*~*~May Obsess and Test~*~*

[MaerynPearl]

Testing every day from 1dpo will not make me pregnant and saying that will not stop me from doing so
FertilityFriend will not randomly post a big red PREGNANT over my chart But its only tenth time I have looked today, you never know if they will add that as a feature!
Evap lines are evil But I secretly hope for them just to have that second line on a test
I do not have TTC on my mind 24/7 Sometimes I think about what it will be like when we succeed!

We love cheap tests.
We love buying tests in bulk.
We have spent more on tests this cycle than we care to admit anywhere outside of this forum.

That twinge? Oh that could be implantation!
Am I nauseated or is it just that food I ate earlier?
Hello body? Could you just give me a definite sign?!

If you have ever even thought any of these comments, or something similar, this is where you can come to share. Post your tests to be scrutinized, whine about how long it is to get from 3dpo when you have your ovulation confirmed to 7dpo when you promised yourself you would wait to test.

I'm really hoping for my BFP this weekend.

yeah 8dpo is still very much early! Heck, you could still end up with bfns all weekend and STILL be pregnant!

Joining in...I tested this morning (9DPO at most, more likely 8) and got a BFN...trying to ignore the many symptoms because who knows?

Luckily, I have 7 more internet cheapies at home, so I'll be testing every morning!

Hey cycle twin! Looks like we will be enabling, I mean, supporting each other through our test obsession. Last one to the BFP is a rotten egg!!

And thanks for starting the new thread Maeryn!

Hi! I should NOT be here because I post on the no stressers thread but I'm losing ground....slip slip slidding into obsession. Oh well, I only have 2-3 tests left and I'm not until next month so I need to ration.

I'm 9 DPO and have more symptoms than normal and it's driving me crazy.
I tested today and it was very negative. Boooooooo.

I hope to wait until Sunday.

Anyone crampy? I've been having cramps since yesterday, low weird cramps. Of course, I could get AF tomorrow right? Here's hoping, not.

Hi all. We seem to have much in common. Another 9dpo gal here. Another BFn. I too am thinking of holding out until sunday or my temp drops. AF should be here mon or tues. I've got these strips, it's just the obsession and compulsive testing is getting to me, LOL>

seriously. I have no symptoms. I have no symptoms at all. I have noticed more peeing and boob sensitivity and that. But hey, it's par for the course re 2ww. Hey body, thanks for tricking me. What are you gonna do next?

This seems to be an 8-9 day squad here at the moment, so I'm joining

[songtothemoon]

OK--I have to chime in, too. I'm either 8 or 9 DPO, too. Waiting, waiting!
I gave myself an injection of HCG the evening I got a positive OPK (a week ago Wed.), so I can't test until Monday/Tuesday anyway! Grrr...

[Beth1231]

Okay, now I'm threeeee dpo....I need to find something to do (like clean, maybe?) to get my mind off of this.

Who am I kidding, cleaning is the best time to daydream about future chubby babies...

[Tara2]

Took a test this am FMU, 10dpo. I saw something ever so faintly liney. Could it be? Dipped second test in the same pee (yes I saved it). Thought this is a good way to test for evap... if the second test came up with nothing, then it's prob evap, right? I hesitate to even share this yet. Cuz what if it's my imagination?

So the second test... the last of the pink dye got stuck before it could go across the test window. Meaning, there is a frozen blotch of pink that never made it over the TEST line, so cannot tell if it had continued, where it would have gone. Can make out something fainter on this test though. Not seeing any pink outright, but maybe possibly there is a hint of color. Hard to tell!! What are the chances of 2 faintly possibly liney tests with the same pee?

I'll say this, though. The *something* I see is more *something* than I have seen when testing this entire week. That much is clear.

Oh you wanna see pics? LOL> So I took one of the 1st test wet, and 1 of it dried. And went to pic the 2nd test and camera batteries went out. Doh! So i can take one of it dried, after the batteries recharge. Not that dried pics mean much, right?

[finnegansmom]

Yes I want to see pics! I'm currently obsessing myself over a thin line....

ugh

[katiecornflakes]

Hi ladies.... I would definitely like to see some photos! Let us obsess with you!

I should definitely NOT be here either but in truth I'm already obessing! I'm 5 (maybe 6) DPO today. Wish I was 8 or 9 with the rest of you! It'll be here soon enough, I guess. This is only my 2nd full PP cycle and both LPs were bogus so I'm trying not to get my hopes up this time. I tried to convince myself I would wait until at least 11 DPO since my last LP was 9 days. But then I remembered I want to wean my Vitex ASAP so there's a great reason to start testing super early, right?? Haha. Any excuse!

Fingers crossed those faint/thin lines are the real thing!

So here's my test pics... 10dpo

Test 1 FMU
wet: http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC02364.jpg

dried

Test 2 Same pee... this one you can see where the last of the dye didn't make it even to the test line

http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7033.jpg

Test 3 12noon (yes i did)

http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7034.jpg

I think whatever it is shows up terrible in the pics, so let me know...

[katiecornflakes]

The first link didn't work for me. I can't see anything in the next 2. I definitely see something in the noon one, but it looks suspiciously like an evap. But hopefully not - fingers crossed!

Update us in the AM.

[Kahlan]

BFNs all weekend for me...but as of this morning I am AT MOST 12DPO and more likely 11DPO.

With my daughter I didn't get a (very faint) BFP till 13DPO, so I'm not stressing TOO much yet!

[SML27]

I feel like a total tool. I tested all weekend, all BFN. I was 10dpo and AF shows up last night.

That officially makes it my shortest cycle ever at 26 days, and I don't even get to try again next month as I am away on vacation without DH.

It all just seems so unfair. I'm young, fit, healthy, positive OPK's (I know that doesn't mean 'much' in the grand scheme) and nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.

I'm sorry.

[annablue]

I saved my morning urine (can't believe I've got my pee sitting in a cup on my bathroom counter... I really am crazy, ha) and if AF doesn't show tonight, I'll use it to test.

[Tara2]

I think I said this already somewhere, lol. So yesterday am test was bfn. Bedtime test had a pink line going the wrong way on IC. This am fmu IC was white as snow but FRER gave me a hinty hint of a line... i think. Will post a pic soon, but it doesn't show up much in the pic. That means it's more likely an evap, yes? But I saw something at 4 min and it is more visible now it's dried. Which doesn't mean anything, i know...

well... mine barely showed up in the pics but I had no trouble seeing it in person.

[Laggie]

I am more hopeful than usual this cycle for some reason... not for any good reason but I think I'll be testing soon. Usually I POAS and then AF arrives within minutes I'm currently 9 or 10 DPO, I'm not really sure because I forgot to temp a bunch of times.

My Chart

The only weird symptom I have is that I have been weepy (wanting to cry about stupid things like TV or newspapers) since ovulation. Usually I only get like this 1 or 2 days before my period so I'm not sure what it's about. I think it just means that at this point I am able to convince myself that EVERYTHING is a pregnancy symptom. This is my 9th cycle TTC.
