I wish obsess & test was still alive...

[babygrey]

... because I need someone to remind me that giving in to the urge to pee on sticks will not make me pregnant and no matter how hard I try, I cannot will a second line to appear.

I totally think I'm better off using only FRERs bc then the money argument holds me back... with ICs and $trees, it is way too easy to rationalize!

anyone else in the same boat?

or maybe what I need is a whole loving circle intervention from the no stressors?

5DPO and i peed on a stick with afternoon urine! *gasp!*pertty sure they all moved to the ONE thread.

the pee on a stick aholics thread started up and I figured I no longer needed to run obsess & test... but feel free to start a July thread if you want (just search it in the forums and quote the first post, then copy everything inside the quote boxes and paste it into a new thread. theres no upkeep necessary or anything.)

I'm obsessing without testing. And obsessing and obsessing. Grrrr! I get so mad at myself!

At least the fact that I have not tested makes me feel a little better about not being able to keep my mind on anything else. Lost in the fantasy of having a wee one next spring even though I am actually expecting to be disappointed this cycle. If it's not symptoms obsessing it's looking for PG charts to compare. Boo! I wish it would just happen for us! I wish I didn't have a reason to prepare for disappointment.

Yep. That's me too. I don't know which is better just taking the damn test and not feeling guilty about it, quit testing! I just want to know ASAP. But then that could be making for more disappointment when I test 5,6,7,8,9, etc. dpo. I feel for ya!

We would love to have you on the no stressors thread. It's not like we're totally stress-free people--more like we strive to be.

Oh, and your idea of only buying expensive tests is a good one. Where I live, there are no cheap tests, and the "expensive" tests are like 5x more expensive than other people's, so that helps me hold off.

P.S. My son was also born in April of 2009.

I am becoming an obsessor I guess. I look at my chart 3 times day and am always analyzing it gah. I do hold outg to test until the day af should arrive. I pos get bfn and af a few hours later. I do that most months unless af comes right when I pee in the am. I'm 6 dpo and not feeling pg yet although we dtd a couple times during my fertile days. But I counted the days from our oopsie with ds to the day I tested and there were 17 days there so I have vowed not to test at least until 13 dpo gah!

I'm an obsessor. I've taken 5 tests in 2 days. I'm 9 or 10 DPO today.

I obsess and POAS all the time. I even sometimes hope that my period isn't real when it shows up and I will be pregnant anyway. we have been ttc # 3 for 2+ years.
