TTW and a million HPT's

I am driving myself crazy. I am in my TTW, however not completely certain at what stage of the wait, because I had to guestimate ovulation. Now I think I am between 7-10 dpo, and although I know I shouldn't test yet - I am and I Have!I hate seeing that single red line on the stick, but cann't seem to stop myself from retesting the next day because maybe I tested too early (OK yes I know it is almost certainly too early).

Ok, so I know I should stop testing!! particularly as it has never in the past come up before 15dpo. BUT I think I am addictted! I know that I am wasting the HPT before I even do it, but I cann't seem to stop myself. It is worse then having a box of chocolates in the fridge and trying not to eat them!

Well that is my little secret. please tell me I am not alone in this unhealthy obsession with HPT's.

hey there, i am new to this site but you are not alone do not worry! i am due for my period tomorrow.. but did a HPT last friday.. and the next saturday morning..
now i have to wait until i actually get my period ot find out other wise if i got another test i would use it!
it is hard but hang in there only few more days.. to help me get through i keep saying to myself that im not.. although secretly i want to be so im not sure how this system works haha! and the worst part is i cant talk to my friends coz then they will know im trying and i dont want them to know!

thats my secret :)

You're definitely not alone misty. I have used a HPT even though I knew I hadn't even ovulated yet :redface: !My bathroom bin is full of HPTs as I pass 1 tww after another.
Hang in there hun :hug: You are not alone in the land of pee-sticks!

hey at least you become good at peeing on a stick! hehehehe! to be honest i dont know what ill do when i do actually see two lines on a stick! hahahaha

p.s due for AF tomorrow.. hoping it doesnt arrive!!!

You are exactly right, amsta, I no longer pee on my hands! lol I've tried mentally rehearsing what I'll feel when I finally see the 2 lines. I just can't picture myself though. :pray: for :noaf: for you hun. :goodluck:

will keep[ you posted..

misty, I was just the same. I think the earliest I tested was 7DPO. I did actually get a BFP at 9DPO (although that's what FF said I was, I think I might have been 10 DPO).

My advice - get the ebay cheapies, in case you haven't already. They worked for me, and are only a fraction of the price!

Amsta :crossfingers: AF stays away!

goood morning all.. well i had cramps all into the early mornings this morning.. and nothing.. im due today.. so i have my fingers crossed... any one get cramps and actually were UTD.. im a first timer!!!

Sorry amsta, I can't help you as I am a first timer as well, but keeping everything crossed for you. Hope you are UTD hun. :goodluck:

How are you surviving your TWW misty?

AMSTA- Yep... it is possible to be cramping and be UTD! Had it with both my babies....

Hoping AF stays away for you darl!

:)

hey there girls, thanks misty least we can be first timers together.. have you had a positive result yet???
and thank you for your positive advise missymoomoo.. i was due for my period yesterday.. havent gotten any thing yet.. which is great! getting little pulls and cramps (like needing to go to the loo) in my bellie.. (sorry for too much info haha) but i have been around family all yest and today.. so i havent done a test.. but also because this is actually the first month DH & I have tried.. i am secretly too scared to do a test haha!
im still tired.. bright yellow wee no matter how much i drink water.. and my face is breaking out.. plus the cramps although this cud b AF signs too.. i think i shud do another test hahahaha!

fingers crossed for you Misty.. and missymoomoo are u trying??? its nice to meet some girls u can actually talk to... i cant talk to my friends yet.

Hey AMSTA,

No, we arent ttc yet.... we wanna go for #3 possibly in december/jan :) IM EXEPTIONALLY clucky however, and it is taking every strength i have to not just jump DF's bones without condoms hahahaha (i went off the pill 2 months ago to give my body a chance to fully get into its own cycle again before we ttc in dec). (id say sorry for TMI BUT lol as they say, when ya ttc and on a forum there is no such thing ha ha ha ha)

All that your describing sounds VERY +..... i know if it was me, i would of tested at first wee this morning hahahahahah

Looking forward to see your news :)

thanks you missymoomoo! soo hard tho.. coz we only jsut started trying last month thinking that it would take ages.. and i was hoping to use our private health to go private (first time round etc).. and ihave to have a baby due 30 june give or take a week it i am UTD!!!

so got my period on the 16th september meaning i ovualted the 39/30.. we tried on the 30th.. when would i be due?
if we cant use it there isnt much i can do.. just not entirely happy with our local public hospital...and its the only choice where i live..

p.s cant wait to do a test tomorrow morning!

LOL - ive been there and done all that before.... but the day i needed a HPT to reconfirm DD's pregnancy I had to go out and buy one because I wasted all the others in the week leading up to d-day!

Wishing you all the best of luck :)

Amsta, not sure on ur cycle length, but im guessing your the average 28days... soooo with that in mind.. if you are UTD your due date would be 23rd of June 2009!!!!!

;)

p.s i cant wait for you to test tomorrow mornign either hehehehe

:wall::wall::wall::wall:

I recalculated and I have been testing WWAAAAYYY too early.:redface::doh: The first day of my last a/f was 10th Sept. that means (if my cycle is 'normal' which I don't know as it is the first I have had since having DS) that O should have been around the 24th sept - give or take a few days. meaning today is only approximately 8dpo.

Does that all sound right?

I tested this morning - still BFN :wall:. I only have one test left, which I WILL NOT USE until saturday. and then I WILL NOT buy any more until next wednesday (approx. 14dpo).

I gotta stop obsessing. I don't suppose anyone here can tell me how???

Good morning misty!! i need help too..
i re calculated my dates as well and i had my AF on the 3 sept.. and as at the 9th we BD until the 19th.. there fore my AF is now over due as it was due on the 30th Sept.. i feel bloated.. tired etc.. but nothing.. ive done 4 tests in the past two days and nothing!!!

i dont understand.. please help because i had clear raw egg white looking stuff on monday.. could i only just be ovulated on monday!! how werid im sooo confused!!!

ive tried talking my my hubby but he doesnt understand how the female body works.. and non of my friends kno we are trying so i feel ike im going insane!

i hope you are UTD.. and hope you get a result soon!!! good luck im thinking of you :)

hi Misty.. i'm in the same boat as you.
i'm in the TTW and the first day of my last AF was 11 September!
i had to guess ovulation as its my first month TTC but i have promised myself i will not test until next friday 10th october. i bought a HPT last night at the supermarket so i'm sure i'll be tempted to use it earlier than friday!!
although the more time i spend on this site i will probably end up testing early!

i have been looking after my newly planted flower garden to keep me occupied, if i cant have a little baby growing inside me i may as well have some pretty petunias!

i have also decided that when AF comes i'll treat myself to some salami, soft cheese, sushi and probably a bottle of red wine.. there has to be some positives about AF coming doesnt there?!

hey there cloey!

im amy.... misty and i have been going through the same thing at the same time.. im a first timer too! all i can say is distract distract distract yourself hahaha your flower garden sounds great.. maybe i shud take up that idea.. i am 4 days over due for my period and have had negative HPT readings.. so i dont know what is going on with my body haha im at the point of just giving up forgetting about it and waiting till my AF arrives.

although we are off to bundaberg this weekend to see friends to a HPT would be a good idea being that im sure this weekend would involve a drink! i agree with the soft cheese and bottle of red..
how old are you? and where do you live..
im 24 and live on the northern rivers.
all the best on your two week wait! hehe

sorry typo im 25! hahahaha i h ope thats pregnancy brain!

well i know i said i was going to wait til friday for a HPT but i caved and did one last night. i was feeling so bloated and gross. anyone, it obviously wasnt FMU and it came back BFN but i'm still thinking AF isnt due just yet!
only time will tell. will test on friday morning if AF hasnt arrived tomorrow.
i'm running the melbourne half marathon on sunday so it would be better to know before then, either way.. it might give me a good reason not to race!!
ahhh, this TTW is going sooo slowly.
good news is that my petunias have started flowering... maybe its a sign!

and amsta - i'm 32 and live in sydney!
