kayzisbroody · 31/03/2008 13:56

I did exactly that last month Arti. They are locked in his briefcase.

I really want to go to Boots and get a First Response but I am not going to.

roquefortlover · 31/03/2008 14:02

kayz you are an example to me! If I can get through today I have no opportunty to buy one before Thursday which will be good.

kayzisbroody · 31/03/2008 14:07

I was very bad last month, just ask Natalie. I did too many tests and I felt awful.

I think I'm being so controlled because I think we missed OV as dh was feeling ill. So maybe thats why.

artichokes · 01/04/2008 09:35

Hi all - I am very pleased with myself this morning, I managed to resist the lure of the bathroom cupboard, ignore the box of tests and get out of the house without breaking. I am now at work and so have no oppurtinity to test until tomorrow morning .

I am not sure why I am getting all excitable this month. I am very unlikely to get a BFP as we only did it once because DH had a really, really bad back at the crucial point. Any way, roll on Firday...

kayzisbroody · 01/04/2008 09:39

Please slap me now!!

I have just bought a First Response. Please stop me from using it until Friday!!

OracleInaCoracle · 01/04/2008 11:47

thats great artichokes. every day is a step closer. it would be great if we could all resist the pull, and then get bfps!!

kayz, youve done so well, resist! not long to go now. ask dh to hide the test.

sorry ive not been on ladies, spending quality time with dh and ds, off to ikea in a minute. feeling quietly optimistic this month, dont know why, no major symptoms (if you dont count going right off spicy/garlicky foods) but period is due next weds (last month it was a week late tho) so only 7 days to go!

Hello everyone, I am trying to stay away because I have broken the rules and tested, all BFN, including todays (period is due today, no sign of it so far though)

Kay did use just about test going last month, all my her own fault though!!

Will be testing daily till period comes, I would love to say I won't but I know I will, so watch this space I guess!

Good luck to anyone else testing

kayzisbroody · 01/04/2008 12:00

I am going to give dh the test when he gets home from work.

Fingers crossed for you Lissie.

OracleInaCoracle · 01/04/2008 12:01

nj, fingers crossed for you. have you been to the docs yet?

OP posts:
OracleInaCoracle · 01/04/2008 12:02

kayz, sounds like a good idea.

OP posts:
kayzisbroody · 01/04/2008 12:03

I wont throw my laptop at you. I'll throw dh's hifi at you(I hate it its ugly and he never uses it)

I am craving onions, why onions??

NatalieJane · 01/04/2008 12:04

Nope, Thursday afternoon I will be going now. I know it is only two days but it feels like a bloody lifetime!

At least for as long as period stays away for the chances of it being pregnancy get higher, and the chances of it being anything more sinister get lower, don't they?! (please just agree with me!!! )

OracleInaCoracle · 01/04/2008 12:07

yes!

OP posts:
kayzisbroody · 01/04/2008 12:07

I agree Nat,

NatalieJane · 01/04/2008 12:08

See you are all just saying that to shut me up.... LOL

Monobrow · 01/04/2008 13:00

Hello all. I am on CD22 and due anytime between 26-29 (this weekend). I went into Superdrugs to buy a new toothbrush and found myself in THAT aisle and I bought a CB Digital. Not only was I a complete weedy weakling buying it and literally ran back home and did a test which you are NOT supposed to do as you need the first wee of the day. Anyway, it was a bfn. I tested far far far too early and now Im all upset. Pathetic.

NatalieJane · 01/04/2008 13:10

Ahhh Mono, thing is, you know it's too early, and you know it isn't over until your period comes, take no notice of BFN, it is not over by a long shot yet

I am now having the usual pre-period cramps, so looks like I am out of the race for this month, but am now back to worrying what is wrong with my belly.... any of you who have looked at the pic of my belly on my profile, what the hell causes such severe swelling???

Monobrow · 01/04/2008 13:36

NJ - I know. The last few days of waiting are unbearable at times. Anyway, your belly...get it checked out. Could be nothing, could be something and the sooner you go the better. Call the GP today and make an appt. It is obvs concerning you so put your mind at rest. BTW, your boys are gorgeous!

NatalieJane · 01/04/2008 13:47

Yes I know the waiting feeling, I am in a way relieved to now be waiting for period, and not still be manic over the am I/aren't I question!

I am off to the docs on Thursday, seems like a long time away at the moment.
