BD'ing my butt off--whose in it for November??

[mackjess]

so who is struggling not to test already??? i am roughly 4dpo (thank you dolly for helping me) i swear i am going insane! the worst part is i have a stash of testing in my bathroom cabinet they are screaming at me xx hows everyone else doing?

I'm not exactly sure when I O'd. I had one tracker say saturday, one say sunday, and I felt like maybe I did on Tuesday. I may take an early Preg test in the AM that is sensitive to 10miu, just because I have a follow up at the OB tomorrow. Just in case I OV over the weekend there is a chance it could show up on a test tomorrow and if I'm already going to the OB then why not...

I don't think I'll take another one until next Wednesday though.

Well I will admit I done a test today too- even though I can't be sure if I've even o'd yet. Yes I am insane! Lol. Done another opk aswell and still neg.. It's a digi clearblue I'm using but wen looking at the sticks inside every day and too me it looks like the second like getting darker.. So then I think maybe I've not o'd but I'm so sure I have!! My ewcm starting to tail off yesterday and the O pains subsiding too! What to think?? Wish things where more clear cut for me.. Plus if I've not o'd yet that means I've even longer to wait on finding out if we've managed to catch an egg or not this cycle! Xxx

I was like that with the testing last month. TG for the dollar store I would have really went thru some money. I think I've calmed down a bit this month, and fought the test urge a couple times I wanted to do it. REALLY going to try to wait til next wed, other than testing tomorrow just because I'm seeing the OB.

 

[gnomette]

dolly if i were you i would go by what you know your bodys telling you an keep your fingers crossed do you temp as well dolly? what does that say? just keep its always good to practice

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Lol! Me too! I wanted to test before I O'ed!!

In response to testing...Been testing since period (or mc) ended...started with the "I should just make sure my hormones are back to normal" ..then came the " What if I'm one of those rare people that ovulate right away because of hormones being out of whack?"...I know... a looooong shot....then didn't have a clue if or when I really ovulated so been testing like everyday "just incase...so I will know how far along I am If it does happen this month"....lol..Any excuse I can come up with. Every day I have marked in my calendar as a possible O day means that I could get a positive about two weeks from that date....this month has been insane...and way too ashamed to tell anyone outside of this site about it....they'd have me commited : )

 

[Dollybird]

Gnomette I used to but after my ectopic I stopped.. Felt it was taking over a bit for me.. Although its times like these I wish I still did cause then I'd now!! But yeh I'm gonna just go by what my bodies saying.. Will keep doing the opks till sat (cd20) then stop presuming I've missed it. Bd'ing frequently anyways so I'm sure if by chance it's still to come the we'll have it covered lol.
Ivy i know exactly how u feel.. i think all of us here keep it just to this place when it comes to our testing obsessions! I know my hubby would think i was mad if he knew how often i tested! lol Xxx

 

[jabish]

I was so obsessed that I was testing both with opk and hpt cause i didn't knoe if i ovulated either.....and i use opk 2x /day...we can't help it..this overtakes out lives for the most part...people I work with or my family have no idea that this is how i spend my evenings on here reading about other women and getting advice from others who have been in my shoes and testing ..i even test for ovulation in my work bathroom....getting pregnant can get to be an obsession and it takes a toll on us but here we are still carrying on cause we are women and we are strong...we have eachother and tht's sometimes all we have cause other people get sick of hearing it..I don't even bother talking about it to anyone other than you ladies...thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BeautifulD]

I tell ya ladies this cycle I was squinting at tests from 4dpo!! I started to send myself a little crazy to the point I didn't believe the lines I was getting until I did a digi

 

[gnomette]

ivylane what cd are you on?
dolly if it was stressing you out then it was probably doing more harm than good so you were right to stop xx but you know your body so trust it it has its ways of telling you what its doing an it sounds like your properly clued up to read it x
jabish well said xx
beautifulD what dpo are you on now? stay positive xx

if my husband ever read what i wrote on here i dunno how he would react he would either call me a proper neurotic old mare an laugh at me or he would be mortified he gets as weird as i do sometimes so i dunno but sometimes i write an re write my posts on here mainly cause the original sound completely insane an barely make sense! x i am certain i am going crazy xx

 

[BeautifulD]

I'm 15dpo 4+1 the lines are really strong now so no denying it
feel free to have a look on my journal, I started getting proper lines at 8dpo...

my husband would think the same lol xx
